New Poll: Majority of Americans Disapprove of Bush’s Warrantless Wiretapping

A little more than a week ago, the right-wingers heralded the results of a poll that they claimed showed a majority of Americans supporting Bush’s illegal warrantless wiretapping policy. Here’s what that poll found:

Sixty-four percent (64%) of Americans believe the National Security Agency (NSA) should be allowed to intercept telephone conversations between terrorism suspects in other countries and people living in the United States.

Michelle Malkin used the poll results to suggest “America Is OK With NSA.” Redstate and the National Review also celebrated the results.

But there was a big problem with the poll question — it failed to say that President Bush was conducting the wiretapping without a warrant. Today, a new AP poll was released showing what Americans truly think of Bush’s policy:

56 percent of respondents in an AP-Ipsos poll said the government should be required to first get a court warrant to eavesdrop on the overseas calls and e-mails of U.S. citizens when those communications are believed to be tied to terrorism.

    I guess we disapprove because it’s ILLEGAL. Impeach the bastards before they destroy our country.


  2. Gary says:

    writing as an overseas e-mailer (I know it’s in reverse) this is a serious question, how does the Bush Administration define ‘tied to terrorism’?


  3. Mary says:

    Gary, the answer to your question is “any way they want.” Thank goodness Americans see the problem with Bush’s policy. We need to increase that number.

    My high school students, usually indifferent to current political affairs, were actually incensed when I told them that Bush was wiretapping American citizens without the required warrants… If this offends teenagers generally entralled with only their iPods and local gossip, then how does it miss 44% of polled grown adults?



  6. Frazer says:

    Why is there any question as to the error(evil?) of the Bush/Rove/Cheney policy RE:wiretaps? He has had legal means to do the same thing all along.

    Suzanne – that is yet another Orwellian step deeper into the invasion of our privacy, and the erosion of our civil rights. Anything to make a buck… Absolutely anything…


  9. SpudgeBoy says:

    The results are a little different when the question is asked properly.


  10. James says:

    THE POLL IS STILL FLAWED! AP should have said should the president be required to obtain a warrant – keeping in mind that the president can apply for one 72 hours later.

    The 72 hours would have bumped it up about 10 points.


  11. SpudgeBoy says:

    James,

    How about adding.

    Knowing that the FISA court has only turned down 4-5 warrant request since 1978.

    I am sure that would add another 10.


  12. SpudgeBoy says:

    Let me trying that again:

    Knowing that the FISA court has only turned down 4-5 warrant requests, out of nearly 19,000 total requests, since 1978.


  13. Giacomo says:

    My high school students, usually indifferent to current political affairs, were actually incensed when I told them that Bush was wiretapping American citizens without the required warrants…

    Personally, I’d be pretty incensed if you bring your politics into the classroom (especially if my child was in your class) … “wiretapping without the required warrants” is most certainly only one side of the story … if I were a teacher, would it be OK for me to say “wiretapping suspected terrorists is completely legal” thus entirely defining the issue by the way I interpreted it … of course not. There are legitimite reasons for believing the eavesdropping to be illegal … I cede this, but even if you were a political science teacher, is it your place to bring this up … knowing full well that they would likely take your side (some may not) because you are in a position of trust. Why not allow the students to debate the item back and forth without your personal opinion tainting either side … that way, they gain valuable experience from intelligently stating and supporting a claim and are allowed to arrive at their own conclusion … from this small case it would seem you’re less interested in education than ideological advocacy … what gives?


  14. afterthought says:

    Now I think the wingnuttery will claim
    that polls mean nothing AGAIN.
    Must be a drag to have to contradict yourself
    ever other day, but when you spin one lie
    after another to help the “boy-king”, it
    is a predictable occupational hazard.


  15. afterthought says:

    Gee, I don’t understand why “rule of law”
    confuses wingnuts so much.
    It must be hard when teaching the constitution
    must be considered slanted because Chimpy
    doesn’t follow it.


  16. afterthought says:

    Just to make things clear:
    The law is more important than Chimpy.
    Sorry that your hero is a zero, but
    the country is free and honorable because
    of the rule of law.


  17. SpudgeBoy says:

    Giacomo,

    “wiretapping without the required warrants” is most certainly only one side of the story

    Actually, George Bush admitted to “wiretapping without a warrant” on national TV. At this point in time, every single person on the face of the Planet knows he admitted to doing it.

    So, it is the ONLY side to the story. The left did not make this up. George Bush admitted to it. Warrantless wiretapping DID happen. The question is if it is legal or illegal. There is no other side to this story.


  18. James says:

    Adding the 4-5 denials would be helpful, although it could be claimed such an addition is biased as it doesn’t also mention that warrants have been modified, etc.

    The 72 hour deal just makes people realize that the government can act as fast as they like.

    Thinkprogress, through their parent organization, has the funds to conduct such a poll (contracted through Zogby, etc). It would be nice if they did that – it’d likely hit the MSM.


  19. James says:

    It would likely hit the MSM (thinkprogress parent doing such a poll) simply because the numbers would be in the mid to high 60s range. That isn’t exactly something you can ignore – completely.


  20. Giacomo says:

    The results are a little different when the question is asked properly.

    Spudge, I know you’re a bright individual … would you not cede that the answers to most poll often reflect the manner of the question?

    Example

    Do you feel it’s appropriate for President Bush to protect the United States from terrorist attack by eavesdropping on suspected terrorist calls without a warrant or not?

    Any time you ask something and then a “or not”, most people go with the something … especially if you taint the question with “patriotic” language. I know this didn’t happen with the first poll, but it often does.

    or

    Do you feel that it is illegal for the US government to eavesdrop on American citizens without a warrant, even if those individuals might be in contact with suspected terrorists, or not?

    Similar question … likely different answers. It’s why I tend to not put a lot of stock in opinion polls b/c they are rarely asked in a neutral manner and two similar polls can get completely different results … as we’ve seen here. Not to mention sample size, geographical location of the pollees, etc. …


  21. Giacomo says:

    Actually, George Bush admitted to “wiretapping without a warrant” on national TV. At this point in time, every single person on the face of the Planet knows he admitted to doing it.

    You left out part of unbelievables comment … the one word that taints the comment … “required” …

    Bush asmitted to eavesdropping sans warrant, but to say that they are required in this case is to mislead what Bush actually said, isn’t it. He claims it’s legal.

    If she said Bush is wiretapping without warrants … he says it’s legal but others say it’s not … let’s discuss the different sides and the factors that come into play” … it could be a huge learning excercie … if she made the statement as she posted here earlier, it wasn’t a debate … it was a turkey shoot.


  22. SpudgeBoy says:

    See, you are changing our question to make your point.

    Here is our question:

    “hould the government be required to first get a court warrant to eavesdrop on the overseas calls and e-mails of U.S. citizens when those communications are believed to be tied to terrorism, keeping in mind that the president can apply for one 72 hours later, knowing that the FISA court has only turned down 4-5 warrant requests, out of nearly 19,000 total requests, since 1978?

    Because that is THE question.


  23. SpudgeBoy says:

    Giacomo,

    Yes, George Bush “claims it’s legal,” but that doesn’t change the fact that it is not.


  24. mighty aphrodite says:

    “But there was a big problem with the poll question — it failed to say that President Bush was conducting the wiretapping without a warrant.” Text by Faiz –
    *****While you’re busy repeating this info, I will busy myself and repeat that anybody who is not aware of the warrantless searches of people in the US receiving Al Qaeda calls does not deserve to be polled. (As astute as you are, you know this story has been prominently featured on the nightly news since December 16.)


  25. James says:

    their sample makeups are pretty much the same – which still means those of us that stick with cells are not included as well as those who choose not to participate. That still makes for samples that are relatively equivalent.

    They know the sample size they need – it’s basic statistics – and they follow it.

    The main issue, as you say, is the wording of the question. Neutral questions must be asked, any others are simply biased noise.

    Fox tends to ask the most leading questions – but not by much. As for ‘different’ results – are just as biased as each other. One has no mention of warrants. That’s all. The ‘warrant’ inclusion accounts for the jump, not a leading question relative to the first.

    As for most polls, they are within the sampling standard error. As you likely know, sample sizes are picked with the maximum allowable error (at a given confidence level) allowable. They pretty much all tend to fall within the same error zones.


  26. afterthought says:

    See, I told you the wingnuts would
    claim polls don’t matter.

    It’s why I tend to not put a lot of stock in opinion polls b/c they are rarely asked in a neutral manner and two similar polls can get completely different results … as we’ve seen here. Not to mention sample size, geographical location of the pollees, etc. …

    Comment by Giacomo — January 7, 2006 @ 5:27 pm

    You’re just pissed off that I think your religion is delusional.

    There’s a thing called ‘current events’. I know you’ve never heard of it… but I give them an opportunity to talk about what’s going on in the world they are about to enter. Of course you’d be pissed off, you want your progeny to only believe what you believe. How dare they hear another side of the argument – or even worse – GASP! the truth!!


  28. James says:

    Spudgeboy: overseas calls should be modified to incoming or outgoing. (same with email).

    “knowing that the FISA court has only turned down 4-5 warrant requests, out of nearly 19,000 total requests, since 1978?”

    This is the part that might be a problem. It makes the question long and the idea is to keep it short. I think it might get people to focus more on that last piece.

    The FISA court would also have to be reworded to ‘the special secret court that approves such warrants’ or some similar thing. Most people don’t know there is a FISA court or what it is.

    I’d still ask the full question – I do feel the 4-5 day part is relevent – simply because it is no more biased than other polls out there.

    I would guess that you would get a 65-68 percent disapproval on such a question. At least.


  29. Giacomo says:

    Is that what was asked? If so, do you see how most respondents would side with the positive in that case … ask that same question but like this …

    Does the NSA and the CIA have the right to eavesdrop on suspected terrorist communications with US Citizens without a warrant or should a warrant always be required because US Citizens privacy must be protected.

    Reverse the order of the questions if you like, but both sides need to be spelled out succinctly.


  30. SpudgeBoy says:

    Wow, I agree with mighty aphrodite!!

    “anybody who is not aware of the warrantless searches of people in the US receiving Al Qaeda calls does not deserve to be polled.”

    I agree 100% with this. There are people out there who are completely out of touch with what is giong on in this country. And no I am not taking a shot at right wingers. I am talking about peolpe that don’t vote, are not conservative or liberal.

    Those people should not be polled, as they don’t have an opinion. Not because they aren’t smart enough. They choose to not care about politics.


  31. James says:

    Judd/Faiz – Could your parent organization afford such a contract poll (ie outsource it to Zogby to gain the needed credibility *plus* the fact that it would be available on his web site and picked up)? It would seem a worthy use of funds – 70 percent disapproval ratings are a bit more than even Bush can stand.


  32. afterthought says:

    I think Americans are suspicious of the government.
    The sissy-Mary neo-con fear everything con-job is getting
    pretty weak these days.
    Grow up and realize that the founding fathers
    were worried about fascists like Chimpy
    when they wrote the constitution.


  33. Lisa says:

    With all due respect, Giacomo, it doesn’t matter the excuse, the President violated the law. He publically stated that he approved of the wiretaps without obtaining a warrant. Another blogger also brought up the fact that Bush’s excuse that he has done so because ‘we are at war’ is a fallacy. Only the Congress can enact the war powers (which they have not) AND what about the bs on the USS Abraham Lincoln?

    I’m glad to see teachers talking to their students about this! They will be voting members of our country very soon and they need to get involved. We all need to get involved. It’s not about simply electing someone and them ‘doing their job while I do mine’. It’s only so apparent now that we need to be diligent about sustaining contact with our elected leaders so that they understand we’re not going to be duped any longer.

    Had Bush not wanted to piss all over the law and our Constitution, he would have played by the law. Remember, he’s the one that calls the Constitution a “goddamned piece of paper”.


  34. SpudgeBoy says:

    Giacomo,

    Does the NSA and the CIA have the right to eavesdrop on suspected terrorist communications with US Citizens without a warrant or should a warrant always be required because US Citizens privacy must be protected.

    I could even go with that question. WHy? because it focuses on US Citizen’s right and not the fear mongering “terrorist” crap.

    I agreed with mighty aphrodite and Giacomo back to back. Uh oh. :)

    Comment by Giacomo — January 7, 2006 @ 5:27 pm

    Yeah, that’s how teaching works… I forgot, you know EVERYTHING! What was I thinking, I should have asked YOU how to do my job instead of the actual Education System and people in it with hundreds of years of prior experience.

    Children aren’t as gullable or stupid as you think they are. If anything, they think they aren’t challenged enough or gieven enough credit to think for themselves. They always challenge me, so I frequently challenge them, and they love it. But they no more swallow things hook line and sinker just because an adult tells them something. In reality, they routinely complain about other teachers who they think are pulling something over on the kids. I’d recommend you do some research on that, but by now, we all know that all you have to offer is speculation and conjecture of how you think it should be, and aren’t willing to consider anything but your own two cents.


  37. James says:

    they should be polled just because they vote or have the potential to vote. Excluding a segment of the population – one that has more republican leaning folks in it – discredits an entire poll – especially in the eyes of the policy makers.

    Question #2 should be something regarding to – “If the Supreme Court (people trust it a bit more than lower courts) rules such actions to be illegal, should George Bush be impeached?”

    Question #3 (conditional on #2): “If not, do you think President Clinton should have been impeached?” :)


  38. Giacomo says:

    You’re just pissed off that I think your religion is delusional.

    Nah … you’re certainly not the only one to think that … I’d hardly be able to function if I got angry whenever someone disagreed with me …

    There’s a thing called ‘current events’. I know you’ve never heard of it… but I give them an opportunity to talk about what’s going on in the world they are about to enter. Of course you’d be pissed off, you want your progeny to only believe what you believe. How dare they hear another side of the argument – or even worse – GASP! the truth!!

    I’m all for current events … by all means allow them to talk, but why taint their conversation with your opinion. If there’s one thing I’ve learned about parenting, it’s that I can’t control what my children believes … I can certainly teach them to be good citizens and Christians as best I can, but if I’m poor at either, they’d eventually see right through me and reject everything (or most) of what I taught or said. I want them to hear the other side … 100% of the time … I never would shy away from honest and open debate … they’d be morons then. From your quote though, your students didn’t hear the “other side” … they heard “your side” … big difference … don’t get all pissy because I called you on it.

    Again, I’ll ask. Would you be Ok with another teacher tainting the question in a pro-Bush manner … i think not (and neither would I by the way), because it’s thinking for the students and not allowing them to think for themselves. I know you understand what I’m driving at … I wonder if you’ll agree or just keep swiping at me defensively.


  39. mighty aphrodite says:

    #5 – “My high school students, usually indifferent to current political affairs, were actually incensed when I told them that Bush was wiretapping American citizens without the required warrants…”…in the meantime, I had to give the kids in my basket weaving class a gentlewoman’s ‘C’ because I wasted so much valuable time imparting THE “correct” knowledge to the future basket weavers of the world.

    I love how you know the entire context of my conversation in that classroom based on a brief synopsis I posted here two days afterward. Stop trying to turn this into something it isn’t.


  41. SpudgeBoy says:

    Lisa,

    “I’m glad to see teachers talking to their students about this! They will be voting members of our country very soon and they need to get involved.”

    You are 100% correct. Politics should be talked about in school. DO we just kids be uninformed about any of the issues and then when they graduate, they are expected to vote when they are 18.

    Give me a break. Politics are a public affair. The schools are funded by the federal government. Therefore what the federal government does IS important.

    The children in California schools need to know about how Arnold has removed so much funding that my kids last school had to drop band. BAND!!! The kids need to know that a republican governor did that too them and that the Terminator is just that, part of an evil machine.

    the bottom line is: people DO NOT want their phones tapped,email tapped, or any of it. It invades their freedom of speech,thought,assembly and on and on. There are NO results from it catching the bad guys,because they use OTHER METHODS talk. DUH! Bushie just wants to spy on anyone that doesn’t ‘fall in line’ with his dictatorship. Can it happen in America???…It IS happening. Nixon tried it and failed,and so will bushie. These idiots never learn how to properly use their power. How did bushie find out the paper was going to print the spy story?…HIS SPYS found out, then threatened them so they held it for a YEAR.

    What I’m asking is why you feel it’s ok to slant your class toward a progressive mindset (in this case … who knows if you always do it … given the BS you keep tossing my way, maybe) … it’s not and you know it. I’m glad they challenge you and vice versa … this case you posted above was no challenge it was shooting fish in a barrell … don’t attack me because I noticed.

    Comment by Lisa — January 7, 2006 @ 5:53 pm

    Thanks Lisa… I appreciate the support. Most of their parents feel the same way, and because they love their children, want them to learn to think for themselves. If you have children of your own, they are fortunate to have a mother who values knowledge and education over blind subservience.

    Giacomo is just miffed that he can’t convert me to his religion, so now he’s trying to vilify me. And as usual, it’s backfiring.


  45. Lisa says:

    Unbelievable – keep rockin with your students. Some of them will actually appreciate a teacher who challenged them to see the world with reality than just through a droning textbook. Hopefully, when my child gets into highschool, she’ll have teachers similar to you.


  46. unbelievable says:

    by all means allow them to talk, but why taint their conversation with your opinion. If there’s one thing I’ve learned about parenting, it’s that I can’t control what my children believes

    Giacomo – you just imploded right here. If you can’t control what they think (which is true), then my opinion doesn’t influence them…


  47. unbelievable says:

    From your quote though, your students didn’t hear the “other side” … they heard “your side” … big difference … don’t get all pissy because I called you on it.

    What other side would that be? You want me to lie to them? That other side? There is no other side…

    You’re the pissy one, I’m just stating it like I see it.


  48. Ducktape says:

    Giacomo, if you ask the question of students, without making them aware of the law that requires warrants and the ability to get them under FISA, that would be a political statement. Making them aware of the law, and then asking them their opinion on whether the President should be allowed to ignore it, is not.

    If you asked me whether handguns should be restricted only to law enforcement personnel and carefully vetted other people with the need, but not allowed to be generally available to the public, I might answer yes, just looking at the amount of gun violence and knowing that handguns aren’t useful for anything other than shooting people. However, knowing that it is a protected right under the US Constitution, I would have to answer no.


  49. Giacomo says:

    Giacomo – you just imploded right here. If you can’t control what they think (which is true), then my opinion doesn’t influence them…

    Are you saying that I have no influence over my kids and that you have no influence over your classroom? I can’t control what they ultimately think, but I certainly can influence it … I’m sure you can see the difference.

    What other side would that be? You want me to lie to them? That other side? There is no other side…

    So when 40% to 60% (depending on the poll) of the nation feels differently than you do, somehow you can claim ignorance to the other side … the fact that you can’t allow for another side is what scares me … you’re so ingrained in your own thinking that you can’t even tell when the contrary point of you may be legitimate (notice I said earlier that your side has merit) … wow. Let’s hope you teach math or something empirical and not political science …


  50. unbelievable says:

    Again, I’ll ask. Would you be Ok with another teacher tainting the question in a pro-Bush manner … i think not (and neither would I by the way), because it’s thinking for the students and not allowing them to think for themselves. I know you understand what I’m driving at … I wonder if you’ll agree or just keep swiping at me defensively.

    Comment by Giacomo — January 7, 2006 @ 5:56 pm

    I do know what your driving at. I always know. I just don’t agree. There are pro-Bush teachers and they do state things in a Pro-Bush way. Just like the local news states things in a Pro-Bush way and I don’t think you’re harrassing them over it. It’s just human nature to have preferences. And it does not bother me (again this is a Progressive forum, I’m not in a conservative one spouting off). Unlike you, I respect the kids’ ability to think and decide for themselves at this age (typically 14-18). They weren’t born yesterday. And the biggest influence in their lives are their parents, not me. That’s the difference here. I don’t believe I can control anyone but myself. And I don’t think children are as gullable as you are infering in your posts.

  52. WaltTheMan says:

    Back in the late 50’s when I was in high school, there was a course offered, called “Civics”, and I actually took it as an elective. There was parental control so as not to stomp on parental rights, but my folks did not restrict my choice of subjects. In that class, we took a bi-weekly bus trip down to the city library and read the national rags. The rest of the time we discussed items in the two city newspapers affecting city and state government as well as the Constitution and the laws at all levels from local to federal, internationals, and the UN.
    Why did W’s parents bar him from a similar experience? I lived in Dallas at the time.


  53. David K. says:

    PLEASE, unbelievable and Giacomo, get personal attitudes and presumptions about the other out of this thread. My experience with discussion leading and facilitating leans toward opening the classroom forum with G’s “Bush is wiretapping without warrants … he says it’s legal but others say it’s not … let’s discuss the different sides and the factors that come into play.” While U’s “I told them that Bush was wiretapping American citizens without the required warrants.” is certainly a factual statement and teachers do have to “tell” students things. My approach would have been to open with “Who knows how wiretapping is in the news this week? If no student responds, which sometimes happens, then start off down G’s route. It is encouraging to know that the topic got some play in the classroom. Way to go Ms/Mr U!

And it does not bother me (again this is a Progressive forum, I’m not in a conservative one spouting off).

    And if they taint the issue, they’re wrong … so are you. 2 wrongs make a right now?

    And the biggest influence in their lives are their parents, not me. That’s the difference here. I don’t believe I can control anyone but myself. And I don’t think children are as gullable as you are infering in your posts.

    Parents are more influential you’re right … but yet you excuse the tainting of your classroom because 1) everyone else does it and 2) kids are smart. Unbelievable … you are unbelievable. I’ll be sure to tell a Christian to start talking about the Bible in schools because “kids aren’t gullible” … they shouldn’t and you shouldn’t.

    Comment by Giacomo — January 7, 2006 @ 6:03 pm

    Once again you assume the worst in others who don’t think exactly like you. You really should get over that, because everyone your kids come incontact with is trying to sell them something – whether an education, a viewpoint, or even drugs. Don’t kid yourself into thinking I have so much power that I’m corrupting children… I just casually pointed it out in response to a conversation we were having on why Congress is investigating the President.

    And I did tell them that 20% of this country will believe anything a ham sandwich says just so as long as it supports their delusions (okay unclench, I’m joking).

    Public school is exactly the place where politics should be discussed. Students will be voting soon (or in the army). Having discussions in class in political science, or current events, or civics (do they even teach that any more?)is precisely what a good education should include. Private schools may have their good points, but like home-schooling, the tendency to prosyletize is strong. The country is diverse, and not to teach children as much as possible about all positions of the issues is to do a disservice. Kids must be taught to think for themselves, to think about what they feel and what it means.
    Unfortunately, the politicians in charge today are more narrowly focused, and public school children are suffering.
    Elective classes that make for well-rounded individuals are being eliminated for lack of funds.
    To the topic however, when people are asked the question in a clear manner, the answers will undoubtedly reflect that Americans believe that unwarranted eavesdropping and wiretapping is against basic American foundations.
    Bush claims that leaking this story has lessened our security somehow, as if the terrorists are idiots who don’t know we are spying on them. Bush is the idiot.

    PLEASE, unbelievable and Giacomo, get personal attitudes and presumptions about the other out of this thread. My experience with discussion leading and facilitating leans toward opening the classroom forum with G’s “Bush is wiretapping without warrants … he says it’s legal but others say it’s not … let’s discuss the different sides and the factors that come into play.” While U’s “I told them that Bush was wiretapping American citizens without the required warrants.” is certainly a factual statement and teachers do have to “tell” students things. My approach would have been to open with “Who knows how wiretapping is in the news this week? If no student responds, which sometimes happens, then start off down G’s route. It is encouraging to know that the topic got some play in the classroom. Way to go Ms/Mr U!

    Vice President Dick Cheney, the “Herman Göring” of the Bush Administration, has come out with the blunt admission that everything that LaRouche said back in January 2001 was true. On Dec. 20, while traveling to Oman on Air Force Two, the Vice President spoke to reporters, and delivered an unabashed defense of Carl Schmitt’s Führerprinzip (Leader Principle) of absolute executive power. Cheney, facing a growing revolt from the Congress, the military and intelligence institutions, and the American people, against his over-the-top push for Presidential dictatorship and his promotion of Nuremberg war crime offenses, let it all hang out, admitting that he came into the Vice Presidency, fully committed to the imposition of rule-by-decree government.

The Problem, to me with the Nutty Professors, Democratic, Republican and Otherwise. Sure you can TEACH a dog to attack, and thats a BAD thing right? But truly, If the Dog followed the order given, it then did so because it believed it did the right thing? Or did it only do the Thing it was taught? Such is Why we are Human.

    The executive branch governs with at least one eye on opinion polling. More importantly, a body that can check the executive branch likes strong backing from opinion polling when they take a particular course.

    No one is saying that an opinion poll determines POWERS, just that it can influence ACTIONS.

    As for the poll being flawed – 50+42=92. 8 percent are “independent”. People who are proud of their party broadcast it – those that don’t like to call themselves independents, as well as those who are sick of their party. Things have changed since the last elections…


  85. unbelievable says:

    Giacomo,

    Last thing I’m gonna say on the issue… I wasn’t tainting them, or trying to sway them. You weren’t in the classroom. You don’t know the full context. You don’t know the relationship I have with them, with their parents or with the school district. You assumed an awful amount of paranoid delusion and reacted to it as if you’d literally been set on fire. You freaked out without asking a single question first on the context, or what else followed the information. You never assume the positive. Ever. Only the negative Devil is ruining the children mentality… watch, you’ll do it again in response to this post.

    One rule in my classroom is that anything I say is fair game. They are not only allowed to challenege what I say, but I actually give them bonus points if they can catch me saying something that they can refute with facts and evidence (opinions and emotion do not qualify). And believe me, if they put as much effort into studying as they do trying to correct me, they’d all be Rhodes scholars.

    It was no different with this information either. I don’t have an evil ‘agenda’ to convince them to vote Democrat (because I’m not one), but simply an agenda to get them interested in the world and to vote.

    They frequently come to me to ‘talk’ about a variety of things. They say it is because I do not judge them or invalidate their opinions. Mostly, I listen. I don’t believe in lecturing kids in that condescending old school way that you, IRI and Afro constantly use without considering their perspectives. My father was like that and I hated it. So in my classroom they are always feel to speak their minds, knowing everyone has and is entitled under the Constitution to have their own perspectives – including me.

    I agree with Jonathan #84. My fellow wingnuts, I ask you who said the following:

    He also said: “If Tyranny and Oppression comes to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.”

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but it was President James Madison. I mean, if this was about Clinton and the war in Bosnia, the Repuglicans would be in the streets screaming, “Off with his head!”


  89. MrTimPA says:

    #85 – Lily – that’s the question I’ve been asking as well! Since FISA specifically allowed for taps to start immediately with warrant requests to come within 72 hours LATER, why weren’t the warrants asked for? I’d like to know WHO was tapped and why the Administration was afraid to go to a secret court for the warrants? Given the track record of the court (handful of denials out of the tens of thousands granted…)

    That is the question. If you want to spy on someone – and have all of the legal ways to do it (FISA), why are you spying on that someone without using the tools you have – unless you are concerned that the court would through out your request based on the WHO it is. Makes one wonder.


  90. richb says:

    Interesting news story.

    Three Algerians arrested in an anti-terrorist operation in southern Italy are suspected of being linked to a planned new series of attacks in the United States, Interior Minister Giuseppe Pisanu said Friday.
    The attacks would have targeted ships, stadiums or railway stations in a bid to outdo the September 11, 2001 strikes by Al-Qaeda in New York and Washington which killed some 2,700 people, Pisanu said.

    I haven’t seen this covered in the media here.

    Disclaimer: My brother was telling me this. I was not involved. My brother and his wife are not political people and generally tend to vote Republican.

    For Impeachment, my nephew pasted photos of Nixon, Clinton and Bush Jr.

    For Pro Tempore he pasted all of these psychedelic old photos of Ted Stevens from the 60’s because he thought the guy was funny looking (’like the Six Flags geezer’ he told my brother).

    I think it was IRI, maybe, who said that Bush didn’t need them. Something about it being a matter of him doing what his position affords him to do to protect us (as in the situation trumphs the Constitution). I can’t seem to get an answer which qualifies it in light of the law, and not just their opinions on the matter though. Probably because they don’t have an answer. So, good luck!

    As for conservative political expression, again I ask the same question. Would “people like you” include the fine folks who run this site? Well, your sorry ass is still here, isn’t it? I don’t see the administrators banning anyone from this site based on their political views.

    If you want to go after anyone for restricting political views, I think you need to go after a few of the conservative blogs. I haven’t posted to any, nor have I visited very many to read the comments, but from feedback seen on this site and crooksandliars.com, folks posting leftwing views are kicked out.

    Finally, I seem to believe that it was the rightwingers who were essentially telling the Democrats to shut up about any comments or opinions that were in opposition to the President. Any negative comments about him or the War on Terror were met with accusations of treason and labels of “traitor.” You really do make me laugh.


  102. RemoveBush says:

    Gary Ruppert what kind of drugs are you taking? Let’s see the things that Bush has done that’s right.

    1) Failed to get off his sorry a*s on 9/11 when he was told we were under attack and begin acting like a leader.
    2) Falsified information and lied to the American People as well as to Congress, which by the way in its self is an Impeachable offense.
    3) Outed a CIA agent for retrobution because someon stood up against him and said his facts were incorrect.
    4) Spied on Americans without a warrant. Not just terrorists, but Americans who had nothing to do with terrorists. By throwing out a huge net to spy illegally he violated our constitutional rights.
    5) Returned only 6K dollars of over 100K in money from Abromaf.

    Yeah! I would say that the Bush Crime Family is doing whats right!


  103. Gary Ruppert says:

    The warrants were not sought because we needed to monitor the terrorists immediately without the risk of the court dismissing a warrant on a technicality.

    Bush had a very elaborate system in place where our defense efforts were undertaken on that morning. Bush didn’t need to stomp out of the classroom to do anything.

    2) Falsified information and lied to the American People as well as to Congress, which by the way in its self is an Impeachable offense.

    Prove one lie he told Congress.

    3) Outed a CIA agent for retrobution because someon stood up against him and said his facts were incorrect.

    Plame was not a covert agent, therefore she could not be outed.

    4) Spied on Americans without a warrant. Not just terrorists, but Americans who had nothing to do with terrorists. By throwing out a huge net to spy illegally he violated our constitutional rights.

    No he didn’t. There’s nothing that proves that innocent people were “spied” on.

    5) Returned only 6K dollars of over 100K in money from Abromaf.

    Harry Reid only returned 0K out of over 100K given to him by Abramoff.

    As well, Bush feels no need to donate legal donations.


  106. SpudgeBoy says:

    The warrants were not sought because we needed to monitor the terrorists immediately without the risk of the court dismissing a warrant on a technicality.

    You can do it for 72 hours. If you find something, warrant granted. If you don’t find anything, evidence destroyed. That is how it works Gary.


  107. RemoveBush says:

    Gary, you need to get a clue. I’m done talking to you as it’s like talking to a chair. No matter how much information and truth I present to the chair that chair is just going to stay there. Even if the house is on fire and I tell the chair to run, you will just stand there.

    In other words, we ignored the law because we were afraid the taps were illegal. Great defense!

    PS: How do you know these taps were on “terrorists”? Answer: You don’t.


  109. MrTimPA says:

    107: Gary – Proof (of the list). And as for the warrants – of the thousands issued, a handful were denied over the 26 years since FISA. Risk of dismissing? What risk?

    No…Bush does what he, and only he, thinks is right. To hell with anyone else’s opinion. And speaking of opinion, he recently told NBC’s Brian Williams, during some time that he spent with the president, that he (Bush) reads the news, but that he doesn’t like to read opinions. That much is true.

    As for Clinton, I’d be interested to know which decisions he made based on public opinion that you feel were wrong.

    So that’s the new talking point? I guess you’ve finally conceded that a warrant is necessary so you have to blame the judges for not granting the warrants. But of course, you stubbornly refuse to blame Bush for this. Is there anything you’re willing to blame Bush for?

    What are you smoking? So, a handful of denials over 26 years out of what 20,000 (more? less?) approved requests? That’s activist? Too funny. (Oh, and please provide proof that the FISA court had these activist judges – doh!)

    The warrants were not sought because we needed to monitor the terrorists immediately without the risk of the court dismissing a warrant on a technicality.

    So Bush refused to obey the law in the event the warrant was legally denied? This makes no sense. If he ignored the law about seeking a warrant, what makes you think he would honor the law if the warrant was refused?


  127. Giacomo says:

    I haven’t seen any proof of this yet … I did hear someone say (maybe it was O”Reilly, so take it with that in mind) that the reason the judge quit is because he was the “leaker” … if he takes a leave of absence from his federal judgship … we’ll know (b/c a jusge can’t sit and be under federal investigation)

    Gary – are you under the influence? #1. Did you read the 9/11 Commission Report? The so called ‘elaborate system’ was nonexistent! Not only that, when Bush heard about the 2nd plane, he decided to sit there and read, “My Pet Goat”! Ummmmm, we were being attacked! Hellooooo! #2. In summary ‘Suddam has been trying to by yellow cake uranium in Africa’! Suddam has weapons of mass destruction, when not even 18 months before both Condi and Collin were saying that Suddam didn’t have the capability for WMD. For pete’s sake, I could be the Everready Bunny here and keep going, and going, and going…#3) Like hell she wasn’t! Not only that, ol’ Novak publicized the cover corporation they were using. I wonder how many asses were in serious jeopardy over that! #4) We don’t KNOW that because they REFUSE to tell anyone who they have (and most likely continuing to) spy on! Even that’s beside the point, ANY American being spied on without a warrant IS ILLEGAL! #5) The discussion wasn’t about Reid; smoke and mirrors, dude. Legal donations? Really? I heard it’s ‘pay to play’. If you donated a significant amount of money, you got to a personal appointment with the ‘king’. And why, for christ’s sake, didn’t he give ALL the money back to the Native American tribes Abramoff stole it from?

    Are you telling me it’s ok for you to keep tainted goods even after you find out tainted? From the law I know, it would be confiscated. That’s what makes pawn shops a risk factor when doing business with them.

    Step away from the Kool Aid, Gary. It might taste good, but has a wickedly bitter aftertaste because it reaks of dishonest poison.

    Here’s a question: In the phrase “those communications are believed to be tied to terrorism”—believed by whom? Based on what? A hunch? A conversation with God? Or perhaps some actual evidence?

    That’s the crux of the question; not can conversations be wiretapped, but how is it determined that the wiretap is legitimate, and not an abuse of power used against, say, political opponents. That’s why we need judicial oversight; it would be nice if the Congress also took an interest in preserving the check and balances outlined in the Constitution.

    Frankly, the President, Congress and the Supreme Court Justices all take an oath to protect the Constition. Anyone who fails to do so should be removed from office.

    “56 percent of respondents in an AP-Ipsos poll said the government should be required to first get a court warrant to eavesdrop on the overseas calls and e-mails of U.S. citizens when those communications are believed to be tied to terrorism.”

    Well, I believe that poll is bullshit. Americans don’t give a damn about other Americans’ privacy when they are breaking the law let alone planning the next terror strike.

    But let’s say it’s true and AP???? found five people that think that way….I say screw them and their opinion unless they are constitutional scholars and have the guts and the bucks to bring it to court.

    If the Filthy Left thinks that put up polls and limp wristed threats of impeachment is going to keep Bush from stopping the next 9-11 you have seriously underestimated the man. But the question arises; why would the Filthy Left try and stop surveillance of suspected mass murderers that have vowed to hit us again? Hummmm????? Why would they do that? Here’s why, ……

    THEY HATE BUSH AND CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVES MORE THAN THEY LOVE THEIR COUNTRY AND APPARENTLY THEIR OWN LIVES.

    In my opinion that makes you losers the equivalent of suicide bombers. It’s only a matter of time before we start dealing with you with that in mind.

    THEY HATE BUSH AND CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVES MORE THAN THEY LOVE THEIR COUNTRY AND APPARENTLY THEIR OWN LIVES.

    There’s no need to resort to baseless character accusations. I don’t have Christian conservatives, I just don’t want to live in a theocracy.

    We don’t want Americans to get hurt. We’re just asking the question “Why?” which seems to be a forbidden question to conservatives. We want to know the reasons for things. You are content to blindly obey Bush, assume the Bible is infallible, etc.

    Hi All,
    Joining this debate rather late, but I just want to say:
    1) Unbelievable:You are the kind of teacher I adored. You challenged me to THINK! That is a GREAT thing! You must be a fantastic teacher. You gave FACTS, not opinions as others have accused you of. You presented it, and let young Americans think for themselves. Gaic. just doesn’t get it. It’s about raising a human to function and think on their own, not about cloning. Bravo, Unbelievable. Keep opening doors (and minds) of our future!
    2)Trolls: You are a SAD bunch indeed tonight.
    Not even worth my time, nor anyone on this blog. There is NO case. You have NO defense. You simply will not admit your guy (and you) are wrong. That’s too bad. It’s actually based on early traumatic events in which the only way (said person’s)can cope is to create a fantasy life. Things must be perfect in that person’s life; otherwise reality (AKA, truth of their life experience) will come crashing down around them.
    Sad. But true.
    3)To Susan & Debtonator: GLAD to have you here tonight. When I didn’t see either of your names here last night I thought, “Oh No. The SS…oops, Bush’s people… had you arrested.” Glad to see you back.
    This will probably be my only post tonight. I’m beat. Just wanted to add my 2 cents tonight.
    Good night, all.

    Someone is keeping hope alive. Thank you!

    BTW, Rice seems to be the only one of this cabal still with teflon on. Therefore I hope for her indictment even more than Rove’s.


  182. Amazed says:

    So many people who worship at the shrine of Bush and the shrine of irrational fears of “the other” (i.e. terrorists, etc.) don’t care about their own personal civil liberties or rights to privacy in these cases, because they believe they are innocent and will never have their rights infringed upon. That’s the core illusion here.

    Well I’m not a terrorist! And I don’t know any terrorists! So the Bush White House can just come on in and check me out, because they’re protecting me from “the other”.

    But for a government to be so callous and disinterested in personal privacy rights and civil liberties, a government that has already proven that it makes mistakes constantly, is a government that doesn’t care about your innocence if it gets in the way of the search for “the other”.

    And if they make a mistake and you get entrapped in a bad situation, the Bush administration isn’t really going to be bothered to listen to you and your claims of innocence. And when you end up in that secret prison in Jordan, who is going to listen to your claims of innocence then?

    There’s no rational excuse for anyone to have their civil rights trampled on with careless disregard (or malicious disregard is probably more like it). But just because you say you are innocent is irrelevant. Innocence is relative when it comes to dictatorships. Innocence is relative when it comes to fascist regimes. Innocence was relative when it came to Soviet gulags. Innocence was relative when it came to concentration camps. Innocence is relative when it comes to “winning” the “war on terror”.

  184. Gary says:

    #187, Amazed, it’s not just about ‘the other’. It’s more complex than that, it involves a neocon belief that a society is better controlled internally if there is an external enemy – it’s known as the ‘moral lie’. The external enemy does not have to be real but perceived as real.
    It’s about individual neocons making a fortune.
    It’s about deceiving/breaking laws/killing/anything as an acceptable (morally acceptable) method of attaining, maintaining and retaining control.
    It’s about Israel remaining the greatest power in the middle east.
    I’ts about gaining American corporate power in foreign territories.

    Arcata City Council calls for Bush impeachment

    By Kimberly Wear / Eureka Times-Standard

    ARCATA — A split City Council passed a resolution demanding the impeachment or resignation of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, citing violations of international and constitutional law.

    The White House responded that the president “remains focused on the business the American people elected him to conduct.”

    The resolution lists a series of allegedly impeachable offenses, including “the crime of misleading the American people and Congress into waging an unnecessary and brutal war in Iraq,” “the criminal failure of the president to respond adequately to the Hurricane Katrina disaster,” “torturing human beings in violation of the Geneva Convention” and “ordering the secret surveillance of American citizens.”

    Councilman Dave Meserve and Councilwoman Harmony Groves penned the resolution that passed 3-2 Wednesday, joined by Councilman Paul Pitino, with Mayor Michael Machi and Councilman Mark Wheetley dissenting.

    ”All elected officials swear to uphold and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” Meserve said. “This obligates us to act when the president violates the Constitution. We hope that other cities will join us in demanding the impeachment of Bush and Cheney.”

    OK. I can’t wait any longer. Why is anybody surprised? Years ago, had to have been after 9/11/01 my local police department used the PATRIOT act to wiretap phones to find a runaway 16 year old purse snatcher. Don’t know if they did mine, since he was a friend of my son and it’s my understanding that they will never have to tell me if they did. Absolutely by no stretch of the imagination having the remotest connection with anything terroristic. So I should be surprised that the President thinks it’s ok? Where have you all been sleeping? Give me some of the mind-bending drugs you’ve been taking for the past 6 years. Please.

    Comment by Tom Kaz — January 8, 2006 @ 1:11 am

    Uh, Tom, hate to embarrass you here, but anything higher than 50% IS the majority. See, if you take 100% (the highest % you can have), and divide it by two (the number of options you are given), you get 50%. Anything that receives 50.1% or higher (rounding to the tenths place), can claim an actual majority. So, since 52% is higher than 40% – it is officially a majority…. Faiz was correct.

    Comment by I-RIGHT-I #171

    I-Triflinscumbagrightwingbusha*slicker-I,

    “Hating so-called Christian conservatives”:

    neither you nor anyone else can ever make me (or any thinking Progressive American patriot) believe that the likes of Pat “the saintly Assasin” Robertson, Jerry “Tinky-Winky Falwell, Ralph “Christian coalition man of Abramoff graft” Reed, Hobnobbing Hobson, or George “Jeff Gannon Broke Back” Bushiva are anything more than “false prophets”, fake Christians and demons…

    Hating hypocrites will save our lives in the long run…

    At present, we’re loving our country enough to FIGHT for it, by speaking truth to power.

    Yes, I detest racist, bigoted, hypocritical, small minded, ultra conservative extremist Al Crackers (like yourself) because my chances of being imprisoned, attacked, and murdered are far greater for me at YOUR ilk’s hands, than some terrorist in a Toyota pickup or on a donkey…

    (Tim McVeigh wasn’t from Iraq, and there are plenty of his/your kind of treasonous terrorist cells around America, just visit red state.org, stormfront.org or any other white supremacist hate sites)…but then you already know that…

    YOU are America’s real enemies…

    Who cares about the poll? This is not some focus group. Bush admitted to committing a felony in a televised speech. I guess John Yoo wasn’t there to stop him. If he wants to claim it wasn’t a felony (it obviously was) give the scumbag his day in court, toss him in the slammer, and throw away the key.


  207. Innocent Bystander says:

    “If the Filthy Left thinks that put up polls and limp wristed threats of impeachment is going to keep Bush from stopping the next 9-11 you have seriously underestimated the man.”

    Don’t worry, disinfo-dude, after watching your AWOL, selected pResident sleep through 9/11, bog us down in Iraq, botch Katrina….nothing we do or don’t do will suddenly make your Maximum Leader competent. He certainly won’t be stopping the next attack. It’ll happen before the 2006 mid-term…these criminals need it to happen to distract and deflect.


  208. big papa says:

    I got lucky enough to get thru on C-Span one morning and asked a question of one of the writers from Mother Jones magazine. I asked him that given the bitterly politically polarized environment America is currently experiencing if he thought that America might someday revisit the civil war, to which he replied:

    “I don’t think the caller mean’t that literally. but what happened was that after 9/11 america experienced a (collective mental breakdown). the further away from 9/11 we get, the more people recover from this (collective madness).”

    I hope he’s right, but I kinda doubt it…and inbreds like I-triflin’-I, Puny hermaphrodite, and Scary Pookbutt reinforce my skepticism everyday!


  209. Giacomo says:

    Some things to always consider when looking at polls (as I said earlier) is poll sample and demographics. I’ve found the following on this particular poll …

    1. Party Leanings – The poll is slanted 52-40% towards Democrats, even though the voters in the 2004 election were split evenly at 37% between Republicans and Democrats.

    2. Religion – 19% of respondents had “no” religion, while in 2004 only 10% of voters had “no” religion, and they voted overwhelmingly for Kerry (+36%).

    3. Income Level of Respondents – In this poll 15% of respondents made under $15,000 per year. In 2004, only 8% of voters were in this income bracket, and voted 63-36% for Kerry.

    4. Marital Status – In this poll, only 56% of respondents are married. In 2004, 63% of voters were married, and voted 57-42% for Bush.

    5. Geography – In this poll, only 17% of respondents were from “rural” areas. In 2004, 25% of voters were from rural areas, and voted 57-42% for Bush.

    6. Race – In this poll, there were 71% white respondents and 12% Hispanic respondents. In 2004, 77% of voters were white, and only 8% Hispanic. Bush won the white vote 58-41% and Kerry the Hispanic vote 53-44%.

    Perhaps the headline should have been “President Bush, GOP unpopular among people who don’t vote for the GOP”.

    Comment by Giacomo #215

    jaggoffmore,

    These past five years, if there is any ONE fact that stands out about information- under the criminal Bushite junta- it’s that almost any information one can provide to bolster one’s claims can conversely (accurately) be disproved…

    One can only take the word of the person(s) attempting to prove his/her/their assertion(s) that the information he/she/it/they provided is in fact valid…

    Myself, I tend to cleave to the sage advice of Public Enemy, who advise that when it comes to most statistics we simply, “Can’t Trust It”…


  211. Giacomo says:

    These past five years, if there is any ONE fact that stands out about information- under the criminal Bushite junta- it’s that almost any information one can provide to bolster one’s claims can conversely (accurately) be disproved…

    Let me refer you to my post 21 … I don’t like any polls and don’t trumpet the results. They often (or can easily) reflect the pollers ideology.


  212. mighty aphrodite says:

    Like so many paranoid types who see a conspiracy under every Bush, two of my local libs sent a letter to the editor bashing Bush for warrantless wiretapping of Americans. People who are conspiring with AlQaeda aren’t purported to be Americans but, silly me, when have details ever mattered to Bush haters???


  213. Innocent Bystander says:

    MA-

    Do you really think that Bush cares about what Al Qaeda is doing? Hell no, in fact, he’s way too busy worrying what people learning about the width and depth of Republican corruption. In his own incompetent way, he’s probably praying for AQ to do something, anything, to get the American people distracted and afraid again. Just like before 9/11- neglect, stovepoint, and deflect info from being actioned.

    On the other hand, Bush and the Republican Syndicate’s growing criminal exposure is certainly a real threat to their personal security. Hence, warrantless wiretaps for the one group that does threaten their political and legal survival. The Democrats and a growing majority of Americans who recognize the threat to our civil liberties and democracy. It’s not paranoia, MA, it is a fact.

    I want to see Bush, Cheney, et al impeached and put on trial. I want them charged and convicted on crimes against humanity and crimes against this country.

    Does that make me a terrorist? Or a patriotic American citizen? Which side are you on MA?


  214. dude says:

    President Bush’s post Sept. 11, 2001, authorization to the National Security Agency to carry out electronic surveillance into private phone calls and e-mails is consistent with court decisions and with the positions of the Justice Department under prior presidents.
    …
    In the Supreme Court’s 1972 Keith decision holding that the president does not have inherent authority to order wiretapping without warrants to combat domestic threats, the court said explicitly that it was not questioning the president’s authority to take such action in response to threats from abroad.
    Four federal courts of appeal subsequently faced the issue squarely and held that the president has inherent authority to authorize wiretapping for foreign intelligence purposes without judicial warrant.

    In the most recent judicial statement on the issue, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review, composed of three federal appellate court judges, said in 2002 that “All the … courts to have decided the issue held that the president did have inherent authority to conduct warrantless searches to obtain foreign intelligence … We take for granted that the president does have that authority.”

    In other words, even the court that grants the warrants concedes that in certain situations, the warrants are not needed.


  215. » Police State says:

    [...] We’re not entirely there yet, but we’re getting pretty fucking close. And not too many people really seem to care. When did this country become so pussified? When I ride down the road and see leftover “W ‘04″ stickers, I don’t see Republicans – I see panty-waste dipshits that voted with their cowardice. Since when is government something we’re actually supposed to trust? And, if we should, why? Where is the fucking evidence that any of this illegal and unethical surveillance has done anyone any shred of good at all period? No convictions on anything post-9/11. No fucking RESULTS. [...]


  216. Sharon Cooper says:

    Bush, Cheney and their gang are nothing but Fascists. Now they are having the Pentagon look at your internet use, supposedly looking for people using porn sites. PLEASE!!!!! How anyone could swallow this B.S. is beyond me. This government has ceased to be a democracy. The media belongs to big business and won’t really begin to talk about this at legnth until they have no choice. It’s time to remove these criminals from office, and those members of Congress who won’t look into their crimes. IN OTHER WORDS, VOTE THOSE CORRUPT REPUBLICANS OUT OF OFFICE AND PUT PEOPLE IN WHO WILL DO WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO: PROTECT THE PEOPLE AND A DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT. Bush and Cheney will look SO GOOd in orange prison jumpsuits!!!


  217. john l says:

    people do not understand this issue, it is complicated and therefore much easier to just accuse the president of unlawful conduct rather then understand and explain the facts. when a government agency applies for a wiretap during any investigation, it applies for a warrent that covers the target of the investigation and that persons phone line. the government does not get individual warrents for every phone call or indiviual warrents for every person the target of the investigation talks to over the phone. for example, if i was to contact someone in this country who was the target of a drug investigation and their phone was tapped via a warrent, the government would have my phone conversation recorded even though they did not aquire a warrent to record MY phone calls. If the target of an investigation is in a foreign country then the government does not need a warrent since our constitutional protections are not extended to foreigners in foreign countries. If the target of the investigation is in the U.S. then a warrent is required and would be obtained. Some people hate bush so much that they would disagree with anything and everything he does, simply because he is doing it. You constantly hear pundits on tv and elsewhere complaining that bush is illegaly spying on american citizens, and while it may be true that american citizens may be one side of some of these recorded conversations, they are not being illegally spied on. basically it all boils down to not talking to suspected terrorists who reside in foreign countries over the phone, and if you must talk to foreign suspected terrorists then make sure you are not discussing terrorist activity, and if you are discussing terrorist activity then make sure you are both in the us when the call is made. those of you involved in petty crimes and drug dealing with still be afforded the same constitutional protections you always were.


  218. Mitch says:

    I really respect all of your views and I certainly don’t want my constitutional liberties sacrificed for any reason. After all, with so many loose interpretations of the Constitution to begin with, where will it leave us if we can’t have a right to our most basic principals. But you know what? I am willing to sacrifice a little of my liberties to prevent a terrorist attack. And you know what you probably don’t realize is that those who are being wiretapped are probably not American citizens. And if they are, then we may have a problem, but I would surmise that over 95% of those being wire tapped are foreigners whose only aim in this world is to harm America, her citizens, or her interests. Who really gives a rip if it’s illegal. So what, big freakin’ deal. Hey I have nothing to hide and you probably don’t either. But you know who does? Of course those who will go to the ends of the earth to do anything to harm American citizens. American citizens are not being wiretapped, and if they are, then they must be for some reason, i.e., perhaps they are connected to terrorism in some sort of way, and if they’re not, then the wiretaps will prove their innocence. But if they are connected, thank God we found out before they committed some atrocity against our people. Do you remember when the towers fell? I do. And I praise God above (yes, I said God, because this is a country founded on Christian principals) that we have a president willing to take a little gruff to protect America. This isn’t about Bush, it’s about America. Remember this country is pretty much split right down the political spectrrum so at least half of us are right and half of us are wrong. I would love to agree with you, but that would make us both wrong.

    Cheers,

    Mitch
