Contradiction And Confusion From the Right on Warrantless Searches
Contradiction And Confusion From the Right on Warrantless Searches
On September 17, 2001, President Bush visited the Islamic Center of Washington, D.C., to declare that Muslims “share the same values of respect and dignity and human worth. … They love America just as much as I do.” But the actions Bush took in the days shortly after 9/11 sent a clear signal that his administration viewed those who stood with him in the Islamic Center as national security threats, not as individuals who shared American values.
U.S. News revealed that, in the days after 9/11, Bush ordered that “over a hundred Muslim sites in the Washington, D.C., area, including mosques” be secretly monitored for radiation levels without warrants or court orders.
Reacting to the story, the right-wing blog Real Clear Politics posted the following misguided commentary:
This is insane. Can we not settle the legality of these types of programs in private? … As with the NSA case, the leakers should be rounded up and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
In fact, federal officials involved with the program did try to settle the issue of the program’s legality in private, but the Bush administration (as it typically does) resorted to fear and intimidation to stifle dissent. Here’s what U.S. News reported:
Two individuals, who declined to be named because the program is highly classified, spoke to U.S. News because of their concerns about the legality of the program. … “A lot of us thought it was questionable, but people who complained nearly lost their jobs. We were told it was perfectly legal.”
The right-wing anger here is misdirected. It is the Bush administration that took actions contrary to the law and has thus made this an issue. In fact, the whistleblowers and U.S. News were careful to omit “sensitive methods” that would compromise the procedural operations of the program.
It’s also ironic that Real Clear Politics now wants to employ the power of the law to round up and prosecute leakers — unless of course the leaker is the deputy White House chief of staff and the substance of the leak involves an undercover CIA agent’s identity.

I have come to the conclusion that no amount of reason or talk will convince those who are lined up in lockstep behind President Bush of anything.
The mountain of evidence of the corruption of the Republican leadership of both houses of Congress and Bush’s administration continues to grow. Their disdain for the Constitution, their willingness to support profoundly unjust acts aimed at the nation’s most vulnerable individuals and families, their willingness to sneak legislation underneath the radar in the dead of night and keep votes open interminably to force the strong-willed into mouse-like contrition to the leadership – and the mean-spirited unfairness of that legislation, the giveaways to their corporation sponsors…
The mountain of evidence of loathsome, sometimes illegal, anti-American, anti-family, greed-driven, secrecy-obsessed, bare-knuckled politics threatens to reach to the sun. And yet these people don’t see it.
Last night, in one of the final acts of moral abomination before boarding the jet back to their home districts, the Senate approved billions of dollars in tax cuts that strip thousands of families of their bare necessities for the winter season. In my state, families have just had home-heating fuel assistance stripped out from under them. Food stamps, often the last line of defense against starvation and malnutrition for the nation’s poor – stripped of millions in funding.
Virtually every program in this nation which helps the weak to survive the predations of the strong and powerful has been gutted. Meanwhile, the largesse keeps rolling in like a tsunami of generosity to those who do not need or deserve it. The tax cuts they want to make permanent. The rollback of Teddy Roosevelt’s first progressive blow against the oligarchy of the robber baron elite, the inheritance tax, has been successfully spun into a “death tax” that afflicts the humble, God-fearing “American Gothic” style American farmer and causes him to lose the farm. Of course, not one such humble dirt farmer can be found. This is a concerted effort on the part of billionaires, people. Not your pappy’s corn farm.
It’s a great time to be an energy executive (like George and Dick), a corporate leader, a Halliburton man, or any blue-eyed devil with deep pockets, friends. The money rolls in faster than they can pocket it. The White House laughs and laughs. The zombie pundits harangue “liberals” for launching a “war on Christmas,” while actual dead bodies litter the globe as the result of the Right’s paranoia and cynical manipulation of fear.
A war on Christmas, honestly. As if such a thing were actually happening… meanwhile the war on the American people by their fraudulent leaders continues unabated and the large majority of Americans watch helplessly as their pensions, health benefits, collective bargaining power, life expectancies whither.
The Right wing leadership and their cronies live in the lap of luxury, forget about shared sacrifice, forget about equality and fairness. Just keep that money river flowing and the anger at a fever pitch, as long as they make sure the muzzle of rage is safely pointed at people who can’t actually shoot back. 18,000 “terrorists” now under surveillance by the unchecked executive branch, the poor, who have no voice, the working poor who are too exhausted to fight. The mentally ill, the elderly.
Merry Christmas, suckers, Bush says from high on the hill. Sleep well.
Sooner or later we’ll have nothing left but our feet to protest with, and our votes. I await that time, America. I’ll see you in the streets.
December 23rd, 2005 at 4:38 pmThis is my stated position on the GOP:
The current Right-wing Republican leadership uses the government and laws against the individuals to protect the corporations and businesses. As a committee chairman Tom Davis is part of that leadership.
It is my personal believe that the government must protect the individual and the individual’s rights from corporations, bad government and bad laws.

December 23rd, 2005 at 4:52 pmi just don’t understand. how can Bush think that he has the power to legislate from the white house? i don’t see anything, anywhere in the Constitution that explicitly grants power to the excecutive to ignore law. some critics argue that the power to issue Executive Orders is not granted in the Constitution, and that they in are in practice unconstitutional- ie, they amount to writing law.
even if you agree that the president has the power to issue EOs (and courts have upheld this entirely constructed power), how do you come up with the formula that says an implied exceutive power supercedes not only legislation passed by the congress (say, FISA), but a right of the people of this country EXPLICITLY laid out by the 4th amendment?

Dubya’s 3 Laws of Despotics:
1. A despot will obey all orders given by the Vice President.
2. A despot will not seek approval to perform an action, where such action is likely to be deemed illegal.
3. A despot is free to claim any and all extra-legal and extra-Constitutional powers, except where these powers conflict with the First and Second Law.
December 23rd, 2005 at 5:02 pmI’m sure Nixon wanted to lock up all the leakers during his administration as well.
December 23rd, 2005 at 5:13 pmThe argument I’ve heard defending acts of these sort is that “We are at war and need to win. The president is commander in chief and needs the power to ensure our success.” Yoo Da Man used this argument to defend torture, and now again to defend the warrentless wiretaps.
But from a legal perspective I can’t see anything different between government in a state of war and government in a state of peace. Congress authorized the president to act with force, but there has been no formal declaration of war. Since there’s no legal start to the war, there won’t be a legal end to it, either.
If you say the president needs ultimate authority because we are at war, and the war is nebulous (hard to win wars on nouns like “Poverty,” “Drugs,” “Terror.”) and neverending, then you have president who says he gets to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, and anybody who’s queasy about that should just trust him. Well, forgive me if I don’t. I thought I lived in a country that had checks and balances, an independent judiciary, and a bill of rights.
December 23rd, 2005 at 5:14 pmBUSH CELEBRATES CHRISTMAS HOW????
‘Every word he says is a lie, including ‘and,’ ‘but’ and ‘if.” – paraphrasing Mary McCarthy.
“Amazingly, Bush, now the governor of Texas, defended the illegal torture of the young fraternity pledges at the time as a harmless prank-insisting that it was comparable to “only a cigarette burn” which left “no scarring mark physically or mentally.” But others said the branding resulted in a second-degree burn that left a half-inch scab in the shape of the Greek letter Delta.”

December 23rd, 2005 at 5:14 pmThere is a “law” that states “It is better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission.” This philosophy has merit when the term are considered. It is conceivable and permissible that DUHbya could have acted first rather than ask the permission of the FISA Court. It is not permissible if he does not “beg forgiveness” or ask for retroactive permission, which would have been granted without penalty if, a big word for such a few letters, IF, the wiretapping were legitimate. My first thoughts were that he knew that permission or forgiveness would not be given so he chose not to act hoping he would not get caught. The problem with that argument is that it requires some conscious thought on DUHbya’s part, an act not apparently within his capability. I am now convinced that he just really doesn’t care and not because he is arrogant but because he is a true sociopath and has absolutely no feelings but scorn, hatred, fear, and disdain for any other person. His immediate family included. His devotion to Cheney is due to fear and indoctrination (Pavlovian) more than respect. This Country is in a very sad state of affairs and it will worsen as time goes on until the despot is removed from office and stripped of self-assumed power. He will never resign nor even admit that he was ever wrong. The prisons of the world are filled with similar law breakers and egotistical malcontents. It is time for us to see that their ranks are increased by a significant number of like kind from the Bush Administration.
December 23rd, 2005 at 5:26 pmFaiz and et al,
I have question for all of you.. I am wondering how long did Bush Admin took to craft the US Patriots Act?
I am thinking they crafted long before 9/11 hmm? I lost track of when the original US Patriot Act passes?
Thanks!

“But the actions Bush took in the days shortly after 9/11 sent a clear signal that his administration viewed those who stood with him in the Islamic Center as national security threats, not as individuals who shared American values…..after 9/11 Bush ordered that “over a hundred Muslim sites in the Washington, D.C., area, including mosques†(perhaps even the mosque Bush spoke from) be secretly monitored for radiation levels without warrants or court orders.” – Faiz
**** With the level of anti-Ameicanism expressed by some imans, I HOPE THEY WERE MONITORED!!! Radical Muslims have hidden behind the skirts of some “religious” leaders here and abroad. If 9/11 hijackers included radical matzoh ball makers or the notorious gang at the Waterford glass factory, I would expect to keep an eye on them, too. NOTE I did NOT say round them up as FDR was wont to do. But please, TP continue to assert your security concerns – Americans won’t elect Dems and progs they perceive to be soft on terrorism. (Go TP, Howard, Nancy, Harry!!!!!!!)

In “Two views on the domestic spying controversy†David Brooks’ “TOUGH SPOT†reveals that the true threat to national security is an opinioned right-wing columnist. After reading Brooks’ viewpoints on President Bush deliberated spying on American citizens, whom he supports, I came away with commenting on his question of national security Brooks posed to the public (that’s me): What you would have done if you were Bush? Answer, quick and dirty: I would have paid extreme attention to an August 2001 PDB entitled “Bin laden Determined to Attack in U.S;†I wouldn’t have ignore terrorists plot to use aircraft before 9/11; wouldn’t have taken an extended vacation and ignored the clear and present danger about terrorism or al Qaeda before 9/11; wouldn’t have cut an FBI request for counterterrorism by two-thirds after 9/11; would given UN weapon inspectors enough time to certify the non-existence of WMDs in Iraq; and would have rebuked the fabricated “intelligence†gathered by Vice President Cheney’s and Secretary Rumsfeld’s “Office of Special Plans.†These actions would have prevented 9/11 and the Iraq war, and prevent a president’s attempt to destroy our civil rights.

19 minutes ago
NEW YORK – The National Security Agency has conducted much broader surveillance of e-mails and phone calls — without court orders — than the Bush administration has acknowledged, The New York Times reported on its Web site.
The NSA, with help from American telecommunications companies, obtained access to streams of domestic and international communications, said the Times in the report late Friday, citing unidentified current and former government officials.

December 24th, 2005 at 3:03 amCan we as American citizens sue George Bush over this? Pehaps a massive class action suit. We could get the ACLU to sue George Bush on all our behalfs. The harm would be the violaton of the right to privacy established in Griswald and the FISA law. The remedy would be they would have to tell what Americans they have a file on and if any of those files were a result of warrentless searches or taps, they would have to pay and destroy the files. What do you think?
December 24th, 2005 at 6:36 amWell if the spying thing is going to cool down for a while I would suspect to hear from Congress soon with some new immigration legislation. If you can’t peep on people what do you do next? You make it more difficult for people to spend or transfer cash out of the country. These hawala systems are the main pipeline. Terror has to be funded and obviuosly the govt. has had a hard time with the Sami Al-Arian case so what’s a congress to do? So i’d go with restricting cash flow. Why do think we switched to new $100 & $20 bills? Also read the Usn&w report especially the part about the collection is done by machines, no culpability for machines? Where is that one going?

It’s really unpleasent to see how some persons display their blind obedience to a totalitarian power while admonishing their peers to do the same.
The difference between I-SHEEP-I, and so real Americans, is that he thinks the best way to honor ones government, is to blindy follow it and ask few or no questions.
Patriots on the other hand think the best way to honor their country, is to ensure that their government does not corrupt itself.
Some parents think it’s good to support their children no matter what they do.
And some parents will ride their kids to do the right thing, regardless of whether they like it or not.
The good german citizens living in towns outside of the death camps, when the Americans rolled in and found the horrors waiting there, told the GI’s, we didn’t know. We thought they were burning rubbish.
And I think a lot of Americans are going to be saying, we didn’t know, we thought they were liberating the Iraqi people at the upcoming Nuremburg 2 trials.
I want my country to be good. Not evil.
And that is why I speak up.

WASHINGTON – The White House decision to order surveillance of international phone calls by U.S. citizens without a warrant violated longstanding practices and could undermine a key U.S. intelligence agency that’s critical in the struggle against terrorists, former senior intelligence officials and other experts said this week.
The super-secret National Security Agency, which eavesdropped on the Soviet Union’s leaders and scored other intelligence coups during the Cold War, has spent three decades recovering from domestic spying scandals in the 1970s.
December 24th, 2005 at 4:23 pmThis Great Nation deserves a big apology for the Bush Administration’s secret illegal spying. A Special Prosecutor should be appointed to investigate the illegalities. Consequently, I would have liked some Moral Republicans to stand up and apologize in response to my post on a “neutral territory” Yahoo board yesterday:
“Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse . . . and now for covered up, illegal spying! Moral Republicans must be even more depressed to see another major issue in which their President has been caught lying and breaking the law. Even the Republican pandering show Hardball has an expose of the President’s lies to the American public about his illegal spying. See: Domestic Spying-Hardball at http://www.crooksandliars.com/. So unsurprising for Democrats yet so depressing for Republicans to watch our President sell us all and everything we stand for down the river.”
But I guess not surprisingly the Republican posters on that board appear to have the same mentality as the Bush Administration they support. Deny they did anything wrong. Then blame everyone else for their secret illegal spying — blame the terrorists for causing the problem and the Democrats for questioning their approach. Here are the facts about what Bush did:
1. Bush himself lied to and misled the American public about the Patriot Act and his Administration’s tactics for addressing terrorism (see video clip linked above).
2. Bush and his Administration broke the law. By Bush’s own admission in the above clips court permission is required to spy on people. We also learned from Nixon that secretly using the government to spy on people is illegal. There are rumors that John Yoo, the infamous inexperienced White House counsel that wrote the now-debunked memos justifying flagrant violations of the Geneva Convention, wrote another memo in support of the Administration’s secret illegal spying.
3. Bush and his Administration acted immorally. Once again Nixon showed that secret spying on Americans without judicial approval in a covered up operation is wrong.
4. Bush overreacted to the terrorist threat in yet another non-productive manner. Secret illegal spying to combat terrorism is about as effective as our occupation of Iraq, now a terrorist breeding ground and cause celeb. We didn’t need secret illegal spying to stop 9/11 – in fact our government had all the pieces but just didn’t put them together. The secret illegal spying has not resulted in the capture of OBL and has not stopped the insurgency in Iraq. We need competence in law enforcement and our military.
5. Bush’s focus is wrong again. While our government continues to execute a desperate program of secret illegal spying, Nick Kristoff has written about how the terrorists are running circles around us on the Internet, how we don’t intercept most of their communications and don’t have enough translators to interpret those that we do, and how we have not fixed silly rules that make it very hard for US agents to pose as Jihadists and infiltrate terrorist cells. And the 9/11 Commission found so many other failures, including that we still don’t share information within our government.
Incompetence, corruption, greed, and denial of reality are the unfortunate recurring themes of the Bush Administration and Republican Leadership.

Does it denfine what those violations are, or is it up to the discretion of the Commander in Chief?
I hope Georgie Boy and his Henchmen don’t get to make any more interpretations of anything else concerned with attacking or judging the behavior of other countries. As they clearly fail to recognize that what some people find acceptable cultural behavior, others don’t. He should have understood that culturally, democracy is a foreign concept to the Middle East, and bestowing it on them overnight was not only simple-minded and ignorant, but as we are finding out the hard way – dangerous. Just like the Crusades forcing their religious culture on pagan peoples who did not have a cultural capacity for fear-mongering worship.

I can’t wait for the 9/11 sequel when the NY Times leaks the “Why didn’t Bush do more!” article.

Were you born in 2004? Because Clinton, a Democrat won both of his campaigns in 1992 and 1996. Then Al Gore won his election in 2000, even if the Supreme Court acted irresponsibly and annointed King George before the recount validated Gore (who also won the popular vote – which means that more people voted for him). Peeping George barely won the 2004 election with 51% (probably lost by the time you factor in the Diebold problems). Hardly room to declare a landslide. So, when you talk about how the left ‘keep losing elections’ what fairytale nonsense are you referencing exactly?
