TJM #56,

By pointing out the “FACTS” to Raymond you are attempting to fill a relatively small space (his head) with too much information. If you continue, you may be responsible for causing hemorraghic conditions in a micro-cranial sphere resulting in the death or serious injury of said individual.

Please cease and desist or charges may be filed against you.

I just looked under the news section and not one story about the spy scandal in all of their top stories! How is that possible?? Those stories are supposed to reflect the most popular current news events. There is no way this isn’t some kind of trickery. Shame on them. Ok, what the hell is going on with google now?

Raymond B,

First off, 550 pounds of explosives were stolen.

Secondly, do you think that the person/s that stole the explosives stayed anywhere near where the explosives were stolen from?

Thirdly the bad guys had up to five days to get as far away from the explosives depot, do you think they are anywhere in New Mexico?

So, realizing that 550 pounds of explosives were stolen from New Mexico and in five dayperiod could have ended up anywhere, do you think the federal government should monitor everybody in the US?

Do you think the government would have a problem getting a retroactive warrant 3 days after the fact? Because that is exactly what FISA allows. Of course there is NO court that would give Bushie a warrant to spy on Quakers or peace-loving Catholic high schoolers. And that is the point. He can easily get warrants on suspected terrorists. He cannot get them to spy on his political enemies. Therefore he broke the law to do it. #154

It was reported by the ATF that 150 pounds of explosives are now missing in New Mexico. It has been advised that the explosive materials were stolen at an unknown time between Dec. 13 and Sunday Dec 18. Now lets talk about the question of protection. If you lived in this area how bad would you want persons of interest to be immediately wiretapped? Does Bush’ rush to tap policy seem so out of hand when a situation like this occurs, and you live right in the area?
