I think you're confused, and I know that the above comment has me confused....
Would you not agree?
I keep thinking about that computer sitting with 911 information on it for months in FBI hands...and they couldn't look at it...because they didn't have a warrant... The plans went on, the plans were hijacked, the Towers fell, people died, we are at War... and just as a lot of the monster has been beaten down... here comes the NYT...outrage...no warrants.... And Congress that cannot keep a Secret about anything wanting to investigate...
As Jack Nicholson said in A Few Good Men, "All you did was weaken a country today . . . That's all you did. You put people in danger. Sweet dreams."
Sen. Arlen Specter (news, bio, voting record), R-Pa., said he would make oversight hearings by his panel next year "a very, very high priority."
Well looks like the Alito hearings are now on for 2Q06.
I believe this is going to be investigated by the Super Sleuth from Pennsylvania - Arlen Spector.
What a whole lot of nothing. Since this was ordered during a time of war it was already authorized by the congress. If anyone feels their civil rights were violated they have a right to sue the NSA in court.
After all the crap coming from my Republican Party representatives, I get an RNC fundraising request in the mail today.
I almost tore it up, but I'm trying to decide on what is the best course of action.
Any suggestions?
"The administration had briefed congressional leaders about the NSA program and notified the judge in charge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, the secret Washington court that handles national security issues."
The sentence above indicates the people scoped were foreign nationals, probably on work or student visa's, and not American citizens. 100% legal.
IIRC, standard practice in the NSA if they accidentally intercept domestic communications is to report it, destroy those communications beyond recovery, and report the verification of the destruction. They're pretty serious about not overstepping their bounds.
I can see how some employees would be wary of being told to purposely record domestic communications.
Yeah sure - we'll have hearings. How about right after the Able Danger hearings?
and john mccain is in those ranks
Get a big red magic marker and write your "NO EFFING WAY" response to it...all over, big red letters..."GET A SPINE"..."NO RINOS"..."DEFEND AMERICA"...etc...
Return.
Been doing it for a couple of years now, but they still send me the garbage. I will NOT ever give them a penny until...
G
LMAO!
That's definitely an option I'll consider!
Don't worry, just keep repeating "the government is here to help us. they will do the right thing" over and over. It works for me, especially during periods of heavy alcohol intake...
...was just sarcasm, and not the rantings of a paranoid DU-type conspiracist? Okay, thanks for clarifying that...
Send money to individual candidates who are in tough races...Forget the RNC.
First McCain and his leftist buddies tied our troops hands with an idiotic ban of "torture." Next step is to gut the NSA so the jihadis and Chinese can run wild. Good work McStain! We will remember when the primaries roll around.
Next the American people will believe that the FBI also operates within the letter of the law. What ignorance.
It's ok for you to call them "so called Americans (Republicans) in the US senate" but not I? Come on now decide what side of the fence you're on.
