LIVE THREAD: SJC hearing on the NSA surveilance program - C-span 1; 9:30 am EST

Posted on 02/06/2006 6:08:53 AM PST by ken5050

Good Monday morning, once again, fellow political jinkies. The NFL season may be over, but the political season inside the Beltway is 24/7/365. So join us, if you can, as those wacky Dems on the Senate Judiciary committee reprise their pitiful efforts to once again smear President Bush and score political points..

it's in Yemen! Yemen is Arabic for "lip-service". In the Arab countries, Mr Joe Camel(jockey...sorry couldn't resist), stands 4-square behind OBL. These countries are NOT our allies.

"huh? Are Schumer and Bloomburg going to get married?"

LOL .. no, just post who Schumker's wife is

IRIS WEINSHALL, the city's transportation commissioner, said her department could not release the ferry rules and regulations because they are part of the investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board. But that investigation could take months. Nobody is going to wait, especially not the families of the dead and injured.

Ms. Weinshall asks the public and the news media to resist speculating and focus on helping the victims. So far, the office of Staten Island's borough president, James P. Molinaro, is raising money through a nonprofit corporation, and Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum and the Bloomberg administration are helping get insurance coverage for the injured who are uninsured.

I'm getting a headache.

I'm already there!

Me too. Plus all the hot air is making me sweat.

Are the rest of the Senate Committees as thoroughly disgusting and filled with blowhards and fops as this one?

It is thoughts on the idiocy and the lack of responsibility for our safety as well as the safety of his Children on Chuckie Schmuckie's part.

No, they are not our allies. Bet that doesn't stop the flow of Happy Ramahdan cards sent from the DNC each year.

Hamdi is a crappy parallel. Hamdi was captured in Afgahnistan.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1545787/posts?page=124#124

After Congress passed a resolution--the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF)--empowering the President to "use all necessary and appropriate force" against "nations, organizations, or persons" that he determines "planned, authorized, committed, or aided" in the September 11, 2001, al Qaeda terrorist attacks, the President ordered the Armed Forces to Afghanistan to subdue al Qaeda and quell the supporting Taliban regime. Petitioner Hamdi, an American citizen whom the Government has classified as an "enemy combatant" for allegedly taking up arms with the Taliban during the conflict, was captured in Afghanistan and presently is detained at a naval brig in Charleston, S. C.

THIS SAYS IT ALL:

Eavesdropping is less heavy-handed than firing missiles or holding terrorists in detention. Supreme Court found it was appropriate to detain an American citizen for fighting alongside al-Qaida. "How can it be that merely listening to al-Qaida phone calls into and out of the country in order to disrupt their plots is not?"

I say we should outlaw such hot air to guard against global warming.

Judge Napolitano on Fox just said that one of the senators got upset with something that was said in one of those meetings and decided to leak it.

Did anybody else hear that? Does anybody else know anything about that?
