Who knew this guy had guts? And that he is on Bush's side?
Way to go, Pete.

I don't know if he's on Bush's side so much as he knows his state is a lot less safe thanks to the NYT.

Proceed with caution. However, it does seem like Peter King is becoming more of a conservative. I applaud his strong stand against the NYT. In doing so, he jeopardizes any good political publicity for his reelection. That does take guts. I guess something good can come out of NYC. Way to go King.

I have to say I am surprised to find myself in such a minority on this - isn't anybody else concerned about the program itself? Doesn't anybody else think that by violating privacy and then classifying it the government is setting up an Alien and Sedition Law - like scenario where the only way you can criticize what the government is doing wrong is to risk going to jail?

The banking privacy laws require cause and notification to the accused before records can be accessed but it appears we accessed millions of records without doing these things. Once the government doing starts this sort of thing it doesn't go away -you can bet that future Presidents will cite this as precedent unless it is checked now. This expansion of government power does not feel at all conservative to me.

I don't think King has any guts. He spends most of his time in a whirlwind of emotion and hysteria.

Just once, I'd like to see some heads roll in the MSM.

I don't trust politicians that say one thing and do another.

Just you wait, once Peter King finally comes back around, he'll be riding up the elevator to Pinch's executive office suite to plant his lips on Schulzberger's backside.
