Want to know why the left is losing the debate on NSA? Bush is fighting terrorists who are trying to attack us and the left is fighting a science fiction book. Nuff said.

UPDATE: Check out Clarice Feldman’s take on this topic here. END UPDATE Apparently there is a good chance a Grand Jury will be impaneled to investigate the leaks emanating from the NSA leak in the NY Times – according to the NY Times (Hat Tip Ace of Spades). Federal agents have interviewed officials at several […]

If you want to contemplate how FISA may not work just use the example of the 20 terrorists who escaped from a Yemeni prison recently: An American wanted for allegedly training with the “Lackawanna Six” at an al-Qaida camp was among the 23 men who tunneled out of a Yemeni prison last week, the FBI […]

The Democrats have worked themselves into a really bad position. In their mindless lust to attack George Bush they have begun to attack the powers of the Office of President. The NSA issue is a case in point. As I pointed out before, the NSA is not doing anything different in terms of monitoring the […]

Sorry for the absence folks – lots of meetings. Lots of information has been coming out on the FISA-NSA story which is modifying some of my theories on that may have happened and what is happening. But the revelations are also raising my concern that America is heading towards the re-establishment of the ‘Gorelick Wall’ […]

The news that the CIA (and probably the NSA and DIA as well) are going to find and prosecute the leakers is excellent news. The director of the CIA has launched a major internal probe into media leaks about covert operations. In an agencywide e-mail, Porter Goss blamed “a very small number of people” for […]

For all the bloviating on the left, the Democrats gained nothing on the NSA yesterday. They trotted out a bunch of ‘what if’ tales of woe to no avail. What if a comet kills off all life tomorrow? What if terrorists hit us again? No one wants to live their life in fear. Without a […]

Another challenge to the Democrats: The Executive Branch is willing to work with Congress since the founders established clear roles for both entities – but each needs to respect the others bounds. And the Executive Branch is working under Congressional Authority (AUMF). So Dems are being offered the chance to work together. Gotcha.

It seems the Reps have smelled blood with the hesitation of the Dems to attack the program and simply call to make sure it works as advertised. Biden wondered why the NSA was NOT monitoring Al Qaeda domestic calls in the US (confirming for all but the truly brain dead this is not a domestic […]

I am not going to live blog the hearings, but Biden stepped into it big time. He asked ‘when will the war be over’ and then added ‘we will have no idea when it is over, so we don’t know when we will no longer need the suveillance’. Gonzales offered up in his response that […]
