In the spirit of the President's newfound candor, we call upon him to correct the record, explain why members of Congress were left in the dark and support an investigation into this secret spying program...That sounds like a direct challenge to me.
Time for Bush to name some names.

I don't care about the minutes; I want to see the NAMES.
Let them deny it; then they can release the minutes.

I cannot get over how nutty the DNC sounds when they say crap like this. There's going to be blood on the floor of the Senate and I want to see it.

Names would be nice :)
Me thinks we are getting quite close to sucha thing.
As for the DNC line.....Dean has been removed from the keyboard!!!!

Have the DNC and Conressional Democrats declared war on Bush and red state America? Increasingly, it feels like it.
A famous maxim has it that the first casualty of any war is truth. Democrats are hacking away at truth with broadaxe ferocity of berserkers annihilating a village on a river raid.

A good rule of thumb to remember when dealing with the leftists, socialist, liberal democrats, the DNC, and most of the MSM is simply this...
Any accusations they are making are in reality an admission of guilt on their part on issues similar to or the same as what they are talking about.

Exactly. They project their own behavior on others because, to them, after all...it is what they do, and they figure the rest must be like them and are therefore open to accusation...except when they have the reigns.
They never contemplate that there are people of reason, principle, honor, and integrity who are not like them at all. It is such people, of reason, commitment, intergity and honor that have made and maintained this nation and its liberty, with the Hand of Providence to support them.

Sounds like the DNC was given a heads up by the Old York Times and were ready to run with this lie??

Guess he didn't brief Howard Dean ~LOL~

This is getting too easy. The most surefire way to get to the real truth is to believe the exact opposite of a DemocRat claim.

I agree. He should just put the names out there and the dates. I also agree with Cheney that congress should be given polygraph tests.

The text below is from a 2002 holding by the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review. The holding in it's entirety is
here. The text is from page 48.
"It will be recalled that the case that set forth the primary purpose test as constitutionally required was Truong. The Fourth Circuit thought that Keiths balancing standard implied the adoption of the primary purpose test. We reiterate that Truong dealt with a pre-FISA surveillance based on the Presidents constitutional responsibility to conduct the foreign affairs of the United States. 629 F.2d at 914. Although Truong suggested the line it drew was a constitutional minimum that would apply to a FISA surveillance, see id. at 914 n.4, it had no occasion to consider the application of the statute carefully. The Truong court, as did all the other courts to have decided the issue, held that the President did have inherent authority to conduct warrantless searches to obtain foreign intelligence information.26 It was incumbent upon the court, therefore, to determine the boundaries of that constitutional authority in the case before it. We take for granted that the President does have that authority and, assuming that is so, FISA could not encroach on the Presidents constitutional power. The question before us is the reverse, does FISA amplify the Presidents power by providing a....."

Peach, can the "Gorelick Wall" be removed after the Patriot Act is null and void? Seems she was appointed to keep intelligence from flowing from one intellegence agency to another. The Gorelick Wall removed any and all avenues whereby the pertinent agencies can exchange information and connect the dots.
