- So does this mean I’ll have to seek a refund and turn in all my copies of “keyhole”?

- And yet these pinheads think that people will be anxious to vote for them in National elections, watching them finally “discover” America is a nation of laws, and uses law enforcement to make sure all the mis-fits behave. Yes, that could happen…..

- Yesterdays news conferences with exact opposite messages from Schumer and Reid were priceless. The Dembulbs just keep getting kicked in the ass, over and over, by attacking Bush and the WOT, and they keep coming back for more. Brilliant strategy.

- The Dhimmcrabs know all too well that the security/WOT is “The” issue, followed very closely by the Border/immigration mess, which in some ways is very closely related to the WOT thing, and if they caan’t win that, they have no hope of regaing political power. But they took the wrong position from the begginning, and now they don’t know what the hell to do.

- Bush could ratchet up his job approval 30 points Monday night, just by doing what the majority of people want him too. Its that simple. The Donkeys are praying he doesn’t.

And in the 1994 creation of the Communications act, since it wasn’t that tough a decision or controversial, I believe it was a vocal vote. The swimmer, as well as a couple other of the current whiners were in the room (status unknown) at the time, so presumably voted.

andrew, do you even know what the alleged “process” is for obtaining phone records? You’re just, once again, blindly assuming that the manufactured outrage about this administrations activities is de facto true.

Know how you obtain phone records? You ask for them! You do not need a warrant or a court order. If the holder of the records refuses, you can then get a court order to force them to comply or face legal consequences. This should have been done to Qwest.

So what were the phone companies doing with our phone records? Why do they save them and for how long? Can even THEY be trusted with our phone records? And how about credit companies? Can they be trusted with our credit histories? Or the IRS. Can they be trusted with our financial info? Who else has some info on us? Can they be trusted? Or is it only Bush who will engage in some evil plot with our records?

“Nice try jpe. The Communications act of 1994 in fact specifically includes number tracing and such as both lawfull, and a natural part of “public domain” law enforcement, and reinforced earlier legal statutes”

There’s a process for it. It wasn’t followed. Because this is beyond what the laws authorize.

The government may be acting legally in asking. But the Telcos may be exposed to liability for turning it over.

- This morning, no sooner did FOX report an early poll taken overnight that showed 65% of Americans support the NSA program, than Marvin Kalb, the erstwhile hire apparent of that other leftard moonbat Dan Rather, appeared on FOX and gave us 5 minutes of “Well if thats true it will change as soon as Americans understand that NSA is doing all ‘kinds of things, spying throught your private…erm, and looking through your phone information, and other such ‘illegal’ acts”.

- In other words this is one big fat pile of BS, and the only way to keep it going is to just outright lie and drop “sinister” sounding hints of things that don’t exist.

- What amazes me is why FOX keeps trotting these partisan hacks out every day, giving them TV face time, and a platform to spread their “get Bush” lies and propeganda.

- I think they ask the wrong questions in these polls. How about:

- “Do you feel that reporters should get Pulitzer prizes for publishing National secrets that our enemies can use to blow us up.”

The Communications act of 1994 in fact specifically includes number tracing and such as both lawfull, and a natural part of “public domain” law enforcement, and reinforced earlier legal statutes. Slick Willey needed it for “Eschelon”. I’m beginning to think that BDS is a self inflicted desease.

Washington Post: Poll Shows Americans Support NSA Programs

Not a big fan of polls, obviously, so take this for what it’s worth:

A majority of Americans initially support a controversial National Security Agency program to collect information on telephone calls made in the United States in an effort to iden…

beleive there is also a Supreme Court ruling on this, that you do not have a right to privacy of phone records when it comes to data mining

We also have this thing called “Congress.” They pass “laws,” which are binding rules. There are “laws” against this kind of data mining.
