"P.S. Go directly to Jail. Do not pass Go."
< I wish >
I want Rockefeller in jail and anything less probably won't satisfy me :-)
Where's Cliff's Notes?
:)
Merry Christmas Card?
I'd love to see a certain Rockerfeller in jail, for starters. Followed by most of the staff of the NY Slimes.
LOL.
It's a solid letter.
This by itself will not satisfy me - I want the publisher of such national secrets also frog marched to jail - Pinchy Schuzlberger of the infamous NYT and Risen the author of the book.

Wanna buy a vowel?
Judge Richard Posner's letter supporting the administration's NSA spy program.

Maybe he can share a cell with Sandy Berger?
I don't see how it can get any clearer than this. All these people running around screaming about their "rights" and the constitution this and the constitution that. Most have never read the constitution or they would have known that the president has the power to protect the nation. They'd also know that the judicial is not more powerful than the president or congress.
Wow, now that's citing case law. I had no idea that there were this many court decisions affirming the Presidential Authorities and it shoots up any congressional Rat's assertion that he didn't have the authority.
An article which details how Clinton and Carter used warrantless wiretaps:

Republicans, when they return to the Senate and House next year, had better be up to speed on this matter and ready to defend the president. I'm sick of their mealy mouthed half arsed defense of this administration.
You mentioned that we need to make a stink about this in order for it to get any traction with regard to Rockefeller, who should be kicked off the committee ASAP.
What I don't know is that we can do besides ensure that the talk show hosts and radio hosts know about this letter and others and write letters to the editor ourselves.
I'm with you! A non-covert agent is not outted and all hell breaks lose. Someone leaks some of our nation's most valuable secrets and the left yawns.
Alright can you give a synopsis? Sorry, but I started reading and then noticed the law codes and thought "There is no way I will understand this rigamarole."
The President further explained that "the unauthorized disclosure of this effort damages our national security and puts our citizens at risk. Revealing classified information is illegal, alerts our enemies, and endangers our country." These critical national security activities remain classified. All United States laws and policies governing the protection and nondisclosure of national security information, including the information relating to the
activities described by the President, remain in full force and effect. The unauthorized disclosure of classified information violates federal criminal law.
I get the feeling the administration has just fired
a shot across the bow of some folks and let them know
that they have crossed the line.
Ship of fools, prepare to be boarded!
