YEE Ha!!!!
Are you actually asking trolls to be rational? Good Luck
OK... um, we're fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them here?
Also, Michael Moore is fat, so it's alright.
Uh, freedom is on the march, and uh, it damages our ability to monitor islamofascists, and uh, uh, uh ....
Oh, Atrios. You know they don't come out in the sunlight.
Duuuuhhhhhhhh. Huh? Mee no smart. Boosh Ruulzz!
...that's all I got. I'll leave the rest to the real trolls.
Well, we can be pretty sure this thread will be trool free.
Because they hate our freedom.

I was going to have a crack at it, you know, slip into right wing caricature mode? But these days the acting is a little too disturbing.
Have I mentioned "Eschaton, the Movie"
being shot even as we speak on New Orleans.
the story is about gods coming to earth to duke it out...
dunno who wins...
Um...
gimme a sec...

Because now they're gonna use different kinds of telephones!
There, I've run circles round you logically!
Don't expect any rationality from douchebags like this.
Umm, I think this is the prime example of the fact that our entire culture is suffering from battered-spouse syndrome. Don't talk about it and it doesn't exist. And for God's sake, don't let the neighbors know.
Bonne Annee, mes amis!!!

9/11 Changed everything.
the president is my friend. You said bad things about him. the president also is a christian and christians have christ to lead them not bill Clenton.
The president cares about us like jesus dos and has our safty in hismind when he did this. Weer at war. we need to do this to catch demacrats who want osama ben laden to win.
sallyh!!!
Welcome home.
How was la belle France?
Because the President wants to protect us from terrorists this time.
9/11 changed everything.
That is their excuse.

Because we want to lull the Terrists into a False Sense of Security, that we are so Full of Freedom that they can do whatever they want and then they will slip up and we will learn their Nefarious Islamofascist Plot in time for Dear Leader to be briefed in a PDB and personally torture the details out of the Terrible Swarthy Infidels and avert the Mushroom Smoke.

Explain to me, in your best wingnutnese, how exactly it damages national security to reveal the fact that we spy on people without secret warrants
Get a clue Atrios, al qaeda has agents in FISA.
What's really bad is the fact that we have an evil opponent who wants to blow us up and that six months after 3,000 of our American citizens were slaughtered right in front of our eyes, that we were confronted with this challenge. I'm really sorry that we have this kind of evil enemy that wants to slaughter us, but I'm very happy that we have a president that, six months after they slaughtered 3,000 of our citizens, he decided to follow up on a lead that was given to our people by breaking up an al Qaeda cell in Pakistan, and followed through on that to make sure that there wasn't another imminent attack, and thus probably saving many thousands of American lives. We can be proud of President Bush for protecting us.
the terrorists hate our freedom so the president must take it away for our own good
Ooo. Ooo. Ooo.
It damages national security because Freedom Isn't Free! The Islamofascists Hate Us For Our Freedom! To Make An Omlet You Have To Break A Few Eggs!
Do we need more?
it's not like they didn't telegraph what they were up to with the TIA thingy. Besides when they wanted to spy on the UN deligates, and Opposition campaigns they couldn't allow the court to turn them down.
It's all over compensation because they ignored Hart-Rudman, and 35+ PDB's telling them what was going to happen on 9-11.
YOUR ALL LOOSER POOPYHEADS!
Sorry, I panicked.
Better yet, explain why an investigation into the leak is starting now, instead of a year ago.
Why wait a year, and then decide it's a problem worthy of a DOJ investigation?

Flory--I did indeed eat great quantities of fantastic food and drank much lovely French wine! No recipes, but I did ask a boulanger what the secret to French pastry was. Seems they mill their flour differently in France. So I brought some home. Couldn't bring home any French butter, though--it's considered an agricultural product.
Watertiger--we didn't get much snow. Weather was mostly nice, around 5-7 C.
Paris was fantastic, but I've missed you all and am very glad to be back!!!

has Paris ever been less than fantastic? i remember making love in the bois d'boulogne with an english girl named Evalyn at dawn beside a pond where swans honked and swam ...
because as the brilliant john heinelicker explains, the entire government is conspiring aginst chimpy so it would leak out if he got a warrant.

and therefore america is safe without John Kerry as commander in cheef
I'll take a crack at what a wingnut might say.
Disloyal Americans with clean records and no reason whatsoever to become a person of interest to the government who were, nevertheless, contemplating taking part in, or assisting in attacks on America in cahoots with Islamic terrorists abroad will now know not to chit chat about it over the telephone.
We could have smoked these future would be terrorist bastards out of their hiding places (their minds) but that opportunity is gone since these folks will now be more paranoid, knowing that the NSA is now monitoring us all.

It was cold and raining. He got grassstains on his knees. There was thistle around the pond.
And then a duck pooped on his jacket.
It was a lovely experience.
function() = correct, al-qaeda was infiltrated the DOJ and will tip off their fellow Jihadist (using MSM fellow travelers) if they go for a warrant.
NTodd--I've missed the kids. How are they doing?
Ummmm OK let me try....
While the government was constrained, or believed to be constrained, by the rule of law as practiced by the beauracrats in Washington DC, the enemies of the West could feel free to engage in conversations they might feel were unlikely to be intercepted. Now that they know we will not stop at anything, even our own purported laws, they will now be more careful and we could lose information we might otherwise have obtained.

That's the only angle I could envision.

The Bushies, in their preppie arrogance, assume that the enemy, like the American people, are really effin' stupid. Therefore, terrorists planning a secret attack would never suspect that their communications might be monitored until that was revealed by the NYT.
Now anybody who ever even got a whiff of common sense from a distance knows that's bullshit, that the enemy has consistently outsmarted the Bushies - hell, he even held a memo that said "bin Laden determined to strike in US" in August 2005 and didn't even cut his vacation short - but the political message here is not directed at people with common sense. It is directed at true believers who need a straw to grab hold of, anything to refute the ugly truth.
To them, it doesn't matter that the message makes no sense whatsoevr. What matters is that they have a rallying point, a position that paints all who question the infallibilty of God's Chosen Leader as terrorist enablers. The really cynical point here is that Bush himself is gullible enough to believe it and, to his loyal followeres, that gives him credibility. It is about keeping the faith.
NTodd--I believe the phrase is 'Stay on target.'

By tipping off al Qaeda that we're doing exactly what they think we're doing, the terrorists will have already won!
BTW, the most recent chatter is that they will attack us with exploding penguins on the telly.
OK,
The islamofascists realize that using legal secret warrants mean that Bush will need to eventually have a legitimate excuse within 72 hrs under FISA.
Bush, when making important decisions, relies not on pussy studies and advisors, but rather on his gut, a methodology which simply does not fit into the 72 hr legal way.
Eg, Bush thinks some anonymous avg. American, like Padilla, may actually be an islamofascist intent on detroying the republic. Bush knows he is guilty, just cant prove it, not yet at least. It may be that Bush obtains proof of his hunch 85 hrs later, over the 72 hr. limit of FISA.
However Bush's hunch saves the nation. If he had obeyed the current laws the nation would be destroyed.
It was a lovely experience.
flory, Business Manager
Well, it was Paris.
After all.
the spiders from mars hate americas freedom
It is hard work that way.

Gee... it's probably no fun to troll by invitation huh?
DON'T give those assholes a forum!
Just because Congress doesn't specifically give the President the right to do something doesn't mean he doesn't have the right do to do that something. Here's the 9th amendment to the Constitution:
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Just substitute "George W." for "the people" and you can see he can pretty much do anything he wants to.
Here, like this:
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by George W. Bush, the president.
Since George W. Bush, the President, is the representation of the people, it's ok if he wants to do that thing, spying on the bad guys.
I should be a Justice on the Supreme Court or something.
panda nipples?
Or perhaps then we couldn't spy on political dissidents?
NTodd--I've missed the kids. How are they doing?

Either surveillance is warranted or it is not. If it is warranted why make it secret?.
Jeeze, get a clue.
can;t you see
the presidnet must act like stalin to defeat islamofascism
the terrorists hate our freedom so the president must take it away for our own good
This is brilliant. Now, if Bush had admitted that they attacked us because they hated our airbase in Saudi Arabia, then he would have to admit that he eliminated that airbase to appease bin Laden and prevent another attack. But since he claimed the attack was because "they hate our freedoms", then he has to eliminate our freedoms to prevent another attack.
After 3 more years of freedom-losing, bin Laden won't hate us anymore!!
This is clearly the answer to trolling.
Atrios can throw in a gratuitous kweschin just for the trolls in every post, and bingo! They'll stay away in droves.

Okay, worked five minutes on a post,
and it wound up on a dead thread.
Color me egotistical, but I'm
gonna post it again.
The only media elite who ever answered my email was John Gibson, who offered
to debate me on the War On Christmas. He never anwered again, though. Oh,
well.
Apart from blog exchanges with
Crazy Andy Sullivan (which I've
posted here before, and I'm way
proud of) and Doughy Pantload
(a story I'll tell some other time),
the only media elite figure who
ever responded to me was noted
shmuck John Podhoretz.
He took exception to my opinion
that it was Orwellian for Republicans
to refer to offensive missiles
as "Peacekeepers." On the theory
that their warheads would thus
have to be called peaceheads.
He also objected to my characterizing
the Branch Davidians as murderous
theocratic psychos and child abusers
who any fool could have seen would
immolate themselves. He particularly
didin't like when I suggested that
the Davidians shooting first when
the Feds came to arrest them was
perhaps un-American. He didn't agree
that the proper response should have
been to post bail and call their
lawyer.
What a swine.
Thin-skinned, too.
Thanks, all!

Bonfire? I was going to take my creme brulee torch to the shit _in situ_! I've been advised by my insurance company that such an approach will void my policy. Instead, I've been aggressively ignoring the problem today, hoping it will go away.
Even making fun of the trolls, we make more sense than they do!
How else are we going to keep America free if we don't spy on those freedom-hating gay college groups, anti-American Amish anti-war protestors and terrorist-loving grannies? These people are a danger to national security, don't you get it?
We're Republicans and we don't have to explain ourselves to anyone - we're above the law and just go and wrack up some more debt on your credit cards so that Bush can get some good economic numbers, okay?

fat Pudgy says,
"Bush, when making important decisions, relies not on pussy studies and advisors, but rather on his gut, a methodology which simply does not fit into the 72 hr legal way"

After spending the last several weeks in a war-torn land across the Atlantic, I'm just now getting fully caught up on the news. Today, I had the most intense deja vu experience. This is Nixon all over again. The arrogance, the chemical dependency, whispered threats of military coup. I knew history repeated itself, but I didn't think it would happen so soon. I guess they've forgotten just how mean a bunch of us angry liberals can be.
In the words of the great James Osterberg: "It's nineteen sixty-nine, OK, and it's war across the USA"

Secret services say Iran is trying to assemble a nuclear missile
Document seen by Guardian details web of front companies and middlemen
Ian Cobain and Ian Traynor
Wednesday January 4, 2006
The Guardian
The Iranian government has been successfully scouring Europe for the sophisticated equipment needed to develop a nuclear bomb, according to the latest western intelligence assessment of the country's weapons programmes.
Scientists in Tehran are also shopping for parts for a ballistic missile capable of reaching Europe, with "import requests and acquisitions ... registered almost daily", the report seen by the Guardian concludes.
The warning came as Iran raised the stakes in its dispute with the United States and the European Union yesterday by notifying the International Atomic Energy Authority that it intended to resume nuclear fuel research next week. Tehran has refused to rule out a return to attempts at uranium enrichment, the key to the development of a nuclear weapon.

So let me get this straight: It's just before 9/11. Rover runs into the Oval Office to interrupt Bush's bowl of Kix yelling something about Osama Bin Laden on the phone to the ticket counter at Laguardia. "They're gonna drive those jets into the World Trade Center.", he screams. Bush, steely-eyed as ever, finishes chewing 100 times the way his momma beat into him, and says: "Wait, Rover-oo, we can't be sendin' the Fibbies in 'cause we didn't get no warrant. Oh well, turn on CNN, this is gonna be one hell of a show."
Is that about how you see it, Tim m'boy?
Again from The Guardian, not some shitty Murdoch Paper!
"It concludes that Syria and Pakistan have also been buying technology and chemicals needed to develop rocket programmes and to enrich uranium.

"Explain to me, in your best wingnutnese, how exactly it damages national security to reveal the fact that we spy on people without secret warrants instead of the fact that we spy on people with secret warrants?"
The answer is analogous with every other neo con bullsheet answer when explaining why they break the rules....
Falls under the "dog ball" theory.
So in response to why it's important to not need a warrant and why neo cons bypass the law in my best wingnut rhetoric...
As for ignoring the rule of law ?
It's due to the same reason a dog licks his balls..."because they can."

Because now when evil people want to communicate they will say things like:
"Out West, where you vacation, the aspens will already be turning. They turn in clusters, because their roots connect them. Come back to work—and life."
It will take years to figure out what the hell that means - but you can bet your ass it is some seriously fucked up shit.
Aspen - skiing? Snow? -- ah, Cocaine!
Clusters - cluster bombs? terrorist cells?
Roots - Ancestors? Bush family dynasty? Skull & Bones?
"Come" back to work, not "Go" back to work? Does Judith work for the Times or the Administration?
Gee.... it seems to me if he needed a warrant on 9/11 it was too late anyway. The warrant would be needed like when Harriet handed him his PDF and Condi said "Oh, don't worry about that OBL guy. Jeesh, he was Clinton's bitch. Ours is Saddam."
We're fighting fanatics who chop people's heads off and you pussies are worried about a little unwarranted wiretapping?
Get some perspective. Would you rather have your phone tapped, or have your head chopped off? The choice is yours.
9/11 changed everything.
Why do you hate the troops?
Clenis!
Bla-bla-blah, why I've been called a troll more than you've had hot dinners, nubie! Bla-bla-blah.
Doc, was that when he ran to Arkansas?
Because 9/11 changed everything. Also, Bush is a robust executive. Finally, if we don't hand over Social Security, our Homeland will be jeopardized.
George Bush had to act outside the bounds of the so-called "laws" of Congress because Congress is full of homosexual, god-hating, freedom hating, terrorist supporting, traitor Democrats.
We are not a nation of laws; we are a nation of Godly men, as personified by George Bush. Disagreeing with George Bush is hating God and America. It is treason.
The entire collection of disgusting America haters in government should be taken somewhere and made to tell us what we already know; they conspired with evil doers to commit treason.
We do not need these traitors. We know the penalty for treason in War time. We don't need trials, for God, through George Bush has spoken. They should be immediately executed.
There should be only one party and anyone who ever had anything to do with the traitors should be taken somewhere and made to confess their treason. And then executed.
We must preserve freedom and keep it pure by not allowing the unclean to touch it. We must hide it away to keep it safe. All must fear the Jackboot of Freedom. Fear and Terror will keep Freedom and Peace safe.
And then there are the traitorous women who are the source of all evil, according to the Bible. We only need them until God gives us a way of making God Fearing and Obedient Soldiers of God without women.
We have the technical ability to cause the Rapture using nuclear weapons. We could all go to heaven - those of us whom are Chosen - and sit by the hand of God and torture the evil for all eternity.
This is pretty effortless. If you want some more, just ask.

Well, the FISA court is just too much paperwork. We should trust our dear leader, Bush, chosen by God to protect us from terrorists, Democrats, and other enemies of the state. OK, Bush wasn't chosen by God, he was chosen by Rhenquist, who has joined Him on his right hand.

For years activist courts, aided by liberal interest groups like the ACLU, have been quietly working under the veil of the judiciary, like thieves in the night, to rob us of our Christian heritage and our religious freedoms and now even our ability to protect ourselves against Islamic terrorists. Federal judges have systematically grabbed power, usurping the constitutional authority that resides in the other two branches of government and, ultimately, in the American people. Can we put the safety of the nation in the hands of an institution that is leading the assault on traditional marriage?

The key to trolls is to undertstand that everything is a "scenario" with them:
Torture is fine because what if a terrorist had a bomb and would blow it up unless you tortured him.
Warrantless searches are cool because what if you needed to search for a ticking atomic bomb and didn't have time to get a search warrant.
Attacking a country which has no intention of attacking us is fine because what if they had had such an intention. Killing thousands in the process is groovy because what if they had tried to kill us.

Speaking of creepy, I was told today Tom Cruise bought his own personal ultrasound machine to scan the offspring.... I still don't know whether to laugh or be very very scared for that poor girl he married.
Eli--Your panda pic and explanation of cuteness reminded me of a Stephen Jay Gould article of the evolution of Mickey Mouse, who was distinctly more rat-like when first introduced. Over the year his snout got shorter, his body rounder, his eyes bigger, etc--all signs of juvenility.
The word for falsely youthful appearance is "neoteny," and it might be why dogs are generally more like wolf cubs than like wolves.
Humans were willing to tolerate scavenging playful, short-snouted dogs but not the predatory cousins who looked like predators. It's now generally thought that humans didn't domesticate wolves into dogs, but that dogs evolved to look and act like something humans wouldn't kill on sight..
Troll crap is pretty much troll crap.
French butter, though ... Couldn't bring home any French butter, though--it's considered an agricultural product
You can get it this way (you will need a friend who has cattle)
Milk a cow -- an Angus will do; a Jersey or Guernsey is better; avoid Holsteins if possible as their milk is naturally very low in butterfat.
How you do this is approach the cow with some sweet feed; get the cow's head into the stanchion; latch the stanchion; take some water that feels pleasantly warm on your hands and lightly wash the udder. Set the clean empty bucket you want the milk to go into under the udders; grasp a teat in each hand and roll your thumb against your fingers to pull the milk downward, squeezing. It will squirt into the bucket. Be gentle or the cow will kick you into the middle of next Tuesday.
Pour the warm milk thru a Kendall paper filter into a freshly-scalded crock jar. Cover it with wax paper and refrigerate it overnight.
In the morning set the crock on the table. Get a scrupulously clean ladle and dip along one edge, lifting the cream into a clean jar. Leave as much milk behind as possible.
Put the skimmed milk back in the fridge, covered as before. It will taste good and keep well for two or three days, but you are probably not ready for its richness, particularly if you leave a few streaks of the thin bottom cream on the top and stir it back up before drinking.
To make about a pound of butter put about a pint of cream out and let it set overnight at room temperature. It will sour. You should use a churn, but if you don't have one you can use a clean peanut butter or mayo jar with a tight fitting lid.

Lots and lots of croissants. I drank many glasses of French wine, all of which were delicious, and had some awesome champagne on New Year's Eve.
We saw so many things. My favorite place was the Basilique de Saint-Denis, just north of the city. It's one of the oldest churches in the city, and has the tombs of many of the earliest French kings, starting with Clovis.

Shake the sieve or let stand until all dripping stops; cover the top of the butter with plastic wrap and invert the sieve. The butter falls out; you wrap it very tightly and shape it into a block with your hands and keep it in the fridge. This makes sweet unsalted butter.

we could only hope...
You just shouldn't question anything that our President says or does -- that's it. It undermines the morale of the nation, and it undermines the morale of the brave troops who are defending our American way of life against America's enemies. It also hurts his feelings when people accuse him of not caring for America and Americans, and it makes him cry. (Not many people know that it makes him cry, but I know.)
The President knows best, and that is why he was elected to be President by an overwhelming majority of the American people -- by the true American patriots. The President is surrounded by the smartest and wisest people in America, if not the world, and it is their sworn duty to protect this country and to make it safe for all of us -- even those Americans who laugh at the President, or want to see him impeached, or who think that he should go do the bad thing to himself.
There are some people in this country who are trying to expose the President's efforts to protect us from another 9/11, and while they might think that they are smart, they are not. If the President cannot be allowed to operate in absolute secrecy without disloyal lawyers and judges and snoopy members of the Congress always wanting to look over his shoulder and second guess him and accuse him of violating their "rights", the enemies of this country will be able to sweep in and take over while we are all sleeping some night.
The President never violates our "rights", because it is the President who gives us those "rights". The President does not and cannot violate the Constitution, because the Constitution does not apply to the President -- it only applies to those beneath the President. And, in spite of what many people have been led to believe by the Liberal Media, the Constitution is not a set of rules like the Bible -- it is a set of suggestions, and it is not always right. When the Constitution does not serve the moment well, or when it gets in the way of elected officials, those officials are allowed to listen to the President instead, or follow the teachings of the Bible, or both.
Why do people on the street think that they know more than the President? They must know that they can never know more than he does. He goes to secret meetings and hears things that we will never hear. He sees photographs that we will never see. He hears recordings that they will never hear. Why would anyone think that they know, or could know more than this man?
The President does and should control the press in America. The President should be allowed to make the press say things that fool America's enemies, and the press should not fight the President and his staff when they do try to make the press fool the enemies of America -- they should just go along, even if they do not understand why they are being asked to say the things they are being asked to say. More than that, though, the press should never criticize the President or disagree with him or worst of all -- make

Ben, The True American, continued
More than that, though, the press should never criticize the President or disagree with him or worst of all -- make fun of him. We must always present a united face to the world and to our enemies, and presenting that face is one the main duties of the American press.
There is no way to tell things to only the best and most loyal Americans, although I know that the President is working on ways to make this happen. Someday, the President will be able to talk to just his friends and nobody else, and he will be able to tell them secrets without anyone else hearing. One of the ways he will be able to do this will be in big meeting halls which have been created just for this purpose. The enemies of our country will not be able to get into these places, but good and loyal Americans will be able to get in. Some of these meeting halls already exist as very large places of Christian worship, and more of them are going to be built every year. When the time is right, loyalty tests will be given to all Americans, and those Americans who pass these tests will be given a special kind of ID that can never be lost or broken, and this ID will allow these loyal Americans to meet together and hear messages from the President that disloyal Americans and foreign enemies will not be able to hear. When the loyal Americans leave these meetings, they will go into the light and carry out the wishes of the President. (I also believe that someday the President will give us all special listening devices that are implanted in our heads so that he will be able to tell us things anytime, and anywhere. For instance, if the President knows that we are standing next to an enemy of America while we are standing on a street corner waiting for the light to change, he can tell us to push that person in front of a car. Can you imagine a whole country where at least 60% of the people can hear the President anytime and all the time. With the exception of the Rapture, I cannot imagine anything better that could ever happen to us.
If you do not believe in the President, then you do not believe in God, and if you do not believe in God then you do not believe in America.
If you do not believe in America, you should not be allowed to live on the Earth.

Hey LIE-berals: We won WW2. We are the sole superpower.
"Why Atrios, why don't you talk about all the good things that have happened in Iraq?! Why, just today, our boys refurbished, repainted and opened up a school and yesterday women where safe to go out in the streets without being all wrapped up. Why can't you not talk about the soldiers getting killed or coming back wounded as it only demoralizes our armed forces overseas? Who cares if it's only 2000+ dead, that's way less than Vietnam or the battle of D-Day. Support our troops! Why no, I have more important things to do than serve in the army and besides, that's for those "other people".
It's all you nabobs of negitivity that are empowering the enemy. They have to be stopped by any means necessary. First Iraq, then Syria and Iran but not Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan. White phosphorous is NOT a chemical weapon and dropping hundreds of WP fire missions on Iraqis like pouring a broken Denny's salt shaker on a slug is the only way these heathens know. What these terrorist faced at Abu Ghraib was no worse than fraternity prank. All of you should be shipped to Gitmo with them for questioning our president. We found WMDs, Fox News told me so. You should stop trusting the liberal media and all those foreign papers.
Don't you understand, these Moslems are so backward, they can't have a democratic country of their own. Why can't stop badmouthing the Iraq elections and making fun of the Iraqi's purple thumbs? They should know our God Jesus is better than their Allah. All you atheists wouldn't understand, like how all of you don't understand Intelligent Design. Don't you get it, evolution is only a theory! It's like all of you are out to destroy Christmas, with the Islamofascists. Only by having the healing love of Jesus' divine grace hammered through your skulls would you see the light or else we would beat it out of you. Can't you see that it was the women's "liberation" movement that cause so much turmoil in our country, that's why 1 trillion babies are murdered each year by abortionists, why there's sex in video games, and why gays have AIDS. Can't these uppity women folk just settle down with a husband, serve in the kitchen and birth our future Christian soldiers of America. Oh, they should also cover themselves up in robes and shawls when in public. Oh, pornography and extramarital sex are the moral ills of our Christian nation, especially with involving the Clenis and his lesbian witch of a wife. I wouldn't mind a lesbian threesome between Anne and Michelle right now.
Don't you fucking call me a hypocrite? Watch your language. Kerry was a flip-flopper. I was against wiretapping, the militarization of the police, and peacekeeping missions in foreign countries, but 9/11 changed everything. It united us as a country.
I'll laugh at all of you when the Islamofascists take over this country and saw through your fat necks! All of you! Support our troops and OUR PRESIDENT!!!"

Your wingnut fetish is rather moronic, but I will take a stab anyways.
It damages national security in the same way that it did when it was made public that we were tracking Osama via his cellphones. Guess what the result of that "Gotcha Bush" journalism was? You guessed it, no cellphone calls period, hand delivered communications, one time use email addresses. And Atrios is still front and center complaining about where's Osama? Oh, that reminds me. Is Atrios still dodging the question of whether or not he supported the overthrow of the Taliban in Afghanistan?
Back to the present day anti-American Atrios jihad. You keep over generalizing to the point where your claims have no meaning. What damages national security is the line item detail from the NY Times as to sources and methods for tracking known Al Qaeda calls to the U.S.
"Everyone knows terrorists are bad" - Atrios.
So why track them? Nice national security platform moron.
Hit the tip jar so Atrios can make comparisons of the US Military to those of Hitler and Stalin popular again.
Gawd that must have hurt...
Yes, it did.

I don't see why an open debate on the need for warrants leading to a descision by democratic representatives on this would be prejudical to NS either. Do you? If so how?
Cog - One more time:
The real security danger this country faced was the goddamned moron in the WH who ignored totally a goddamned Presidential Briefing Memo titled: Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.
'
What the fuck Atrios could have done about that or what he could have done to save our asses from the terrorists is a fucking mystery. But it is no mystery that your little tin god got 3000 Americans killed because he is a fucking goddamned idiot.
I don't know Cog, are you still dodging all the questions put to you, like for instance your claim that commentators at Atrios are somehow directly encouraging the Iraqi Insurgency, and refusing to provide even ONE link which shows the Iraqi Insurgency even knows about Eschaton?
Still, at least you've stopped pretending to be a Democrat, and ceased using that oh so transparent line of "Thanks for 2004". Not that anyone will actually ever forget your oh so obvious dishonesty, but it's nice to see you've at least learnt enough to drop it by now.
But let's give you another chance to prove your "Intelligence", shall we? Bearing in mind that many of the Mujahadeen which make up present day Al Qaeda has direct experience of working along side the CIA, and using their information to attack the Soviets... and bearing in mind you yourself have just claimed that Al Qaeda now knows the US can listen in on their satellite phone calls... what makes you think that they didn't suspect their land line calls might be tapped until the New York Times reported upon it?
Take your time, Cog... Bonus points if you manage to avoid any references at all to the most famous political scandal of all time, film noir cliches, and Holywood Deus Ex Machina... Which you'll have to do to posit the blissful state of ignorance needed for your claims to have any real world relevance at all.
You wingnut.
"I don't know Cog, are you still dodging all the questions put to you, like for instance your claim that commentators at Atrios are somehow directly encouraging the Iraqi Insurgency, and refusing to provide even ONE link which shows the Iraqi Insurgency even knows about Eschaton?"
I love it when people make claims for me. One, I said many arguments from the fringe left were similar to those running at the time in the Arab press. Just flip back to the Atrios/Kos/DU archives from Abu Ghraib or Guantanemo for an example of the "patriotic" anti-American sentiment du jour at the time.
Now that has been boiled down by a few feeble minds into Cog said Al Jazeera reads Atrios. Moron. How can you call administration members liars and not hold yourself to even a modicum of honesty?
I also never heard even the slightest objection to you when Atrios fell off the rails on a 3 week Hitler/Stalin binge. Was it wrong for me to question his support of the U.S. troops after he compared them to those of Hitler and Stalin? I forgot the latest excuse for that. And we all know the morale highground Kos stands on with respect to those killed and mutilated in Iraq.
Like I have said many times, Bush has made an inordinate amount of mistakes, but when you are irresponsible dishonest with your criticism, exaggerating it beyond all believability, you discredit the legitimate criticism based on actual facts.
"Bearing in mind that many of the Mujahadeen which make up present day Al Qaeda has direct experience of working along side the CIA, and using their information to attack the Soviets"
Wrong. At most there are a handful. The CIA paid the Pakistani ISI to facilitate attacks on the Soviets. But why let facts and history get in the way of your theory? Let me guess where it will end up, or is that even really neccessary any more?
"and bearing in mind you yourself have just claimed that Al Qaeda now knows the US can listen in on their satellite phone calls"
Read the fool who just provided a professional translation of all of Osama's speeches. I am sure you are in the publishers target demographic. Skip ahead to his declaration of war against the US, I also recommend his interview where he admitted planning 9-11 [oops, there goes that Jew conspiracy], where he admitted raping his 2nd or 3rd wife when they first met [i forgot which], read the part where Osama joked about the fact that many of the hijackers on 9-11 did not know it was a suicide mission.
As to the damage caused by publishing a report on tracking Osama through his cellphone, do your own research, purchase a day pass for Lexis/Nexis.
"what makes you think that they didn't suspect their land line calls might be tapped until the New York Times reported upon it?"
Hmmm. So let me get this right. We track Osama to Tora Bora through his cellphone, we capture a key Al Qaeda #3 in part through tracking a cellphone to a safe house, and the calls drop off considerably after a report of the successes?
I apologize, it must have been a coincidence.
I have to say though. It would be nice if the administration and/or the U.S. military were blessed with the benefit of the doubt that you so often ascribe to Atrios and to terrorists.
But you support the troops, no doubt. Just like Atrios.
"It damages national security in the same way that it did when it was made public that we were tracking Osama via his cellphones. Guess what the result of that "Gotcha Bush" journalism was? You guessed it, no cellphone calls period, hand delivered communications, one time use email addresses."
No such thing was ever reported. It's what they call a MYTH. Feel free to educate yourself about it here:

Hey Cog-troll.
Who was the scumbag that told the press we were tracking Osamas'cell phones?
Thats right Coggy, another scumbag Republican, Orin Hatch. Thanks for making that point.
I don't see any Democrats destroying ongoing undercover operations to find WMD's. Who might have done that? You guessed right again Coghead. Republicans in the White House and lots of em. Your two for two.
Lets go for the trifecta Cog.
When the George Bush says he needs to Felony wiretap instead of Fisa wiretap because its quicker, is he lying? Yes or no?
C'mon you must have heard the president say we have to be fast. There are terrorists that lurk.
C'mon spit it out.
Yeaaaaa, that's right Clog.
Another scumbag Republican lie.
Um, because it just does, that's all. Because I'm the President, that's why. Because Dick told me it would conversate national secretaries if...um, wait...what was the question again?
Yes, CBS, Time, WashingtonTimes etc all reported on Osama's cellphone. Not sure how that equates to a myth in your eyes.
Or was it a myth that he was confirmed to be in Tora Bora via use of his cellphone?
Was it also a myth that Abu Zubaydah was captured with a combination of cellphone tracking and an informant? Was it a myth that a cellphone trace leading to a safe house resulted in the capture of Ramzi Binalshibh?
And let us look at the "myth" as you described it. The OntheMedia host asked the expert if the reporting forced Osama to turn off his cell phone.
The experts reply? I do not believe Al Qaeda explicitly mentioned the Washington Times arcitle and then turned off their cell phones.
Wow. I guess that trumps the lecture I watched on Al Qaeda's operations in Pakistan. The one the explicitly detailed how they had curtailed cellphone communications in all but extraordinary circumstances, and in those instances used only one time use, throw away cellphones.
Oh, FYI, the same conference also showed video of a huge warehouse of Al Qaeda propaganda material, complete with a dozen or so multiple dvd burners, and professional video editing and compiling materials. On the front of the building, a sign for the MMA. Just thought I would throw that in there.
Bottom line, your statement that it was a myth is either naive or wishful thinking. Combine that with the "gotcha" journalism that only looks for mistakes from this administration, and I do not see how you could argue it is not part of an obvious pattern.
The Washington Times reported it once, so you are wrong. Orin Hatch leaked one detail, you are wrong. That also absolves a significant amount of leaks from Biden et all.
Educate yourself on that biotch.
Oh, and impeach Bush if you want. I don't care. I am a registered Democrat.
Just don't be an ahole like Atrios and compare the US Military to those of Hitler and Stalin, and at least give this administration as much of the benefit of the doubt as you are prepared to afford to the terrorists.
Oh, I am sorry, the glorious freedom fighting resistance.
Get your news from someone other than Atrios or Jon Stewart next time.
The myth was that it was reported (you know, by REPORTERS) that the US government was TRACKING Osama's satellite phone. RIn reality, they only mentioned the fact that Osama POSSESSED and USED such a phone, something that practically amounted to public knowledge.
And the expert's opinion son OTM went further than you acknowledge, theorizing that it was the US government's own targeted missle attacks on Osama that tipped him off to his phone being tracked.
And, at any rate, I don't know why you consider that an example of "Gotcha Bush" journalism, since this apochrophal revelation supposedly took place under Clinton.
I just dropped by to say that I have successfully beat this easily beatable challenge, having explained why the leak was worse than the wiretaps. It's appropriately titled: NY Times Traitorism Explained.
