Carter did it, Reagan did it, Bush 41 did it, Clinton did it.
Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah...None of them did what this President is doing. But even so, why is it ok now? What sort of defense is "he did it first"?

Which turned out to be true.

For the life of me, I cannot understand why you hate this Country so much, Tal.

Now, would you classify terrorism as just a fear, or a reality? I classify it as a reality.
How does your list justify spying on US citizens without warrents?

Well put.
Hey, did anyone else wince when President Bush said in his State of the Union Address how if he had had the capability to do then what he is doing now, that maybe we (he) could have prevented 9/11? I was livid...I was screaming at my radio (I was unable to watch him on TV). What a pile of horse crap. I cannot stand how this administration continues to use fear tactics to justify their activities. Once again he brings up 9/11 as justification for doing whatever the hell he pleases . and scaring Americans into allowing him to do so. Boils my blood!
First off, they were warned by the outgoing Clinton administration to be on the watch and on guard against Al Qaeda and Osama...but they chose to ignore the advice and instead focus on preventing gays from marrying, and stopping stem cell research.
Second, if the CIA would have simply placed the names of those individuals that attended the meeting in...was it Malaysia?(...the location escapes me right now)...on the terrorist watch list, that would have had a far better chance of preventing 9/11 than any wire tapping of phone conversations.
And lastly, what we are vociferously complaining about is the warrantless wiretaps of U.S. Citizens. We’re not saying that wiretaps should not be allowed. What we are saying is, is that if you’re going to wiretap a citizen of this country, you need to obtain a warrant. I do not believe that any of the 9/11 hijackers were U.S. Citizens, so as I understand it, they (the NSA) could/should have even then been listening in on their conversations anyway. Am I correct on this?
