UPDATE: Clarice Feldman has an open letter to AG Gonzales asking for investigation and possible impeachment of the judges who are leaking to the press. END UPDATE Andrew McCarthy is stunned judges are playing partisan games with FISA [h/t Clarice Feldman]: This is eye-popping on several different levels. First of all, judges speaking to the […]

Now, I am sure the vast majority of the judges on the FISC are outstanding and upstanding jurists with patriotic intentions to protect the country and our laws. So I am not expecting a huge outcry from them after the briefing on the NSA process of listening in on communications between known terrorists outside this […]

Bill Gertz at the Washington Times has a story that initially looked interesting when Drudge was teasing it on his site. A former National Security Agency official wants to tell Congress about electronic intelligence programs that he asserts were carried out illegally by the NSA and the Defense Intelligence Agency. Russ Tice, a whistleblower who […]

The NY Times and Washington Post are using leaked documents from Nancy Pelosi to spread supposition and innuendo. First from the NY Times: The National Security Agency acted on its own authority, without a formal directive from President Bush, to expand its domestic surveillance operations in the weeks after the Sept. 11 attacks, according to […]

Clarice Feldman has a ripping post out at The American Thinker which is just fantastic. It’s clear that the New York Times is in big trouble with the announcement that the Department of Justice has launched an investigation into the leaks behind its NASA surveillance story. The investigation is long overdue. The paper had been […]

Great take on the NY Times true motives for their leaks at Shrink Wrapped – they are lashing out at being ignored. Sadly, this is probably true. And an update on SBD’s idea for a class action suite. Dr Sanity is getting lots of emails and comments here (one worth a serious bit of money) […]

I finally figured out why the left fails so often when they try so hard to get Bush. It’s their glee. They can’t hide it. When they say the fact the NSA is doing their job is a major issue, they screw it up by being giddy and happy – instead of concerned. Their lack […]

Seems some attention hungry Senators want to strut and pontificate in front of the country: The chairman of the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee, Arlen Specter, a Pennsylvania Republican, has said he intends to hold hearings into whether the program is legal. … Sen. Richard Lugar, an Indiana Republican who chairs the Foreign Relations Committee, said […]

Updates at the end Are we to expect every day for the foreseeable future political partisans (and let’s be honest here, that is what is motivating these ‘whistleblowers’ – they want democrats in power) will be slowly dismantling our protection mechanisms as they leak to the press? These liberal zealots, and the liberal media comrades, […]

Occassionally sprinkled with liberal perspectives, overall this Newsweek article on the NSA flap is reasonably good!. The talk at the White House in the days and weeks after 9/11 was all about suitcase nukes and germ warfare and surprise decapitation strikes. … The message to White House lawyers from their commander in chief, recalls one […]
