Forget Due Process. Caesar Will Keep Us Safe!

The Department of Homeland Security admitted today that it improperly conducted a threat assessment on pro-life and pro-abortion groups in Wisconsin. The assessment came before an expected rally last year in response to the University of Wisconsin Hospital board decided to allow abortions.

In February 2009, pro-life advocates planned to protest the hospital’s decision to open up a new Madison Surgery Center doing abortions.

The Associated Press reported today that the department said in a memo that it “destroyed all of the copies of the assessment after an internal review found it violated intelligence gathering guidelines about ‘protest groups which posed no threat to homeland security.'”

AP indicated the assessment was reportedly only shared with the director of Wisconsin’s intelligence-sharing center and local police in Middleton, Wisconsin, the site of the rally.

Remember: In order to keep us all safe, we should allow these people the power to torture and assassinate Americans they deem to be a threat. Why go to the trouble of laboriously discovering whether the people the State condemns to death are “guilty” or “innocent”. As one famous Keeper of Public Security once put it, “If He were not guilty, we would not have handed Him over.” So just trust that whoever Caesar tortures or murders was a Bad Guy. Has he ever lied to you?
