Bush's Non- Existent War on Terror -- NO convictions of Terrorists.
/Although Bush has bragged [here

that "since September the 11th, law enforcement professionals have
stopped terrorist activities" in eleven states, including New Jersey.
It's unclear how the Justice Department has "stopped terrorist
activities" because it hasn't convicted any terrorists. According to
Georgetown Law professor David Cole, "On September 2 a federal judge in
Detroit threw out the only jury conviction the Justice Department has
obtained on a terrorism charge since 9/11... Until that reversal, the
Detroit case had marked the only terrorist conviction obtained from the
Justice Department's detention of more than 5,000 foreign nationals in
antiterrorism sweeps since 9/11. So Ashcroft's record is 0 for 5,000." [more ] links via Center for American Progress [here ]
