Terrorist threat in Grand Marais?

Jailing “suspected terrorists” in Grand Marais
Dear True,
I am heartsick when I read of the Homeland Insecurity plan to invade Grand Marais. I imagine high barbed-wire fences, constant traffic from military trucks and helicopters, and political prisoners subject to the torture sanctioned by the Bushies. I dread the destruction of quietude and beauty in our tiny and unique harbor village. How many of us—residents, tourists and summer home folks—have expressed our dismay that our town will be destroyed by rampant developers? And yet no one ever thought about possible invasive destruction by the militant Bush administration and its Chertoff-cum-no-bid-crony-henchmen. Heedless of peace and goodness, these ambassadors of ill will want to spread their “evildoer” message where nobody is evil, and thereby INVITE attacks. No terrorist would ever have cared about Grand Marais until it became a conclave of prisons and jailers.
Help! Help! A day,” as dear Emily Dickinson said during the Civil War. What is so badly needed is overtures of peace. Let us rebuild Iraq and Lebanon, express our grief at the loss of civilian lives, and commit to building true peace with all of our billions now spent on war.
