LIVE THREAD: SJC hearing on the NSA surveilance program - C-span 1; 9:30 am EST

Posted on 02/06/2006 6:08:53 AM PST by ken5050

Good Monday morning, once again, fellow political jinkies. The NFL season may be over, but the political season inside the Beltway is 24/7/365. So join us, if you can, as those wacky Dems on the Senate Judiciary committee reprise their pitiful efforts to once again smear President Bush and score political points..

well actually I'm steamed and swearing under my breath

That too!

OT: Rush wondered aloud (as I did over the weekend) where all these Muslims got Danish flags so quickly, which to burn in protest of that cartoon the leftist press in this country has been saying is an outrage, because they're sympathetic to the radical Islamic cause.

I watched CBS news yesterday and the reporter said that "CBS executives have decided we're not to show this cartoon to you our viewers", but they had no problem putting Bush on the rack and raking him over the coals while foisting a lie upon the American people he dodged serving in Vietnam.

Gonzales says that the dialog with Congress, about amending the law to admit the surveillance in question, didn't happen until 2004.

Most reports are phrased in such a way to lead the reader to think that dialog happened in 2001.

Maybe they wear tinfoil diapers, to help with "accidents" when Gonzalez does his calm slam-downs of the Dim sinators.

Leahy: So what you call the foreign terrorist act, I'm going to call the breaking of the FISA Act.

Senator, you can call me a martian but that doesn't make me one.

I moved here from Los Angeles a few months ago. Now I see eagles every day instead of police helicopters! What a change!

Leahy saying we would have never found out about this if not for the press. Neglects to mention a leaker. Rockefeller ducks head.

that's true about OBLs sat phone.

to be honest, thinking about this and seeing the USA Today headline today, I am thinking that the Times and the Dems have accomplished one part of what they wanted to with this story. the story hasn't damaged Bush, but it has made the NSAs job harder. the attention to this story, the hearings - there are probably alot of dumb-ass jihadis inside the US who now know not to pick up a phone and call Pakistan. and who knows what kind of tips we could have gotten from monitoring those calls.

the political angle aside, the enemy has been helped by this story being leaked and dragged across the front page of the newspapers and the nightly news.
