Just as an update to my earlier post about our lying Attorney General (http://scooterm.blogspot.com/2008/03/just-facts-maam.html). It turns out I am not alone on questioning this.
Some people have picked up on the fact that the Attorney General's story (in which he tries to justify the approval of FISA) is completely new. And they asked the 9/11 commission if it was true.
You see, our government directed a commission to investigate 9/11. And the government (even Bush) agreed to give them all the information they had. And, while they did have some information about calls from Yeman, this was the first time the commission heard about a call from Afganistan. The Attorney General has given brand new information, informatoin that was never given to a comission the government created to get to the bottom of the 9/11 attacks on our country.
So once again, I must ask. Did the Administration hide this information earlier? The consensus from the Bush Administration is no, they did not. They gave everything to the comission - EVERYTHING they had.
So our Attorney General lied and used the memories of 3,000+ dead Americans to get a law passed. OVER THREE THOUSAND dead Americans, both civilians working in New York and Military working at the Pentagon are now used as a prop for this lying bastard who is in charge of nation's legal system. Even if you are for the law - the lying use of dead American's as props should upset you.
If that doesn't piss you off, image Hillary Clinton saying that if she was President in 2001, these people wouldn't have died. This infuriating isn't it? Well, Hillary never said it. Our nation's chief law enforcement officer made a similiar case though in the FISA law. Forget that he is wrong (as I said, we are alowed to bug coversations from outside the country anyway). Doesn't it piss you off at all?
Are we so tainted that this Adminstration can trash the memories of America dead at will? Okay, I'll drop it.
