Kerry Backs Port Deal If NSA Taps UAE Calls
Scrappleface ^ | February 23, 2006 | Scott Ott

Posted on 02/23/2006 10:56:13 AM PST by Kaslin

Sen. John Kerry, D-MA, announced today that he would back the sale of a British company that manages U.S. seaports to a state-owned firm in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) only if President George Bush will order the National Security Agency (NSA) to secretly wiretap phone calls and emails involving Dubai Ports World.

“If an emir in Dubai is talking to an American port manager, at the gateway of a major city, we want to know why,” said Sen. Kerry. “and we can’t allow the whiners in the civil rights movement to jeopardize our national security in the name of the so-called right to privacy.”

Sen. Kerry rejected calls for the UAE wiretaps to be approved by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court.

“We’re not trying to build a legal case,” said Sen. Kerry, “We’re protecting our homeland from a potential devastating terror strike. People need to wake up to the fact that we’re living in a post-9/11 world.”

now that is "public" what Kerry wants, it is no longer secret. Obviously, he wants it to be known "Kerry's support" in the war against Terrorism. How lame of him, ehh?

It would appear as if the globalists are lining up on one side of this issue, and those who value American soverignty are lining up on the other.

It's actually a good idea...except that since he plastered it all over the news it's not a secret anymore!

Before I open a Scrappleface post, I play this little game where I try to guess how many people will post replies treating the OP as serious before anyone realises...

Finally! I have been saying to myself "this has got to be a Scrappleface article" about a dozen times over the last week or 2 (Clinton, Gore, Carter, the White House press corp, etc.) - now, finally, I am right!

You can't tell fact from fiction with those jokers.
