Why is it when politicians try to appeal to centrist voters, they always resort to the "get tough on crime" game? Howard Dean has decided to jump on the anti-terrorism bandwagon. He sounds like you-know-who:

As president, Howard Dean says, he would mold a global alliance that would hunt down and do away with "sleeper cells" of terrorists capable of wreaking widespread damage with weapons of mass destruction

Dean will suggest several collaborative anti-terror ventures involving the United States and its various allies....He also will propose increased intelligence sharing and joint anti-terror military operations.

Dean, in an interview carried on The Washington Post's Web site Saturday, suggested that on some issues, the difference between President Bush and himself was more of tone and temperament.

We expected this from Lieberman, but not from Dean. Is he going to support Patriot Act II also? It's beginning to sound like it.
