Secret Court's Judges Were Warned About NSA Spy Data (Shhhhh...it's a secret)

I can't believe how reckless the left has become.

The reported source for this article is "government officials familiar with the program". I'll give you two guesses about which committee held a closed door breifing on intelligence matters today. They meet again tomorrow, according to their website.

I said on another thread that it would be less then 24 hours before the leaks started coming

I seriously doubt any part of this program was focused on obtaining Warrants, it was focused on stopping Terrorists attacks. If we wanted a Warrant, we would have used the FISA Court.

from what I have read, this NSA Terrorists surveillance program was not about law enforcement, it is about monitoring the enemy within

Gamesmanship and the game is too damn dangerous.

[Mo1]

I don't remember the NYT reporting that .. they just claims warrants were denied

There was nothing about the program itself being "shut down"

[oceanview]

maybe the nerve gas scare will shake some of these idiots up. although it was a false alarm, it could easily have been real (like the anthrax attacks). maybe they will think to themselves - "the enemy is out there, and they could pull off an attack like this, maybe we better get serious about thwarting it".

[BigSkyFreeper]

LOL!

[onyx]

They'll only get worse. Guaranteed.

And, I am tired of hearing that it's only the "far left" because it's the whole of the GD democrat party.

[oceanview]

yup, its them.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Risking the safety of the nation all for the expressed purpose of regaining power. That's what all this is about.

"You're a spiker, aren't you?

Your an idiot aren't you? No one can be so utterly stupid that they actually think the American people have forgotten 9-11 all ready can they? Are you really such a utter complete moron to think this is a political winning position for the Democrats to run on?

Go for it Twit. Strip the fake masks you assumed after 9-11 and run as the rabid hate American Always gutless Leftists you Democrats really are. It will be that much funnier watching all you Hysteric Leftist losers go on suicide watch in Nov after your Democrat Party heroes lose seats for the 3rd election in a row. What a complete political imbecile you must be.

Expect more leaks in Friday's papers. These loose lipped Senators are as predictable (and about as right) as a broken clock. It's been like the movie "Groundhog Day" since the days before the 2004 election, if not before. Except in this version, the Democrats are playing politics with national security, not trying to get the girl and better themselves.

[conservative in nyc]

And looks who's complaining, James A. Baker.

Baker's not complaining directly to the Washington Post:

Baker declined to comment through an office assistant, who referred questions about his FISA work to a Justice Department spokesman.

This leak has *cough* Rockefeller *cough* written all over it.

[Mo1]

Be prepared .. we will be hit again

These bleeping morons are doing everything in their power to protect the terrorists

I can't believe those judges shut the program down

[MNJohnnie]

Read post 40. Good luck selling this mindset to the voters. Better make sure your Psychologist is on call Nov 7th. Going to be a long election night for you losers.

On 2nd thought, considering where you keep your brains, you better make sure your Proctologist is on call.

I just saw Upchuck Schumer on O'Reilly saying that he agrees with the NSA intercepts and that Al Quaeda captives be subjected to whatever extremes of interrogation are necessary. Have I been sucked up and transported to some alternative reality or was O'Reilly experimenting with some bizarre kind of mind control?

[mumps]

Another good laugh! You've got real talent for the full-tilt writing style. (It's a genuine compliment, whether you're a spiker or not.)

"Both judges had insisted that no information obtained this way be used to gain warrants from their court, according to government sources, and both had been assured by administration officials it would never happen."

Does the WaPo know they are strengthening the Presidents case for why he had to create the NSA warrant-less eavesdropping program?

Hello!

If they won't give him a warrant using the information he needs the warrant to obtain than we have ourselves a wittle pwoblem.

[onyx]

Schumer always presents a moderate face on O'Reilly's show.

It's ALL play acting.

[MNJohnnie]

HAAAAAAA. You really ARE this stupid!!!
