YOU obviously overlooked that it was the Bush/Cheney justice department that put a stop to it. It's really unfortunate you have to be so lowly as to chastise someone for exercising his or her right to sink this story.

Just for that, I'm gonna retract my "vote" and give it a "sink," too. Not because I support what the FBI did, but because sinking the story so obviously annoys you.

They don't have a single, mean single solid verifiable proof of how it saved any lives. >>>>

What WOULD have 'saved lives' is if the twerp had paid attention to the warnings pre 9/11, and rice had spent more time doing her GD job instead of buying shoes.

Sorry, but past records of the FBI (such as having an informant spend months at Quaker peace meetings with detailed notes on each member including past histories and such) show exactly the opposite. They have plenty of money to waste on such invasions of privacy thanks to Bush, and apparently wasted no time in breaking the law.

Aren't you concerned about their breaking the law, seeing as how you're such a law-abiding citizen who upholds the constitution? Interesting how you never address that.

I'm sure you would care if the person doing it were a democrat, rather then a repub.

It is kind of pointless arguing with the far right about this. They believe that they need a father figure to protect them. All the figure has to do is mouth the proper things they want to hear (e.g. the terrorists hate us for our freedom), and they will give away all the constitutional protections that the founders of this nation fought for.

If any of them had a sense of history they would note some of the other places that the same thing has been said (i.e. it doesn't matter if the government knows everything we say or do if we've done nothing wrong). I'll give them a hint, not one of those places was a democratic republic. What they fail to realize is they don't know what the government might decide is wrong, and if government agents come to take them away, they will be presumed guilty and not allowed to defend themselves, innocent or not.

They rightly criticized Clinton when he took liberties with the constitution, but they really believe that Bush is on their side.

sort of like when hillary used the FBI to get files on their opposition ..which then disappeared..along with the people they hired to do it..but if its lib dems abusing power its for our own good ..right?

They are, and they should be prosecuted up the chain of command. No one is above the law.
