I hate to say it, but if al Qaeda drops the big on on ol' Anna, I won't be shedding any tears.

Can I answer that when I get back from the mall?

LOL. I'm laughing, through a thick cloud of cynicism.

Do you take issue with folks who converse with known terrorists that utilize known phone numbers that may have been culled form laptops and other sources as part of raids the last few months overseas?

Of course. It's an absurd comment, designed specifically to avoid answering the question. Why circumvent the FISA law? Please respond directly to the question without hyperbole.

Yes, today at Camp David. I'm sorry I didn't make that clear.

I suspect you have revealed yourself for what you are, sorry about that. ;-)

I have never seen him so down. His body language,his tone of voice,his state of distraction.

Two and a half months before the midterm elections. We cannot afford this. I wonder if all the incessant hatred dumped on him by the Democrats and the MSM, along with the spinelessness of congressional Republicans, is finally getting to him. God be with Pres. Bush.

Please explain.

He is not circumventing the law

From what I understand, a warrant is required to wiretap an American citizen. Apparently some of those warrants are not being requested by or granted to the NSA.

No, you asked me if I took issue with people contacting known terrorists. I answered "of course."

I saw that .. I may be wrong about you, frankly, the jury is still out.

I just find your accusation that he is doing things outside of the statute interesting.

What is your understanding of what he has done other than what has been authorized and on the books since 1978?

Go ahead and ignore the facts, at your own, and everyone else's , peril.

So impeach him, if you have proof of this.

I would generally agree with you - but I do not trust the SCOTUS - the same 5 judges who ruled on the Gitmo case, re-drafting Geneva rights et al - that voting block is dangerously comprimised regarding these national security cases.

it could go 5-4 either way.

Warrants are not needed to gather information to stop terrorist attacks. Warrants are only needed to gather information pursuant to filing a criminal action.

Read the 4th amendment and its interpretation.

Amendment IV:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Not that I have a problem with our Presidents actions, but where is the part about terrorists?

Oh, another one who has nothing productive to add, so falls back on vicsious personal attack. I should have known.

I can't begin to imagine the pressure he's under.But even though he seemed down, he managed to convey his extreme disgust at that hideous, dangerous ruling. His spirit isn't broken by any means,but he sure seemed troubled.How could he not be?
