Bush is distorting the issue of spying on Americans...

[kentuck]

He says, "If al Qaeda is communicating with someone in this country, we want to know why..." Uh, yeah? Doesn't everyone? But that is not the issue. The issue is whether or not Mr Bush has been spying on average Americans or political opponents? How can we ever know if there is no oversight? Are we supposed to simply trust him? Like we did when he said there were WMDs in Iraq? And other lies too numerous to mention. He shouldn't be permitted to twist his law-breaking into such a rationale. As if nobody but him wants to know if al Qaeda is calling into this country. The law is the law, butthole, and you are not above it.

1. this is a surprise?

Too many people here expected a rational, honest response from the Bushistas. Too wrong!. They care not one wit about the truth. Power is everything. They will say and do anything to maintain it.

2. Like Bush calling FISA the "old law"

as if it was no longer in use. Words crafted for deception.

3. Mike Malloy was saying, 'Hey murder has been illegal even longer;

Can I claim as a defense that it is old and irrelevant if I go kill someone?' Or words to that effect. Best response I've heard.
