Nixon: We can kill these people with this. "Knowingly publishing stolen goods." That's what the Times is doing. "Knowingly publishing stolen goods." "Giving aid and comfort to the enemy."

A question for the gallery, related to something Rohrabacher kept saying in the transcript posted below. How many Americans died in the 9/11 attacks? Three thousand is the typical answer, but I recall on the day of the attacks there was mention that many people of other nationalities were killed as well, for a total of 3,000.
Anyhow, I've googled it and can't find an answer. If anyone knows, or can point me to a website, I'd be grateful.

Congressional authority to investigate is concomitant with its authority to legislate. It is necessary, then, to have unfettered access to executive branch information in order to be able to make sound legislative judgments. It is exactly the `uncoordinated,' `deliberative,' `internal,' and `pre-decisional' documents of an agency that Congress needs in most cases. These documents can provide unique insights into the full spectrum of thought on any given issue pending before an agency and Congress. Without access to such documents, Congress would be left only with the `spin' the executive branch agency opted to provide to the legislative branch. This result, without question, would only serve to undermine the legitimate authority of Congress to conduct independent oversight.

This little pissant has come as close as anyone has in 200+ yrs to ruining the dream our founding fathers had. And, he may yet succeed. The raw power of the privileged and the wealthy are tireless in their desire to return us to the feudal system.

Which makes it pretty clear they were using this to do more than they are letting on.

Anyone interested in the Bolivian Presidential election tomorrow?
Here's a snip from the end of the article:
As the sun sets against the serrated peaks of Villa Fatima, the rock trio give voice to the anger and expectation that will make managing Bolivia such a tightrope-walk for their hero. The singer grabs the microphone and screams: "The place to eradicate coca is in the noses of those gringo sons of bitches!"
" Why didn't they start looking into it a year ago?
Because then it lacked any political value"
Agent, I would have to disagree on that for the simple fact this issue is a killer for them. Are you saying my basic understanding of events is correct or close then? Becasue if Bush is bouncing the leak will be investigated meme, it comes down to a simple question, to simple to avoid. Why the fuck Mr. President didn't your people look into it instead of now? Basic competency is involved as well as desire to perform duties in an upfront manner. I am hashing this up damnit, but basically, Why now versus earlier Mr. President?

The political value is as a catalyst for ratcheting up more of the treasonous liberals crap. Bush doesn't care who leaked this. They may already know.
There won't be any investigation but a whole lot of NYT liberal media bashing. They had to wait for the NYT to play its hand. Now send your hacks out to vilify the Times.

They had the tools to do it all legally but didn't, and it doesn't make sense why they wouldn't unless they deliberately went outside the FISA system in place because they didn't want FISA to know what they were doing.
No, IMHO, they did it just to prove that they could. They want the preznitcy - the so-called *executive branch* to be completely without oversight. They want to trump everything.
The country is at perpetual war, so the preznit becomes, in effect, KING/EMPEROR.

This is exactly what I've been saying all day. FISA was set up to let the gubmint do EXACTLY what the Bushies are saying they had to do -- secretly monitor *evil* people that couldn't be investigated in the normal manner. The only reason you wouldn't use FISA to do EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS FUCKING DESIGNED TO DO, is because that's not what you're really doing.
You're monitoring people you have no fucking business monitoring and the FISA court would tell you to go fuck yourself.

You've forgotten who "broke" the DUI story...it was FOXNews. It was planted to make the Democrats appear desperately trying to sling dirt at Bush at the last minute over something that happened 25 years earlier.
It is becoming increasingly evident that the GOP desires nothing less than the suspension of the constitution, a one party state and the end of democracy in the United States. All that stuff just gets in their way.

Ronald Reagan said, "I know it's hard to understand, but sometimes painful things like this happen. It's all part of the process of exploration and discovery. It's all part of taking a chance and expanding man's horizons. The future doesn't belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave. The Challenger crew was pulling us into the future, and we'll continue to follow them.
"I've always had great faith in and respect for our space program. And what happened today does nothing to diminish it. We don't hide our space program. We don't keep secrets and cover things up. We do it all up front and in public. That's the way freedom is, and we wouldn't change it for a minute."

Agents' visit chills UMass Dartmouth senior
By AARON NICODEMUS
NEW BEDFORD -- A senior at UMass Dartmouth was visited by federal agents two months ago, after he requested a copy of Mao Tse-Tung's tome on Communism called "The Little Red Book."
Two history professors at UMass Dartmouth, Brian Glyn Williams and Robert Pontbriand, said the student told them he requested the book through the UMass Dartmouth library's interlibrary loan program.
The student, who was completing a research paper on Communism for Professor Pontbriand's class on fascism and totalitarianism, filled out a form for the request, leaving his name, address, phone number and Social Security number. He was later visited at his parents' home in New Bedford by two agents of the Department of Homeland Security, the professors said.
The professors said the student was told by the agents that the book is on a "watch list," and that his background, which included significant time abroad, triggered them to investigate the student further.
"I tell my students to go to the direct source, and so he asked for the official Peking version of the book," Professor Pontbriand said. "Apparently, the Department of Homeland Security is monitoring inter-library loans, because that's what triggered the visit, as I understand it."
Although The Standard-Times knows the name of the student, he is not coming forward because he fears repercussions should his name become public. He has not spoken to The Standard-Times.
The professors had been asked to comment on a report that President Bush had authorized the National Security Agency to spy on as many as 500 people at any given time since 2002 in this country.
The eavesdropping was apparently done without warrants.
The Little Red Book, is a collection of quotations and speech excerpts from Chinese leader Mao Tse-Tung.
In the 1950s and '60s, during the Cultural Revolution in China, it was required reading. Although there are abridged versions available, the student asked for a version translated directly from the original book.
The student told Professor Pontbriand and Dr. Williams that the Homeland Security agents told him the book was on a "watch list." They brought the book with them, but did not leave it with the student, the professors said.
Dr. Williams said in his research, he regularly contacts people in Afghanistan, Chechnya and other Muslim hot spots, and suspects that some of his calls are monitored.
"My instinct is that there is a lot more monitoring than we think," he said.
Dr. Williams said he had been planning to offer a course on terrorism next semester, but is reconsidering, because it might put his students at risk.
"I shudder to think of all the students I've had monitoring al-Qaeda Web sites, what the government must think of that," he said. "Mao Tse-Tung is completely harmless.

well, not "anything he wanted." that's overstating it, and that isn't easy to do.
but not secret surveillence of US citizens. it only had provisions to make it easier. so again, why circumvent those provisions?
that's why the "list" is so important. not that he spied, but who he spied ON. face it, he could have gotten warrents on ANYONE he wanted to. there is just no reason to avoid it, except for the purpose of avoidance.

I can understand the general public that rely on the mass media and barely follow politics anyway not quite getting what BushCo are doing.

Well, I was posting on a dead thread...
Speaking of the War on Xmas, gotta kick out of this:
A group of religious protesters demonstrated outside a Wal-Mart superstore Saturday, hoping to turn away customers by calling attention to the retailer's decision to use "happy holidays" rather than "merry Christmas" in its seasonal advertising.
But even shoppers who agreed with the protesters weren't willing to interrupt their quest for holiday deals.
"I believe in Christ, and I don't like the use of 'xmas' or the use of 'happy holidays,'" said Steven Van Noy, 39, as he left the store loaded down with packages. "The bottom line is that they had what I needed at Wal-Mart, so I went to Wal-Mart to buy it."
Shorter moronic brownshirt fuck: Jesus is great and all, but I dearly love my cheap plastic crap assembled by Chinese slave labor!
(BTW, did I mention I won't patronize any store that doesn't greet me with a hearty "Io, Saturnalia"? A man's gotta have his principles...)

I hope you'll be well.
I felt well enough to drive up to Missoula today with my wife and wander around a bunch of stores. I was feeling a bit wimpy for a bit, but a tall smoothie from Orange julius, brought me enough liquid and fruit to make the rest of the day enjoyable. Actually even when I was in the hospital, all of the indications beside the wbc indicated that I was just being a slacker. The nurses noted that except for when I was sleeping I was trundling around the hospital with my slippers and the so elegant tie in the back hospital gown.

nixon was an evil old fuck, but he did champion some good environmental initiatives, and break the china barrier. his motives may have sucked, but they were good things to do.
One other item. He proposed (though it was shot down by the Congress) a national health care insurance system.
In some senses Nixon was as HST said "so crooked that he had to be screwed him into his pants in the morning"
But in some ways in spite of his evil nature, he wanted to do good.

publishing the fact that Bush has decided he can spy on people without warrants is going to damage national security even though we already had a very public policy which allowed us to do the same by getting a warrant which didn't even have to really be gotten until 72 hours after the spying began?
That's right, since there's only a 99.9% chance (literally) that the FISA court will approve the after-the-fact warrant. King George can have no impediments, however trivial, to his desire to do whatever the fuck he wants -- the Constitution, laws, and treaties be damned.

Anyone -- anyone -- who says that it's OK for Bush to authorize these wire-taps is basically saying that, depending on the person in charge, the situation, how they feel, they are willing to dispense with the rule of law. They are willing to subject themselves to a dictatorship because they feel OK about it.
As Benjamin Franklin said, "Anyone who trades liberty for security deserves neither liberty nor security."
These people either have lost or never had any commitment to the principles underlying the American approach to government. They don't speak for me, and they certainly don't speak for "the national interest".

Josh Marshall has the statistics on the FISA court's rubber-stamping ways:
Recall that Bush said in 2000 that it would be easier if we had a dictatorship, as long as he was the dictator. He's trying to set up exactly that system of government.

The Swan Song of J. Q. Public
S’io credesse che mia risposta fosse
A persona che mai tornasse al mondo,
Questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.
Ma perciocche giammai di questo fondo
Non torno vivo alcun, s’i’odo il vero,
Senza tema d’infamia ti rispondo.
Let us go then,
you and I
To that green room in the sky
Where Carson's guests with trembling hand
Await the sound of Severin's band.
On the House floor
the pages come and go
talking of Duke the Cunning Ho'...
Do I dare? and Do I dare?
Do I dare to say, "Impeach?"
No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;
Am an attendant lord, one that will do
To swell a progress, start a scene or two,
Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,
Deferential, glad to be of use,
Politic, cautious, and meticulous;
Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;
At times, indeed, almost ridiculous—
Almost, at times, the Fool.
My name is Bill Keller, and I approve this message.
Apologies to T.S. Eliot.

what must it be like to know that nearly every instinct you have is wrong and yet you persist in leading with your peanut
Warrants can easily be obtained to spy on communications. They don't even have to be obtained BEFORE the spying starts. As long as they are obtained within 72 hours of the spying, the spying is legal.
So why did Bush authorize illegal spying? Because he is tinpot tyrant who believes that he can do whatever the hell he wants. And damn the law and the Goddam Constitution (it is just a goddam piece of paper).
So, you see, Cog the moron, the NYT did not reveal anything that we did not know about spying WITH warrants. They just revealed that Bush committed an impeachable crime by promoting ILLEGAL spying. How that threatens our national security, I do not know.
Bush is a liar, a crook, and an incompetent, and a fascist dictator. Impeach him!

I know, Zubaydah should have the benefits of everything the American legal system can afford him. An American listed in his cellphone, caught as a direct result of the spying Bush authorized?
Nothing to see here, move along.
Fire Bush, although I would be more happy if Rumsfeld and Cheney left. But the Atrios/Kos policy of fighting a war against this non-state entity is a recipe for disaster.
If Atrios takes one incident at Guantanemo, distorts and mischaractizes to the point of absurdity, uses that distortion to discredit the entire US military, and then goes on a 3 week Hitler/Stalin accusation binge, now we should take his foreign and domestic commentary seriously?
Wrong. What you can not see, probably because you are blinded by Bush hatred, is that such exaggerations and distortions discredit any real criticisms, and real discussion of the many grave mistakes Bush and his administration have made.
