I wish I could believe this. But the covert stuff will continue.

Great...but they will get money from the "black ops" money bag...The Senate knows this so this could be just a snow job.

[Karsus]

This has to be a lie.

It has been proven that congress can't cut spending on ANYTHING :->

They will just move it over to the black side of the budget.

(tap-tap-tap) is this thing on?

I always assume the government is watching every move I make, or could certainly do so if it wished--TIA or not. Call it paranoia, or the fact that there are databases everywhere. You know what? I don't care. I know what my rights are, and I know that they take precedent over government. I'm willing to fight and die for my rights, and so are most conservative Americans. Big goverment should realize that.

I'm glad TIA is being shelved for now. I hope it is permanently gone. I don't believe the government lies to us as much as we think, though--they aren't that smart (post-Clinton administration, anyway).

PRAY FOR AMERICA.

. . . computer project that would scour databases for terrorist threats.

Sorry to dissagree but that sounds like a hell of a good idea. It would be the fastest way to shut down the terrorists, after all, we are in a war and we are on the front lines.

I don't like the idea in general and I would never trust Clinton with it but I think it's the fastest way to secure ourselves. I would also like to think that we are loaning the power to do this rather than giving the power and it would need close oversight.

Senate Blocks Funding for Pentagon Database

At least this is what the Iraqis would like us to believe.

The measure, introduced by Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat

Well, then, hooray for Sen. Wyden!
