Rush is all over this like white on rice.

Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record), R-Ariz., appeared annoyed that the first he had heard of such a program was through a New York Times story published Friday. He said the report was troubling.

Rockefeller knew about it. If it was so improper, why didn't he do anything about it?

[NormsRevenge]

LOLOL..
An elite playing by the rules? lolol

stop it, yur killing me.. :-)

[mewzilla]

Well, if this is so awful, Rocky's got some splainin' to do...

[Reactionary]

You notice that the Stalinists aren't the least bit interested in who leaked this information. No. They're only interested in using illegal leaks to damage the president.

Otherwise, you know, it's merely a matter of high treason.

[sargunner]

Just what was needed to shove Able Danger further under the rug.

Obviously, the Democrats will jump all over this to distract from the Iraq developments this week. You can hear the outrage across the hills....get ready. "We don't need an administration that spies on law-abiding citizens - this is an affront to our civil liberties!" Or something along these lines. You can write their script for them.

4 years, only 500 people? Sounds to me like they were watching some pretty suspicious people. Doesn't bother me.

I don't understand why Specter would be upset over this. Does not the Patriot Act permit this activity, provided the target is suspected of terrorism?

[Jigsaw John]

If they would secure our borders, I would have much less problem with the agency conducting warerantless surveillance within our borders. But when our borders are left wide open to anyone, it makes little sense after that fact to allege they are conducting these warrentless investigations to make the country safe and secure. I have a real problem with this. And so should every American citizen.

Seems Sen. Chubby Chops is upset over this doemstic spying business.

Well, he sure knows about ideals, alright. Like reporting a death ten hours after it happens. That's a pretty good ideal.

I wonder how much he paid the church for his annulment? That's a pretty good ideal, too.

If Americans are killed by another domestic terror attack, whaddaya think the hacks on Capitol Hill will be screaming about? "We need tougher laws to apprehend these vermin!" Something like that, I assure you.

Just what the country needs: Another which hunt.

Remember how well the 9/11 Commission did? What a joke.

[boomop1]

The senile bastard fell for the bait.

[YOUGOTIT]

Sen. Arlen Specter another total dumb ass who wants to support his democrat masters. I guess he has his knee pads on so he can kneel in front and give the democrats what they want or even the terrorist.

These so called Americans (Republicans) in the US senate are scum bags. They want their names in the NYTs and the Washington Post more than they want to protect the nation.

It will be a cold day in HE$$ before I ever again give money or vote for these anti-American scum bags.

[WillT]

Bottom Line: If you are not a terrorist and have nothing to hide, who cares whether some bureaucrat listens to your life story on the cell phone? Certainly, I don't.

[italianquaker]

this will help everyone forget about able danger and the nyslimes dictates policy again

[Stellar Dendrite]

here we go again.
gee i wonder why these guys arent as interested in pursing able danger?

[johnny7]

DIE SPECTER!!!!

[Roccus]

The ruling elite will have its way.
