Good try. ;-)

More on the illegal traffic analysis/wiretapping issues.

Ryan Singel has an excellent analysis of Bush's speech
today in which he responded (or not) to the NSA charges
over on 27B Stroke 6:

I highly suggest people read this and absorb the _facts_.

Also, one quote of note by Patrick Leahy earlier today:

[snip]

Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, the ranking Democrat on the
Senate Judiciary Committee, sounded incredulous about the
report and railed against what he called a lack of congressional
oversight. He argued that the media was doing the job of Congress.

“Are you telling me that tens of millions of Americans are
involved with al-Qaida?” Leahy asked. “These are tens of
millions of Americans who are not suspected of anything.

"... Where does it stop?”

The Democrat, who at one point held up a copy of the newspaper,
added: “Shame on us for being so far behind and being so willing
to rubber stamp anything this administration does. We ought to
fold our tents.”

Hear, hear.

Thats a big step Ferg! What would you do if it was McCain vs Clinton?
Do we think the evil would end with a "real" republican?
