BTW, if you read the 9/11 Omission report they cite FISA as being too slow and cumbersome for fighting terrorists in the new information age.

Also it is too restrictive. When the FBI wanted to search the computer of Moussari (one of the 9/11/ plotters) the FISA request was turned down as not meeting the standard of probably cause. THIS WAS BEFORE THE 9/11 ATTACK. FISA rules may be the cause of the success of the 9/11 attack.

I think President Bush should change his tactics....and just defend the RED states....say if we uncover a plot to blow up SAN FRANCISCO....let it happen....let the blue boys and the MSN write it up. But have the President come out and say he could have stopped it..but he had to follow the Democrats ideas of civil liberties....and send a cheap flag to drape on their coffins.....also no Federal aid...because he could have prevented it..but it was what the "people" of San Francisco wanted....I am mad as hell..I think we are killing ourselves...and the terrorists are just laughing...
