Rockefellaw is stepping in it!

The best discussion of why the President has Constitutional authority and responsibility to do "Terrorists Surveillance" is this:

Checked and Unbalanced - George Will’s diatribe against the NSA program is meritless.

The top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee wants the panel to look into whether the National Security Agency was eavesdropping without proper authority in the weeks after the Sept. 11 attacks.

Because if they hadn't this same cretin would be asking why NSA let another attack happen when they had the means to stop it by eavesdropping. You can't win with these self serving libs.

Yes, you can always depend on Senator Rockefeller to look out for the liberties of terrorists, wouldn't want to violate their right to develop terror plots in privacy, now would we?

Now here is something to think about: could it be that the Democrats and their assorted fellow liberal/leftist travelers who are shrieking the loudest about this NSA surveillance program have the MOST at stake, if for some reason THEIR communications had been intercepted and analyzed?

Isn't Rockefeller under investigation by the FBI? I swear I read that on a thread here a while back.

The problem here is Rockefeller is probably off the mark. However George Will, contrary to those whiny 'conservatives' at RNC HQ(otherwise known as NRO), isn't. It's sad to say however it took Will so long to wake up.

"including any warrantless surveillance" - that took place between the suicidehomicide hijackings in 2001 and the initiation of President Bush's controversial surveillance program.

More members of Congress are also expressing interest in weighing in on the program. Sen. John Warner, R-Va., told reporters that he's had conversations with members of the "Gang of 14" - centrist senators who defused a showdown over judicial filibusters last year - about whether they should consider reviewing laws relating to the president's program. But, he said, they haven't reached a decision.

Ummm .. is Warner trying to that the Gang of 14 run the Senate and the other 86 don't?

And interesting that Rockerfeller .. the senator who has admitted to having talks with and visited with the enemy is all worried about who was caught up in the wiretapping

Well that does it, Rockerfeller had questioned weeks, 208 to be exact, after 9/11.

Warner also would not say whether he personally believes Bush acted within his authority. "All I know, there's considerable doubt out there," said Warner, who as Senate Armed Services Committee chairman can attend intelligence panel meetings.

John Warner. What a lowlife sleazeball!

I don't like Democrats because they're gonna get us KILLED!

These a$$holes don't give a damn what happens to America, as long as it provides an opportunity to badmouth this administration.

What are Rockefeller's poll numbers? I cannot believe that
West Virginians would vote him in again after these last 4 years.
