Question:
If the terrorists hate us and are attacking us because of our freedom,
then doesn’t it follow that taking our freedom away is an open act of appeasement?
What will Congress do next, impose shaira law on the U.S.?

These pro-hitler terrorist appeasers must be stopped.
What’s next? A new holocaust against the Jews?
AIPAC needs to alerted immediately that passing the new FISA
bill is the first step in the conspiracy to destroy Israel.

If all this surveillance is supposedly targeted at terrorists - then why are AMERICANS the ones being spied upon, the ones being told they have to have a ‘real ID’, and the latest crap - an electroshock bracelet to be able to board an airplane?

Sounds to me like the Bush Administration believes that American Citizens are the terrorists since all of their efforts are aimed at Americans.

We need to get out the torches and pitchforks and descend on Washington and run all the bloody bastards out of the country.

The pot of gold that the traitors are after is the absolute right, without consequence, to screw Americans.

On the telecom immunity issue included in the FISA amendments, once upon a time there was a bright and shining moment when, approached by the NSA to release their customers’ records, Denver-based Qwest Communications refused. Concerned about the legality of such a demand, the Feds were told by Qwest’s attorneys to come back with a warrant if they wanted that information. No warrant was produced for this fishing expedition, and no records were turned over.

The interesting part of this is that it happened in February of 2001, a month after Bush first took office, and well before the 9/11 attack the following September. Now why, when the country was not under a known ‘terrorist threat,’ did the Govt need to collect this information to begin with? Why the need to spy on Americans?

Give the other telecoms immunity for being cowards, unlike Qwest? No. No. No.
