"If somebody from al Qaeda is calling you, we'd like to know why."
Reframe this. Bush wants you to think in post-9/11 terms. Think about it in PRE-9/11 terms, in regards to the planning and implementation of the September 11th attacks. The Presidential Daily Briefing document dated August 6th, 2001 was titled "Bin Laden determined to strike in the United States" How did they know this? The NSA was already monitoring Al Qaeda. The NSA wiretapping leak may be the "smoking gun" that Bush had even more foreknowledge of the impending September 11th attacks.

either trace the call or get a proper warrant. As the cops are so fond of saying, if you're not doing anything illegal you have nothing to worry about.

4. My problem with this is that sometimes Bush has spelling problems
and spells "al Qaeda" "Quakers" "Environmentalists" "Progressives" and "Democrats".

Call your congresscritter tomorrow and ask them to co-sponsor HR 635-or thank them if they already are.

6. I've always been most curious of what was done to thwart known impending
attacks that occurred on 9-11, the state of readiness, that sort of thing. Wonder why the MSM and the Congress, for that matter, have not been just as curious.

12. If someone from AQ is calling me, I'll keep them on the line
and dial the FBI on my cell phone so they can trace the call.

"That's fascinating, Mr. Atta. Tell me more about these 72 virgins..."

14. NSA was monitoring the Flt. 77 hijackers, al-Midhar and al-Hazmi,
who proceeded to commandeer the jet that smashed into the Pentagon. The NSA notified the CIA which tracked the pair as they travelled to and from an al-Qaeda planning summit in Malaysia in early January 2000. Present in Kuala Lumput was Moh. Atta's roommate, who returned to Hamburg. Upon the pair's arrival at LAX on 1/15/00, the CIA pressured the FBI liaison to withhold a cable that would have notified the Bureau national security office in New York.

That's the confirmed link in the DIA's Able Danger program that connected the members of the al-Qaeda "Brooklyn Cell" before Moh. Atta arrived in the states. According to the official story, that data was ordered scrubbed four months before 9/11.

Using warrantless NSA intercepts, the CIA and DIA were indeed tracking the 9/11 attack cells after they entered the US, which was illegal. You're correct - there is a smoking gun, a whole trail of them that leads to George W. Bush in the White House, who refused to issue an order to roll-up the al-Qaeda cells known to be roaming around loose inside the U.S. during the summer of 2001.
