Wiretaps fail to make a dent in terror war; Al Qaeda used messengers

Oh, the horror. More lies, W.? What would Jesus say?

I think we all new that spying on private civillians is not about the war on terror but about keeping the public under control, the same way needing medical records and abortion records when Ashcroft was running the show (and disturbingly singing about eagles soaring) was about making abortion legal. There is another agenda and it isn't about Al Qaeda. Bush said it himself he is not too concerned with Osama.

Also, something to read and think about: Alito Once Made the Case for Presidential Power.

Pay attention to the upcoming Supreme Court Justice hearings, especially the ladies. Our rights to our own bodies are at stake, yes, but so is our right to not live under a dictatorship. According to this article, A you Sam Alito wrote a memo that outlined the allowance of a more powerful executive branch with the president issuing "interpretive signing statements" before signing statutes into law. This means that the president can interpret the laws as he sees fit, giving the president equal or more power than the Senate. "Since the president's approval is just as important as that of the House or Senate, it seems to follow that the president's understanding of the bill should be just as important as that of Congress," Alito wrote. He later added that "by forcing some rethinking by courts, scholars, and litigants, it may help to curb some of the prevalent abuses of legislative history."
