Murphy: Rand Corp. confirms 'war on terror' is a hoax

The following is a media release from John Murphy, an independent
candidate for Congress in Pennsylvania:

INDEPENDENT CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE JOHN MURPHY CALLS FOR IMMEDIATE
END TO PHONY WAR ON TERROR
RAND CORPORATION CONFIRMS WAR ON TERROR IS A HOAX

For Immediate Release: July 31, 2008
For Further Information: John Murphy (610) 384-4460

CHESTER COUNTY, PA – Sixteenth District Independent congressional
candidate John Murphy has been calling the so-called War on Terror
"bogus" for over three years on his website. On Tuesday, July 29, 2008
the Rand Corporation, a leading adviser to the United States military
released a study titled: "How Terrorist Groups End: Lessons for
Countering Al Qaeda". The report concludes that terrorists should be
perceived and described as criminals not holy warriors and that there
is no battlefield solution to terrorism.

According to John Murphy, "the 'war on terror' is an absolute fraud. I
said this over two years ago and it remains more obviously true two
years hence. It is a war designed specifically to mask the injustices
and inequalities which afflict millions of Americans by aggravating
and amplifying the injustices and inequalities inflicted upon millions
of non-Americans. Its very existence represents continuous and
ever-expanding victory for only the most vicious, opportunistic, and
hateful elements among humanity, who will impose upon us tragedy upon
tragedy, and terror upon terror, until we break cleanly and completely
from the rotted chains of mindless fealty to false national leaders
and forge links with those abroad whose friendships we have forgone
for far too long."

Murphy went on to say "I am overwhelmingly pleased that the Rand
Corporation has concluded that the 'war on terror' is a hoax and that
military efforts to deal with terrorism have always been ineffective.
As I have always maintained, and the Rand report concludes, we must
make policing and intelligence the backbone of US efforts.
