Bennett's new title: Patriot czar

President Bush's PR campaign to keep the public on his side in the
antiterror war has won an ally who knows how to fight the good fight.
William Bennett, the influential former "czar" of the drug, morals,
and education wars, has signed on to help. He's creating the Committee
on Terrorism in American Culture, which aims to buck up American
youth, especially college students whose patriotism is being met with
snickers and sneers on some campuses. "The older kids," says Bennett,
"are for this, and they need some encouragement." His idea: Use TV and
radio ads, special conferences, and a patriot SWAT team to shush
anti-patriots. While he sets up the committee&#8211;look for former
CIA Director James Woolsey to co-chair&#8211;Bennett has already gone
on the attack, questioning why Harvard University, for example, bans
ROTC but has offered bin Laden-family-funded scholarships. It doesn't
end there: Starting December 5, his education business, K12, begins
providing free patriotism lessons via the Internet for grades K-2.

What the fuck is a "patriot SWAT team"? Methinks we may at last get
an answer to the eternal question: who are the brain police?
