Fucklehead on Passage of Intelligence Security Legislation

[Solly Mack]

"Tonight the House joined the Senate in passing legislation that will close a critical gap in our intelligence collection, and I appreciate their efforts to complete the legislation before the August recess. The Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell has assured me that this bill gives him what he needs to continue to protect the country, and therefore I will sign this legislation as soon as it gets to my desk.

I also want to remind Congress that our work on reforming the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is not complete. When Congress returns in September, we need to work together on additional reforms, including the important issue of providing meaningful liability protection to those who are alleged to have assisted our Nation following the attacks of September 11, 2001."



So far, it has not been listed on the August calendar as signed

1. "Alleged to have assisted our Nation"?

If he likes it, you know it's horrible.

[Solly Mack]

2. I found that passage disturbing as well

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

3. WTF does that mean? eom

[Solly Mack]

4. That's what we're wondering....what exactly does Bush mean by that

and I agree...if Bush wants it (liability protection)...it has to be something truly horrible they want protection for

[zabet]

6. It is the ultimate cover your ass, and your cronies' asses, move.

[Solly Mack]

8. That's what I got from it too

now I want to know exactly what they're covering up

[BadgerKid]

13. Covering up of false intelligence?

Just way to place all overseas communications behind the shield of national security or executive privilege (same difference now).

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

14. I think I just figured out. Shrub is now protected from prosecution for NSA illegal wiretapping,

along with his cohorts.

[Solly Mack]

15. I believe that's a big part of it, yes

and anyone that intelligence gathering was ah..."outsourced" to

[Skidmore]

26. Begs another question...so why the hell are Democratic Party legislators

obliging them with the CYA...

[Solly Mack]

27. good question

[zabet]

5. That passage disturbs me deeply.

I feel numb and shell-shocked and the world outside my door marches
on into oblivion and servitude.

[Solly Mack]

9. Exactly...I got a chill from it

[peekaloo]

7. I, too, am confused-ed about that statement.

What do-gooder(s) is he trying to protect from the evil-doers? Himself, Cheney and/or the Anthrax mailer?

maybe I misunderstand the "meaningful liability protection" part....'tis early for me.

[Solly Mack]

10. Guess we'll find out come September..well, find out some

Bush won't be forthcoming , so it will have to come from somewhere else

[peekaloo]

12. btw.... about the name Fucklehead

:rofl:

:thumbsup:

[Solly Mack]

This bridge ain't goin' nowhere
Are you high?
Are you full of Bourbon liquor?
Are you a hunter or a digger?
Well I guess you got snotty
When you went back west
It ain't a big surprise
Those folk in California
Keep it close to the chest
No one grows up
No one grows old
No one ever dies

Spit chalkdust at your mother
Spit chalkdust at you pa
Spit chalkdust at little sister
My mouth is full of powder
But I can not swallow it all

Mr. Man are you on fire?
Today?

Are you a taker or a giver?
I ain't got closer yea to where you are
With your parental side
Never gone far
Nobody ever gonna die


Spit chalk dust at your mother
Spit chalkdust at you pa
Spit chalkdust at your little sister
My mouth is full of powder
But I can not swallow it all

Is it little blues is that you callin'?
Stay away
Are you looking for one more sucker?
Are you a fighter or a fucker?
You're shovin' my head in the oven
But still you're hummin' that tune
I feel like I'm gonna die
The ache in my bones
it won't end soon
Man that don't mean nothin'
I ain't ever gonna die

Spit chalk dust at your mother
Spit chalkdust at you pa
Spit chalkdust at little sister
My mouth is full of powder
I can not swallow it all


HAD THE ROCKS NOT BEEN THROWN
THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO CHANCE OF THE KILLING

19. WTF Does he want congress to let the Telecom companies off the

hook for spying on American citizens.

[Solly Mack]

21. That's probably part of it, yes

[rodeodance]

23. YES< IT fact--it was in the comprehensive Reform plan!

[rodeodance]

20. I think he is talking of Internet providers. Aol, ect----it was in the comprehensive

plan he wanted passed.

[Solly Mack]

22. Yes - but I still wonder who else

has a need for such protection and for why

[rodeodance]

24. I do not know about WhO else-but there was a few Articles on DU about internet

providers. I do not recall any others

[Solly Mack]

25. Don't you like how he said "alleged"?

coupled with assisted...as if they are accused of helping America....
