"The mentality was we need to get these guys, and we're going to do whatever it takes to get them," said the cheese-eater
OK and the problem is????
And since when did we start calling rats, whistleblowers? Oh thats right, when its a Republican administration. This is beginning to start a very dangerous precedent for the safety and security of The United States of America. Ask yourself, if youve slaved for 20 years for your Country in a top security but thankless, nameless job and have been passed over time and time again for promotion, but you REALLY REALLY want to meet Katie Couric, what are your options? Hmm let me see. You could write a book or star in a movie, but that would require artistic skill, so how could you circumvent the talent part? I know I know, you could say your Country is the big bad wolf and your President is the boogeyman. The networks will be lining up at your door, the nytimes will reserve a spot on their bestsellers list, and cindy sheehan will keep a seat warm for you on the lucrative blood money speaking tour. You will be important, you will be a somebody, and gosh darnit people will like you.
...but at what cost?

Yes donkey, and the crazy thing is that they get away with it so soon after the valerie plame thing. I mean that case isn't even over yet, and already the secret cia prisons and the wiretaps are "outed" and the same people who cried about plame (schumer,clinton,etc.) are calling these guys whistle blowers. The hypocrisy is appalling. But the media is in it with them, so they know they can get away with it. Disgusting.
The gov't listening to my phone conversations without a warrant is disgusting!!
Could you please elaborate WL?
Are you implying that you have Al-Qaeda connections or that you like to talk about blowing things up? Or maybe its that you arent familiar with the NSA's program, and the unlikeliness of it to target innocent civiliians. This is a program thats long been in place in order to protect us from those that would do us harm. Its just that now the old keywords like assassinate and jodie foster that triggered the taps have been replaced with jihad, infidels, and osama. Dont let your blatant partisanship and hatred for Bush cloud your judgement and jeopardize Americas safety.
Exsqueeze me!! Bush Smush Kush!! I couldnt care less who is doing it;I don't want my conversations tapped. And if I CHOOSE to use any of those words in lite bantor, I want to be able to. It is a blatant dissrespect of my privacy. It is a sneaky way to snoop on people and gather info on people whether they are terrorists or not-without just cause mind you.
And please don't start that 9/11 B.S. because that could of been thwarted.
Im truly sorry that you feel that 9/11 (which I didnt mention) is "bs"
Next time you fly, use the words bomb and jihad in "lite banter" or yell fire in a crowded theater and see what happens.
I never said 9/11 was B.S. I was there buddy. I'm saying don't use it as an excuse.
And Donkey don't get so dramatic about lite bantor. I just don't want some geek in washington listening to me talk dirty to my girl in L.A. And if i want to say "That *&^%$#y is the bomb!!!" I dont want to be entered on the "hot list"
i don't think you have to worry warlike. from what i understand it's mostly international calls. besides even if your convo's were checked, they would eliminate you quickly, and that would be that. besides you've probably been checked already just because we talk about this stuff all the time on this blog. I would imagine we've all been checked and cleared by now. except for gadfly of course who might be still under watch for being a marxist.
All Im saying is once again this is a classic example of the left's overreaction in looking for an opportunity to demonize the President. They caught the guy planning to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge with this program so its obviously working. Im sorry you feel your boo boo kissy talk is more important.
Hey, WL...your girl lives in L.A.? Are we sure she is real...I remember kids growing up used to say that they had a gf in Florida or some other then far away point of destination. Just kidding but seriously man those long distance things stink. I mean, unless you have an east coast booty call that sates your desire.
PS - I agree with you & I don't want anyone listening to my conversations, dirty or otherwise. If you are a citizen and there are no warrants for your arrest, then I think you have earned that right.
First of all Superfly, I am no longer married. And in these times if you have 1 woman in your life when you're single--you just aint paying attention.
I'll leave it at that.
I have to live vicariously through you single guys since I am married...for now. It does seem like women get easier and easier all the time. That bodes well for you single guys. Maybe it's just the ring though. Woman always want what they cannot have...I'm not saying they can't have me. Despite my shoddy wardrobe, I have expensive tastes; high maintenance 'ya know?!?
Peace out and look out for the return of the old style to return soon...I am almost done with my month end/year end financial close and it is about time someone drops mad flavor on this stale piece of bread you homies call The Aurora.
I'm so (Gad)fly. No, you ain't (Gad)fly. Yo, I'll be gettin' blunted 'til the day that I die.
I used to work with a guy who had a funny saying. One time i asked him about all the women who called him at the office and he said
"it's a poor rat that's only got one hole"
