Sen. Patrick Leahy made a very strange comment at the end of a segment of Face The Nation yesterday – he basically claimed Bush knew the names of the highjackers before 9-11 and he wanted to get things right this time (paraphrasing). Michelle has the actual words and some commentary on this strange action by […]

Calls for calm by the radical islamists will not do anything. This is clearly a staged event with prepositioned props and manufactured evidence (the extra cartoons defiling the prophet Mohamed created by the Danish Imams). Michelle Malkin highlights the recent stged outrage, mimicking the weeks of rampage seen in France, but now on a global […]

Welcome Powerline Readers: I have to say John Hindraker has the best analogy out there for legal, warrantless searches – airline searches of bags and person. How is it we all missed THAT one! The Washington Post has a new article out today on the NSA ‘issue’ which further confirms my impression of what the […]

Seems all the liberal scandals are unravelling on them. Senator Rockefeller is well know for two things: a memo in 2003 outlining a partisan smear attack on the Bush administration using claims of illegality, and mention in the NY Times story on the NSA program exposed to the terrorists. Seems our highly trained intelligence community […]

On Thursday, February 2, the heads of this nations intelligence agencies testified under oath to Congress that the new media, specifically the Washington Post and New York Times, had damaged our intelligence gathering capabilities. And therefore put us all at higher risk for a successful terrorist attack. CIA Director Porter J. Goss told a Senate […]

Republicans in Congress has a real dilemma. Do they attack their own party’s leader to stop our efforts to monitor possible Al Qaeda plans to attack us? Or do they get back into their box and recognize Article II of the Constitution and the fact we are at war. The Bush administration has decided to […]

I can only imagine the uproar that is going to hit poor Democrat Governor Tom Vilsack for his traiterous comments on the NSA Terrorist Surveillance program. Governor Vilsack has no idea how the liberal hardcore, which makes up nearly 2/3rds of the self described ‘Democrats’, is going to see his comments Gov. Tom Vilsack said […]

In an excellent opinion piece out today Debra Burlingame, widow of 9-11, illustrates why those against the NSA surveillance of terrorists are wrong – dead wrong: NBC News aired an “exclusive” story in 2004 that dramatically recounted how al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar, the San Diego terrorists who would later hijack American Airlines flight 77 and fly […]

Stunning. The consensus of the Chris Mathews panel is the NSA story has been turned to Bush’s advantage and the issue is over. That was a quick surrender.

The Federal Government is a lumbering giant that is impossible to re-direct most of the time. War is one of the few instances where corrections can finally be imposed rapidly. The problem is the changes may spring back to their previous, inept conditions if there is not enough time to establish the new norm. We […]
