Bingo!!!! Silencing crtics is a tactic of third world despotic mentalities. We are Americans and do not fear our critics. Open and fearless debate sets us apart from most of the rest of the world. This admin is setting themselves up for far more suspicion and distrust from the people. Let's not forget the grillings ALL previous admins have taken from their critics, and rightly so.
God Bless America

Agree Joan. It is, no doubt, the same reason these acts are refered to in the generic "terrorist" rather than what they are, which is Islamist Jihad.
