Now we have the NYT and the Washington Post reporting that Bush has been coercing internet and telecommunications providers to provide carte blanche to massive amounts of private communications. That’s sounds a lot like Total Information Awareness to me.

Time and again, this administration’s motto has been “If Congress won’t let you do it. . .do it anyway!” Why would this be any different?

Sure, it’s the Brits. But, can anyone not see the US fingerprints all over the case?

Per request, no NYT is quoted.

We can have 15 terrorists from saudia Arabia attack our country and I can attack my daddy’s enemy in Iraq?

The king can do as he wishes!

Any questions?

Dubya

And yes, there is a difference.

Roo. Any evidence of NSA’s secret surveillance? NYT does not count.

Hasn’t everybody figured that out yet?

It’s really quite simple when you think about it, but you have to be able to think in order to be able to think about it. Evidently, it must be a “catch 22″ situation because you all still blabbing about “terrorists.”

There is no such thing.

Bush switches from calling them “insurgents” to “terrorists” when he’s getting his ass whipped, so as not to look so bad and get you all to wringing your hands. Have you a least noticed that?

A “terrorist” is what you have left after you murder an Arab’s wife and kids. Now do you “get it?”

By calling the Arab resistance “terrorists” that maintains the “Victim Status” of the Israelis. It’s a “snow-job.”

The Israelis mooch a lot of money from us by selling us on the idea that they are the “Victims.”

{ While they busy themselves brutalizing the Palestinians and have us brutalizing the Iraqis, making more, you got it, “terrorists.” }

The Israelis can’t afford to end this “war on terrorism” as it would cost them too much money.

Any lights coming on?

Hello, anybody home?

It has nothing to do with a president versus a judge. It has everything to do with, 1) the president versus the Constitution, and 2) even without the Constitution , anyone versus your inalienable rights. Judges “adjudicate”..they determine via majority vote, at this time and in this climate, what constitutes a violation of the Constitution or of your God given inalienable rights..not just the 10 in the Bill of Rightds, but also those “penumbra” rights either implied by the basic 10, or clearly those granted by Providence to every individual.

Yeah, Yeah. I know.Go F— yourself codie.

With the number of warrant taps almost tripling per year, what made the illegal wire taps so special that they couldnt’ include them with the number they asked for each year?

I’d love to see the figures on how many were obtained illegally vs legally.

And also stop making terrorists ourselves by following their instructions?

Isn’t this getting to be too expensive as well as tiresome?

Well, the Bush administration might appear a little foolish asking a judge for 300 millions warrants including the names of those to be eavesdropped on plus the reasons for doing so, as stated in that G-d piece of paper, he likes to call the constitution.Not to mention that the Judge might get a little tried of signing his name 300 million times.
