There was absolutely no reason to not follow FISA unless they didn't want anyone to know who they were snooping on.
I'm not sure that's correct. It was arrogance, just arrogance. We don't have to. Make us. Playground stuff.
There had better be a special prosecutor (Fitz ?) assigned to this. No more whitewash.
FISA - the court that never saw a warrant they didn't like.
Thanks, George! A shiny, new gift-wrapped scandal for the holiday season.
That's right, I said HOLIDAY season.
Does this mean we can add Bolton to the Hague-bound frog-march?
More generally, Newsweek reports that from January 2004 to May 2005, the NSA supplied intercepts and names of 10,000 U.S. citizens to policy-makers at many departments, other U.S. intelligence services, and law enforcement agencies."
OFMG. Whew! They shore has been busy.
That's right, I said HOLIDAY season.
Careful!
O'Reilly might send you a Christmas card for that! And THAT'LL show YOU!
Good god. I stop reading the site for a week, and when I get back, the trolls are WAY dumber. What has gotten into them?
I was going to do a parody troll, but my heart just isn't in it. Will THIS be enough? Was anything else? Can anything be? No. Just a speedbump on the road to oblivion.

Wait up!!!
Two in a row? I can't run that fast.
so how many scandals is the Bush Junta invovled in?
i've lost count!

It was both. They were going to prove they could spy on whover they wanted...and they wanted to so that they could spy on people they'd never get warrants for.

Religious McDonald's Sign Draws Attention In Raleigh
Woman Asks Restaurant To Remove Sign, 'Jesus Is The Reason For The Season'
POSTED: 7:16 am EST December 14, 2005
UPDATED: 10:25 am EST December 14, 2005
RALEIGH, N.C. -- Everyone celebrates religion and holidays in their own individual ways, but currently there are questions about whether the two should be more connected. One of the latest places involved in the controversy is a McDonald's restaurant in Raleigh.
Discussion: Christmas vs. Holiday Controversy
The sign at McDonald's on the corner of Falls of Neuse and Spring Forest Road reads: "Merry Christmas, Jesus is the Reason for the Season." It is a holiday message that Amanda Alpert thinks comes on a little too strongly.
"It offends me because it specifically talks about Jesus, Merry Christmas. It doesn't give credit to anyone else," Alpert said.
Alpert called the McDonald's corporate office in Atlanta and requested that the sign be changed to the politically correct Happy Holidays. The response was the owner has the right to do what she wants with the sign.
"I care because I'm Jewish, and the reason for the season is upsetting to me," Alpert said.
None of the drivers WRAL spoke to were offended by the sign.
"I've always known it to be Merry Christmas, and it is Jesus' birthday," said Tom David of Smithfield.
It's a debate that's struck a chord nationally and locally. The White House Christmas card surprised some with its "Happy Holiday Season" message. A proposed nativity scene in Raleigh recently drew a crowd at council chambers.
McDonald's managers say the sign has been good for business. They say church groups have stopped by to eat, and some people who usually don't eat food from McDonald's have stopped by because of the sign. The store's owner did not return WRAL's calls.
To be fair, Susie was on this yesterday. But I'm glad it's getting wider play.
the NSA supplied intercepts and names of 10,000 U.S. citizens to policy-makers at many departments, other U.S. intelligence services, and law enforcement agencies."
Now we know where the "no fly list" came from.
How many members of Congress on that list?
Absolutely correct. Given the fact that indeed the FISA court hasn't yet disallowed a secret warrant, to by-pass it looks either reckless or criminal. Or both. Just doesn't seem to be a lot of other options here.
Shrub really is just too g-d stupid to be out alone, ain't he? Karl tried to tell us.
They've been sniffing panties again. They just don't want Momma Cheney to know.
Shinobi,
I once complained to a McDonald's where this woman had her two year old handing out Chick tracts. They did nothing about it, of course.
so how many scandals is the Bush Junta invovled in?
i've lost count!
Moonbootica, Yule-ologist
No reason to try counting. By the time you figure it out, they'll have added two or three more.
This is a regime that has something to hide from the civilized world.
--GW Bush, 1/29/2002, on why Iraq had to be attacked
Personally, I don't think there's one filthy thing in this administration that Bolton's not in up to his moustache.
Obviously one scandal is not going to bring BushCo down, but he is dying a death of a thousand cuts. Every scandal builds on the last one and he seems less and less credible. Only the truly moronic, goosestepping sheep remain with him now and even some of them are starting to come to their senses.
It was both.
Granted. Let's not forget, too, that this administration isn't known for its ability to dot the "i's" and cross the "t's", either. ALl part of the essential immaturity.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES HAS ADMITTED TO A FEDERAL CRIME.
I want to know which Republican Congressmen, civic officials, pundits, and so called "moral authorities" support a criminal.
Release the names. Let people see the dangerous terrorists out there. Folks like friends, relatives and co-workers.
Bush: Done, ruined and fucked.

Every pyramid needs a foundation stone. And this admission of crime by George W. Bush is that stone.
How many members of Congress on that list?

And what percentage have 'D' after their name?
Praise Jeebus for Dear Leader's strength and fortitude. He slaps us down, with His manifest beneficence, for our own good. We are the dachshund to his Jimbo Dobson, and we shall learn our lesson, just as soon as we fininsh humping the couch pillows.
That's Freedomocracy™.
Hmm, and I thought the Plame debacle was the thing that was going to bring this administration down.
So many presents under the Fitzmas tree this year, I don't know which one to open first.

AHEM
i been sayin' since way back when that the key to the Valerie Plame thing is in Bolton's using NSA intercepts to track political enemies of the regime, in which class Joe Wilson found himself when he went public...

So, let me get this straight. It's going to be national fucking news every time somebody complains about a fucking "Merry Christmas" or "I Love Jeebus" sign somewhere?
These are the thin reeds the "War On Christmas" hangs on.
I trust the fitz like skywalker trusts the force.

Who has been spied upon (for pecadillos, blow jobs, etc.) and who is in pocket?
Happy Jesusitmas?

Will mom let us open that one early -- on xmas eve?
Okay, which of the cats took the colon separator this time?
The question is, if they wanted to spy on people illegally, why didn't they just do it? Nixon didn't issue an executive order to start Watergate in motion. I think they really did want to use 9/11 to set a precedent: the president can do anything he wants to do.

But it does relate to a recent article about Jews starting to fear the fundies.

My tape player in my car is messed up, so I was listening to the radio during my commute this week. I was looking for NPR. First on the news was the gaggle, which was a bit strange tone-wise, like the reporter thought Scottie was doing a greatjob. Then a report about a kid at UW-Madison who was prevented from holding a bible study group in his dorm room.
About then, I fugured out that I had fundie news on, not NPR.
all i can say is 'wow.'
a symmetrical word.
so is this the straw that breaks the camel's back?
are there 10,000 americans with suspected links to international terror.
or did somebody want to know something about somebody else they could use against them?
'sleeping with O'Connor's sister again Senator?'
'now what was that you wanted to discuss?'
'I didn't think so.'
Is any of this shit really a surprise to people here?
I mean , we have all known from that day in 200 when they stole the election just how evil these people are. Anything is acceptable to them. Laws are for the little people.
And as each outrage is revealed, the nuts on the right defend the latest crime. If he was to drop a nuke on New York or California, you can bet some idiot would say…”had to be done, the president is a Christian, and I believe him”
so will we soon have another story about the capture of Al Queada's #3?
Moonbootica, Yule-ologist
Al Qaida gets all the good news.
The question is, if they wanted to spy on people illegally, why didn't they just do it? Nixon didn't issue an executive order to start Watergate in motion.
There are fundamental differences between Nixon and Bush.
Nixon: "I think the American people have the right to know whether or not their President is a crook. And I am not a crook!!"
Bush: "I AM a crook!! Federal law means nothing to me. I admit I broke the law!!"

Are you writing lyrics to country songs now?
I might as well. I used to have someone share my office who listened to them all day long. I realized that the music stinks and the lyrics more than reek.
Ok, so the White House's position is that anything the president chooses to do is by definition legal.
So, by extension, it would also be legal for him to order hits on citizens who criticize him or cause problems for his regime, right? I mean, that's what they are saying: the president can do anything he wants, short of receiving a blow job from a woman who isn't his wife, and it's ok, because he's the president.
Tell me again - why do we have an oath of office, a congress, or for that matter, a constitution?

Nope. I'm going to bet his RA had issues with him gathering a student group in a dorm room. (The report didn't say this, of course, but I know a bit about how colleges work.) I'll bet if he organized a student group and got a classroom, he'd have been fine. But they were looking for oppression.

any background data on a woman in a 'southern' state willing to have her name published for every nutbar to harass?
maybe a setup?
or the advance guard of a militant organization committed to rebuilding Herod's temple at the Cleveland ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME or even worse the CRYSTAL CATHEDRAL?
hmmm.......
Ok, so the White House's position is that anything the president chooses to do is by definition legal.
Incidentally, this is the second part of the plan. The first, I do believe, was when Shrub declared that the military title C-in-C - CINC or Commander in Chief, say of the Pacific or European theatre or whatever - was to be used only by the President.
Let's see. Civilian. Military. One more and we have a Trinity. Not that I would in any way blaspheme the Holy Spirit, 'cause we all know what that one does. But Shrub looks well on his way.
Thanks, Halfdan! Did I mention she's 5'10"?
We still don't know who he was looking at and what information was contained in those intercepts. More importantly, were they legally obtained?

Is there a class action suit out there? If you are spied on they owe you either $1000 or $100/day whichever is higher. I hope they were listening to me, hope they have been doing it every day for the last five years.

Nope. I'm going to bet his RA had issues with him gathering a student group in a dorm room. (The report didn't say this, of course, but I know a bit about how colleges work.) I'll bet if he organized a student group and got a classroom, he'd have been fine. But they were looking for oppression.

Sen. Lott Weighing Re-Election Campaign
1 hour, 23 minutes ago
GULFPORT, Miss. - U.S. Sen. Trent Lott (news, bio, voting record) says personal losses he suffered because of Hurricane Katrina will weigh on his decision whether to run for re-election in 2006.
ADVERTISEMENT
The Mississippi Republican lost his waterfront home in Pascagoula during the Aug. 29 storm.
"It was about half my net worth. I have a $400,000 loss after the flood insurance," the former Senate majority leader said.
"From a personal standpoint, I need a little more income. But the people I care most about, those on the coast, are hurting and need help," he said.
snip
The senator said his family is divided over his running again.
Another consideration, he said, is that he is "so disappointed with the (Bush) administration's response to this disaster that I'm almost embarrassed."
etc.
----
There are many worse R's in Congress than Lott. I'd dearly love to see Mike Moore in his slot, but Pickering would be worse than Lott.

George W. Bush could Diebold every poll and break every law in the land. He could force the news networks, at gunpoint, to praise his name every day.
He could round us up, harass us, imprison us, even kill us.
But he will not only never HAVE an ounce of our respect, he will not DESERVE any of it. He forfeited his right to it in his craven defense of a felony. He deserves not any of our respect, and not any other human being's who lives on the face of this earth.

What is it going to get Congress to sit up, take notice, listen, and do their job? When will they start conducting oversight of the Executive branch. Bi-partisian committees and/or independent counsulers...do whatever it takes to get to the "truth" so the people they represent have some assurances the country hasn't been hyjacked?

Pere Ubu
Martin didn't want to be outdone by Eddie Murphy and Ice Cube.
Got into an argument with a wingnut neighbor. I brought this up in response to his comments that there was no time to get the warrants normally. I informed him that there were provisions in the law that allowed them to start the wiretap and other methods while the warrant was being typed up and efforts were made to get it in front of the judge. Thus they could be conducting the tap while the judge was reviewing it. He asked me what the worth is then of bothering if they can just do it without the warrant. I shook my head a bit which pissed him off and replied that if the judge found the warrant request unjustified then by rejecting it the NSA would have to cease their efforts in spying on whoever was the target of the warrant.
He tried arguing about it for a while suggesting that the war on terror was a different kind of war and needed different kinds of rules. I said sure, but if that is truly the case then why didn't they go to their republican congressmen and try to have the law amended to reflect these new realities? This way it is done nice and legal, and those who might oppose it are given a chance to voice their concerns and put protections and safeties into the new rules so that it can't be too easily abused.
He still kept on about how my way would hamper the president's ability to stop the terrorists. I chose not to get into it any further aside from saying that there were only two reasons for why they did this.
1. They think they are above the law and as part of Cheney's and PNAC's stated goals one of the areas they wanted to change was domestic surveilance which proves they wanted to do this well before entering office and why would they do that?
2. They wanted to spy on people for political purposes and knew they could never get a warrant for it so they went around it.
Suffice to say we don't get along too well. I didn't even want to talk to the guy cause it was getting cold out. I was only out there to get the mail anyway. If he hadn't walked up and start talking I would never have bothered.
The man and his family are sheep. Fraidy cat sheep.
