I am supposed to trust these people? These people are protecting me? These people know who the enemies are? These people have my best interests at heart?

WASHINGTON -- The leaders of the government's intelligence agencies said Thursday they will push for investigations into leaks of classified information and seek to subpoena journalists if necessary to protect national security.

In hearings before the Senate Intelligence Committee, National Intelligence Director John Negroponte agreed with Sen. Christopher Bond, R-Mo., when asked whether newspaper articles disclosing the National Security Agency's secretive domestic spy program and other classified information put the nation at risk.

"I must say that in the nine months that I've been in this job, one of the greatest disappointments that I personally have had is experiencing the degree to which people are willing to talk about classified matters to the public media. And we've got to bring that kind of activity to a stop," Negroponte said.

People "also have the right to know that there are clear rules, that we're still operating under the rule of law, under the Bill of Rights and the Constitution," Feingold said.

Seems like these people are more concerned with their own rear ends, than ours.

2. Keep in mind, they're looking at their enemies: our elected officials.

The people don't know what's good for them, and we must keep the operations of their government secret from them.


They (by the looks on their faces) might be in serious danger of becoming the danger they are supposed to protect us from.

3. What is it about Conservatives and their rimless glasses?

I swear that if I see an older white male wearing rimless glasses, I immediately think "Conservative asshole." I always keep that thought to myself, but in the vast majority of the cases where I get a chance to make an informed determination, my first guess was right.
