- "Every community should be on guard against
suspicious
activity, even the activity of potential terrorists," Ashcroft he
told the crowd gathered there. "While our brave men and women in our
military work to defeat terrorists overseas, we have the opportunity ...to
make a difference here at home."

- Already, Neighborhood Watch programs around the country
have amped up their watchfulness. The National Neighborhood Watch
Institute,
headquartered near Los Angeles, has been selling -- for $27 each -- large,

and stripes in red, white and blue, reads the warning: "All suspicious
persons and activities are immediately reported to our Law Enforcement
Agency." Two of the biggest orders the institute sent out recently

S.C.

- The directive came from no less than Attorney General
John D. Ashcroft, who believes neighborhood watchdogs across the country
can help the government "weave a seamless web of prevention of
terrorism."
He enlisted the aid of Ed McMahon -- who's gone from pitching Publishers
Clearinghouse Sweepstakes to pitching the war on terrorism -- and funneled
almost $2 million to double the number of local Neighborhood Watch groups
nationwide to 15,000.

seen without his personal bodyguard: http://www.madcowprod.com/ Maybe
Ashcroft
should set up a Neighborhood Watch in Langley, Fort Meade, and Riyadh.
