Al Qaeda Cell May Be Loose in U.S., British Plot Hints
in response to reader comment: WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?

You are exactly right!! I do not know what is going on with our President and Congress. They tell us lies every day. They cover up their own illegal activities, and act as though we, the American citizens, mean nothing to them. Our voice and vote do not count anymore. Apparently our government from the President on down expect only two classes of people in America - they being the high class with all our hard earned tax money to support their luxurious lifestyle , and we are the lower classes who work and provide them with money. Americans need to wake up and see what is happening to us.
