Just passing on some good information. Hey I'm fixing to pop in Undiscovered. From the reviews it trashes the movie but loves the score. Did you do anthing more than the one song for the movie?
To the first--probably the leaker is a pissed off lifer at either Justice, NSA or CIA--one of hundreds and probably thousands that are now officially fed up with the lies, incompetence, and criminal acts that exemplify this administration. You'd be amazed at how many of these guys are floating around. And what kind of records some of them keep. And some of them even know reporters!
It's Ok to Out this kinda information but when we Out a non-critical CIA agent Valerie Plame we are worried about a security leak? Hmnnnn.....
But this is pure three card monte that you and the white house are playing--the real issue is that Bush clearly has been engaged in exactly the kind of thing that forced Nixon's resignation--the illegal use of our national security apparatus, spying on American citizens, and bypassing the judicial branch. All highly impeachable offenses, to add to the growing list of impeachable offenses this administration is guilty of. And this one has the additional feature of having a recent, and undeniable precedent in Nixon. Both used elements of the national security apparatus to spy on Americans, and political opponents, for their own purposes. Nixon was forced to resign. Bush?
Hmmm you are reaching here a bit. One is done to spy on a political party and one is done for the sake of National Defense in a period of wartime. Not quite the same thing.
And the canard that these rights were granted Bush by Congress? Au contraire. Congress specifically denied the request in 2003.
To the second--Powell supports some level of "eavesdropping", as long as they have due cause and a warrant. He wonders why they didnt just get warrants. A little bird tells me that the reason for that is to minimize the paper trail, as the off- the-record and illegal wiretaps were primarily against, not Al Qaeda, or anyone vaguely affiliated with terrorism, but instead against political opponents of Bush and the neocons. Like, say, John Kerry.
Thinking you may be a bit paranoid here David but you believe what you want.
And wow, stop the presses! So US intelligence agencies use wiretaps! Oh no, what will Al Qaeda do with that shocking information? What a dastardly thing to do, to let that secret knowledge get out! And we use computers???!! How can we let such information into the public marketplace?!!! Clearly a treasonous leak! Easily on a par with burning a twenty-five year cover of an anti-WMD unit of the CIA for purely selfish political reasons. After all, everybody knew that Valerie Plame wasnt really an energy analyst, and that Brewster Jennings was a front company. And who needs the four to six hundred people that got burned there? It's only nuclear arms control.
Oh you made such a strong case for that argument....not. WTF are you talking about 4-6 hundred people?
Nope I do not want a women period for President unless it is Katheryn but they won't let her in because she is from Australia. Speaking of which I finally got the 78 Saab CD in. Very nice. Reminds me a lot of Coldplay and Travis.
