Here are the Facts on the intelligence bill and eavesdropping. (Bush Weak)

[Ioo]

Bush said that he did this because he needed to be angel and quick, well here are the facts.

The Intelligence Act ALLOWS for intelligence agencies to tap a phone or whatever WITHOUT a warrant, it states that the intelligence agency in question then has 72 hours to go back and seek that warrant.

So there is NO GOOD reason for Bush to pull this stunt unless he has something to hide. He has to have something to hide because every reason he sited is not true. Can you tap a phone on a tip without a warrant in hand? Yes, but you have 72 hours to seek that warrant.

So I think they question is, WHO are you tapping? and WHY did you feel that you had to MAKE UP laws? Did you know that the court would not approve a tab of political opps?

Know the facts, and don't allow this BS to stand...

1. If Bush is talking.......

he's likely lying.

And I have yet to figure out why various members of various American administrations haven't been hauled before war crimes tribunals.

3. Exactly

I believe it was Blitzer who asked why Bush went against the law. What is he hiding? If it was for terrorism he wouldn't have had to hide. He could've gone to the NSA and told them they have a good lead on this person being a terrorist and had the proof to back them up. They don't have any proof to back them up except Bush said so. He's been a proven liar so you can't trust anything he says. Some conservative guy said Bush stopped an attack on the Golden Gate bridge in San Fransisco and Bob Barr told how that's b.s. and why it was.

4. Feingold said the same - Bush chose the illegal route

when a legal route was readily available. There are legal ways to do anything that is just that require no waiting at all. Bush chose power for powers sake because he thinks he is above the law.

5. So Then Its at least 13 Occasions?

Would Bush signing to at first authorize and then to reauthorize 12 times (I could be wrong on that number) each be a criminal offense?

6. I think we know and are learning that this administration has

decided that they are going to terrorize the U.S. citizens, visa guests, green card holders and potential tourists. They don't give a damn about us. They have decided that they are going to RULE us.

The entire contingent of right wing lawyers are not going to win this case except by having a right wing Supreme Court going against the evidence. Thinking citizens will not accept this no matter how often the boring, repetitive, unimaginative, handicapped, defecient King George speaks to us.
