US probes eavesdropping leak

[Michele 1]

Jeanne, I read a whole lot. For Christmas, I got a gift certificate to Barnes and Noble, and it's already gone. 9 books...

So likely I'll end up reading this book, too. What I'll chalk it up to is something else altogether, seeing as I haven't read it yet I can't say word one about it.

Don't sell everyone short; there are readers here, I promise.

Happy New Year!

Ciels-
Michele

Welllllllllll looks like we got ourselves a reader herrre.

9 books?

Looks like you've got a busy year ahead.

skydvr: substitue 'ultra right' for 'American' or 'dz.com members' and you'd be close to my feelings on the subject.

TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.

There's more than one kind of "reading", but in any case it seems sort of dumb to identify the members of an Internet forum where people come to read and write opinions as a group that doesn't "read".

Ok, I rethunk it and the statement stands. All I'll add is "for the most part".

It'll go away in a few hours, five minutes before I get the huge revelation you must be pointing to.

Yes, I am.

I believe we should "expand their use" to indicate "emphasis" on certain words, or, like this "bitch" I used to know, use them as "exclamation points" incessantly.

I "tend" to "agree" 'but' if "ever" you in such cases where special characters are used "we\'ll" have to "escape them\!"\.

I'm only a "server farm administrator". How to include "special characters" in code completely "escapes" me.

This is "usually" the bit where the forum "decides" that "we\'re" trying to hack "it\!"

"Now, by the way, any time you hear the United States government talking about wiretap, it requires-a wiretap requires a court order. Nothing has changed, by the way. When we're talking about chasing down terrorists, we're talking about getting a court order before we do so. It's important for our fellow citizens to understand, when you think Patriot Act, constitutional guarantees are in place when it comes to doing what is necessary to protect our homeland, because we value the Constitution."

It's amazingly ironic that you have a James Bond motif this week.

Of course they're not screaming - they don't care. It's all about embarassing GWB, you see.

Tell us how his statement was not a lie, Anvil.

I've got a better idea. Why don't you tell us why we SHOULD take the Dems seriously on security issues in light of their recent actions?

The Plame joke elicited outrages of Brobdingnagian proportions from the left and their sycophant media. "Compromised national security!", "Personal vendetta by GWB against Wilson!", "Dear God the damage done having our secrets revealed!" - all three themes (among others with regards to the Plame affair) dominated the media and the left's congressional mouthpieces for quite some time.

Now let's compare that with the Lilliputian response by the same leftists to a few things that actually have/had the potential to do some damage:

- Beger-gate. "I'm not surprised. I've seen Sandy's desk/office." - El Jefe Clintonista. Yeaaaaaah buddy. He cares about stealing superduperdoubletopsecret documents out of the national archives. Not a lot on this from the left's congressional mouthpieces nor their sycophant media either. In fact, I don't think you can refer me to ONE of the leftists screaming during Plame-gate who was outraged that this occurred.
- CIA Prisons. Find me a link or just give me a reference for ONE of the Dems crowing during Plame-gate wondering how this tid-bit of info was revealed and what should be done to prevent such leaks in the future. Just ONE, my dear Kallend.
- Patrick Leahy. 'nuff said there.
- NSA leak. Where oh where is the left leaning member of Congress - hell, I'll settle for even a governor - screaming about the leak of classified information here? They sure were screaming about the importance of security over Ms. Plame, weren't they?
- Technology transfer regulation relaxation under El Jefe Clintonista. Damn, the Chinese sure appreciated that, didn't they? Their former lobbyist, Mr. Berger WAS the NSA then, wasn't he? Don't recall any of the Plame-gate screamers commenting back then either. Perhaps you can refer me to something there as well.

The fact is, good Kallend, that the actions and words of the leftists - or lack thereof - are what indicates to me that they don't care. Tell me - why do you think they care?

Darn me. I forgot to work a Johnny Huang reference in there. Must be because I've been drinking tea and have to piss...I'm sure you'll excuse me.

So you can't explain how Bush's statement was not a lie. Why not just be honest about it (I hope you caught the irony there).

Perhaps I'm missing something. To which statement are you referring?

I note you give me no reason to take leftists seriously on security matters. May I assume the reason is that you're incapable of doing so?

I need some more iced tea. I don't even have a Chinese spy - OOPS! I meant lobbyist - in here. Then again I'm not at the White House...

Because Clinton got a blowjob and lied about it, of course.

[rushmc 23]

Unless I am missing something your quote is speaking to the rules regarding the Patriot Act, right?

The NSA wire taps are not related to the Patriot Act. The NSA power to tap came from a vote in Congress and and excutive order. (the same orders that have been signed by Carter, Regean, Bush 1 Clinton and now Bush 2) so, if he speaks of an unrealed topic he can't be telling and untruth no can he?

Also, funny how billvon likes to keep bring up the BJ not anint it

[rushmc 23]

I would like you to know tha I understand your concern. We the people must stay vigilant to maintain our freedoms. But until you anger/ discust/outrage (pick one) becomes a consitant outrage regarless of who is in power, I will have a hard time paying much attention. (ie, get Bush or any Republican in power)

Such as for me, anybody that ends up in the Abromoff bed needs to be thrown out of congess and maybe sent to jail. I don't care what party they are in.

I suppose an Ultra Rightie might think of think of this as reading, but we were actually talking about a thing called a book... a literary form of expression. You should try picking one of those up some time.
Oh and they usually dont have a whole lot of pictures... so no new callouses will occur.

Your one warning. Clever insults don't get you any leeway.
