Tin Hat time for illegal wire taps.
1. Before 9-11 the FBI was told to stop all investigating of bin Ladin and al Qaeda. The main terrorist investigator was set up and fired.
2. After 9-11 where they said the FBI and the CIA weren't doing as well as they should, they sent the FBI to go after prostitutes and/or porn in New Orleans was it?
3. Ever since 9-11, * has sent the FBI off to investigate any public anti-* comment or art display.
4. Now here's an intersting article about the illegal wire tapping:
"So what you have is a legal, warrantless search of a single identified individual (Ames) who posed a serious threat to the nation, versus illegal, warrantless wiretaps on thousands of Americans who posed no threat whatsoever. The New York Times reported last week that in this illegal program, the National Security Agency sent the FBI a "flood" of telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and names that "required hundreds of agents to check out thousands of tips a month." Of those, "virtually all led to dead ends or innocent Americans," officials told the Times. This entire operation resulted in hundreds of agents being pulled away from more promising investigations into terrorism."

from http://www.startribune.com/561/story/196015.html

So my dot connecting says that * doesn't really want the FBI to do anything. Again, it's like he's protesting the terrorist that did 9-11. He always seems to be protesting them.

1. Getting scary because you're right
There is a connection and it's not making me feel ANY safer whatsoever, just more afraid -- but not of terrorism but of my own government.

WHEN WILL THIS COUNTRY WAKE THE F*** UP??? Put down the Koolaid and have some f***ing coffee, patriots!!! Whatever happened to the "Land of the Free and the Home of the BRAVE"??????

He certainly does what they want.

And they helped him out immensely (Bush's number after 9/11)....
