When conservative cut anti-terrorism funds they do so on the grounds that not much terrorism had occured in the US and that it seems a much better choice for fiscal restraint social security cutbacks or defense cuts.

However, after 9-11 and we saw suicide terrorism here on our soil, we have since experienced an agensa-shift. Now the resources are break-budget high. The government has grown beyond the dreams of most liberals - yet they are still not content until they hold the reins of power.

So they complain whichever way the wind blows.

Ashcroft made no mistakes based upon the history of terrorist attacks on US soil prior to 9-11.

If he was still making cuts after 9-11 then I would be ticked off.
