John Adams Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I'll be wringing my hands over my private life as long the government can eavesdrop on me without a warrant. The administration STILL has no justification for their unconstitutional eavesdropping. None. You can't google my telephone calls. You can't google my personal emails.

You have something to hide? Maybe the good part is is that a few less 50 year olds are chatting with 14 year old girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its more of a police state then anything if that happens, and the ramifications are pretty large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHICAGO — The identities of 2,600 CIA employees and the locations of two dozen of the agency's covert workplaces in the United States can be found easily through Internet searches, according to an investigation by the Chicago Tribune. The newspaper obtained the information from data providers who charge fees for access to public records and reported on its findings in Sunday editions. It did not publish the identities or other details on its searches, citing concern it could endanger the CIA employees. What a crack intelligence service we have. This story is as impressive as the one about "covert" agents checking into hotels under their real names so that they'd qualify for VIP points or whatever (same thing with frequent flyer miles).

Mickey help me out but I think Feingold is correct and is on the floor of the Senate introducing a resolution of cencure of the President for unilaterally breaking the FISA law, claiming executive priviledge, in violation of the National Security Act. If nothing else, this should be a really interesting political fight in the Senate, especially considering that Frist just attempted to deny Feingold the right to introduce this resolution. Naw, can't put Republicans on record acknowledging Bush violated the law. Check out CSPAN now! Seriously, I know it is somewhat off topic...P.S. I agree for once with Silver n Red!

However, that is not to say that there aren't a number of folks that do follow the letter and try to follow the spirit of the law. But man there are a lot of crap heads out there.

As for following the letter, it ALWAYS means an ulterior motive or agenda. People only follow the letter of the law when they can use it against someone. Either that, or they are Barney Fife. Which is also a good example of what I'm talking about. Think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Dick Santorum is in trouble with a lobbyist, had one rent space from his campaign's office building, not sure but sounded like a sublet and also run a Santorum charity! Talk about conflicts of interests....told you he is stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
