Spousal Terrorism

WN News Service August 16, 2006 by Bilbo Baggins

During the past 10 years there have been around 130,000 Americans killed by other Americans. During that time there were around 3,000 Americans killed by foreign terrorists. An American's chance of being killed by an American they know is much greater than their chance of being killed by a foreign terrorist. Why is there such hysteria about foreign terrorist?

Many murders are committed by an intimate partner, spouse, family, or acquaintances. Murders by strangers are 15% and undetermined relationships are around 35%. (Does this mean 35% of murders are unsolved?) http://www.benbest.com/lifeext/murder.html

These startling statistics has changed the Department of Homeland Security's focus on making Americans safer. Surveys have shown Americans are willing to give up a little privacy for a little safety, so the DHS has for several weeks been monitoring phone conversations of married people.

After an early study of phone wire taps by the National Security Agency it has discovered that millions of wives are having an elicit affair. As a result of this new data the DHS has increased the threat level to husbands from yellow to orange. A news release from DHS says with millions of wives having affairs it is only a matter of time before thousands of innocent American husbands will be killed.

The White House released a statement from President Bush saying people should go about their normal lives and let the government deal with all unfaithful wives who are a threat to freedom loving American husbands.
