Take a look at the below screenshot of the yahoo page. The headlines on the right hand side say “Justice Dept. Opens Domestic Spying Probe” as if they are going to investigate Bush. Of course when you click the story the real title is &#82…

Apparently collecting signals intelligence regarding our enemies who have infiltrated/invaded this country is a crime publishable in the New York Times and The Washington Post. I suppose fighting back against your attackers is just not the way of the …

There have been several investigations on the Hill in the past couple of decades. Some have the appearance of political vendetas, but this one is justified. Someone somewhere is giving away or selling classified information to people they should not.

And another question that ought to be asked is what exactly was the purpose for these leaks in the first place. Was it to discredit and undermine a President and his Administration for political gain? Were there truly legal concerns that outweigh eve…

(Click here for some earlier related posts.) It’s about damned time: … If I died right now it’d take ‘em a week to get the big grin off my face. I’ll fetch a rope, you go find a tree! Happy New Year, people!

Kessler said said a “whistle blower” in an intelligence situation should go to the intelligence committees and to the inspector general (?) and he says that is exactly what Bush did.

Kessler is very interesting. It’s on FOX.

I suppose we have to have this debate, but I wish it were being done secretly and not becoming a partisan football. But maybe if it is public, we will see who the terrorists’ 5th column are.

The publicity will work in Bush’s favor, but it may also give our enemies clues.

My son was in Manhattan on 9-11. My husband was in D.C.
The plane that hit the Pentagon went right by my window at work.
We all heard it. I can never forget it, and I never want to go through that again.

I don’t feel like the government will violate my rights with these NSA technologies. I think they would still have to turn over anything to the FBI who would then have to investigate and make a case.

On some issues, I am moderate to liberal, but I don’t trust the leaders of the Democratic Party. I don’t think they care about my freedom and security. In fact, I wonder why the leaders are destroying the Party by embracing the ACLU agenda, which is really wanting to give the terrorists a free reign in our country.

I was really put off by the arrogant Joe Wilson and others who supported him.

I think this NSA is mostly used to determine people who should be looked at more because they might be planning some violence.

They aren’t just going after dissenters. They are going after terrorists. Bush is worried about another 9-11, not nonviolent political critics.

The Harvard professor’s article was reasonable.
