The world's got me dizzy again. You'd think after 22 years, I'd be used to the spin.

Dirty Greek - Bush and FISA B.S.
  Politics : Bush and FISA B.S.
You are NOT on the DirtyGreek.Org homepage. Please CLICK HERE to go there.

President Bush warned Friday the United States is in "more danger of attack" because Congress failed to extend legislation on domestic wiretapping laws allowing the government without a warrant to listen in on phone calls and intercept e-mails by foreign terrorist suspects that are transmitted through this country.
Story here. This whole thing is hilarious, because it's exactly what Daniel Ellsberg was talking about when I saw him speak at Wake Forest University. Bush says we're in "more danger of attack" because congress won't legalize something he's already doing and will continue to do. Also, the FISA courts have rejected about 3 requests, ever. AND, not only that, but they can get permission for wiretapping RETROACTIVELY, after they've already done the spying!

It's some of the stupidest mumbo jumbo I've seen in a while to attack the opposition for something they simply aren't doing. Of course, the Democrats will continue to bend and find ways to allow the spying to go on. They even say so in that article:
"He knows that the underlying 'intelligence' law and the power given to him in the Protect America Act give him sufficient authority to do all of the surveillance and collecting that he needs to do in order to protect the American people," House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Thursday.
