Giving terrorist Constitutional Rights is just ludachrist.
I was mowing the lawn today and in my mind I called them
economic-sepratist
During times of war, unalienable rights may best be protected through non-Constitutional means. This country has a long history of CIC's -- from the War of 1812 and the Civil War all the way to the present -- who during times of war supersede the Constitution.
The check has always been, is it necessary to do so and when the war is over, are these super-constitutional actions brought to an end.
I would like to know two things. 1) Bush said the interceptions were made outside of our country , Does this mean our law cannot be broken because we have no jurisdiction outside of our boundaries? 2) When did enemy agents become protected ny our Constitution , aren't they covered by the Geneva Convention?
The citizens of this sovereign country have an unalienable right to protect themselves from what may enter this country.
There is no unalienable right (and no Constitutional right) to privately enter this country whether it be in person or by communications.
My point or question is this, if we did this outside of our boundaries there is no law broken because we have no jurisdiction thus the President is entirely within the law. Is this a fair summary?
1. She told them that their President was lying to them.
2. She told them that they were fighting a war they couldn't win.
3. She told them they were fighting because the big corporations wanted things in Japan and SE Asia.
Are we hearing these same things right now?
Who are the Modern Day Tokyo Roses?
I would agree with that.
BTW, how do you lift the packs of shingles by yourself onto the roof? :)

"I doubt your hearing the music, and just to clear up any misconceptions, within a week, your probrably sending some data packets through a router, switch, or server that I have set up or supported based on the fact I have worked at or for every Big 5 company, four of the Fortune 5 companies, the 3 of the top 5 banks in the US, and every major carrier in the US and a few overseas, without touching the smaller banks, healthcare, and bioengineering companies performing advanced data communications setup."
This one sentence explains a lot: the CIA planted a radio in your head, right?
As for your other point, I'll put it to you again that it's extremely unlikely that any of the men you listed would have had any objection to what President Bush has (lawfully) done. Moreover, it's strikingly revealing that you left out Abe Lincoln's name, a man which you, apparently, would have had sent off to prison during the Civil War.

And you'd be singing "Sieg Heil" today.
