When Osama makes a call here, I want the FBI to be able to go pick up the guy on the US side of the call.

Let’em.

What’s the point of listening to Osama speak to his minions if we don’t know where the guy is on the receiving end of the call?

Just an example. And yes, it’s left wing hypocrisy. At its finest!

I am glad that the New Administration is following the same footsteps as the previous one on this issue. It makes the same sense now that it did then.

I ignored all of the political chatter about this during the past few years because the policy has worked in making us safe.

This is probably the only thing that the new Administration has done since taking office that has made us safe. The other policies with respect to Russia, Iran and the Missile Defense Systems we won't deploy in the Czech Republic and Poland will not make us safe. Neither will closing the detention center for enemy combatants in Guantanamo make us safe.

It feels that mobile phone providers should freely hand over records of what mobile phone tower any phone was connected to,

And connected to doesn't just mean "made or received a call using the tower." If you have your phone turned on, it has to find the nearest towers and the cell phone company can keep track of that.

The important thing to learn from this is that the Left does what it wants to do and the media protects it. The Republicans ought to do what they want to do and go immediately on the offense when the press attacks.

The press isn't supposed to be in the business of defending one political party.
The press isn't supposed to be in the business of attacking one political party.

The two political parties can work together, or they can attack each other. The press should just report which way that's going, not take sides.

Bottomline: Republicans need to do what they think is right and they need to lash out at the press whenever the press questions them. It's not a level playing field, and being defensive won't win any games.

I just posted this over at the DU site. I’ll bet it dosn’t last 5 minutes.

Yep. Gone already. It appears that even when the zero is far worse than Bush, even the mention of it is not allowed.

Remember way back in the dark days of Bushitler 2...

Things are going swimmingly for "Curious OStalin"...
