DU this MSN poll: Surveillance on Americans: Do you agree with Bush?
It's on the question of the day site:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3080261/

Surveillance on Americans: Do you agree with the President's actions? * 5947 responses


Yes 20%
No 80%

==============================================================
NEW YORK - The National Security Agency has eavesdropped, without warrants, on as many 500 people inside the United States at any given time since 2002, The New York Times reported Friday.

That year, following the Sept. 11 attacks, President Bush authorized the NSA to monitor the international phone calls and international e-mails of hundreds — perhaps thousands — of people inside the United States, the Times reported.

Before the program began, the NSA typically limited its domestic surveillance to foreign embassies and missions and obtained court orders for such investigations. Overseas, 5,000 to 7,000 people suspected of terrorist ties are monitored at one time.

The Times said reporters interviewed nearly a dozen current and former administration officials about the program and granted them anonymity because of the classified nature of the program.

Government officials credited the new program with uncovering several terrorist plots, including one by Iyman Faris, an Ohio trucker who pleaded guilty in 2003 to supporting al-Qaida by planning to destroy the Brooklyn Bridge, the report said.

14. CNN Wolf Blitzer Poll
I was watching this afternoon. The question of the day was should the Patriot Act be renewed? At the end of the show they said the vote of 91% NO and 9% yes. Mind bogging.

I tried to find that poll on their website, but couldn't. Guess they had to quickly eliminate that one. Too UNPATRIOTIC.

17. 20% AGREE??!? Okay, DUers, I'm about to get flamed...
because I'm now at the point where I think the 20% who agree with this should be taken and euthanized--for the good of the country.

I know, I know... "If you do that, you become just like the Bush-fascists..." "Don't sink to their level"... I know, I know... but I just finished browsing over the site www.libertypost.org. There are posters on there who NEVER CHANGE, no matter WHAT atrocity their soiled god Bush commits. I'm sorry, but I just can't think of anything to do with such people except to euthanize them. I can't go on living in this country with such people!!!
