Correct me if I'm wrong here, but wouldn't Hill have to change three things in a single sentence to make it true?

 "But the law that lets them listen in to phone calls from overseas by known terrorists expired two weeks ago."

That's the one I was referring to. What, you can't see what I'm thinking?

Not sure which sentance your thinking of Col. That last one would be ok by dropping an 't. The one before that would need greater changes, three might do it.

Oops missed your second post. Back to zee corner with the half-a-dunce hat.

 "But (part of)the law that lets them listen in to phone calls ( to or)from overseas by (anybody)expired two weeks ago."

There, that's all it took. She was confused.

When both sides of the aisle in the senate sub-committees are saying this is not the case, you know you're a Bush propagandist.

 

 

E.D. Hill is confused so why do they let her spew misinformation over the airwaves?  You know it is against the law for government to carryout psyops against their own people.  Faux repeating administration talking points without scrutiny and wallowing approvingly in the notion of being the mouthpiece of the Republican Party walk narrowly close to the line of the law.  Their should be an investigation of them and their ties because what they do is not report news but is more like dissemination of propaganda.  This site and others are full of examples of this and i can't help but think just like the Administration used Armstrong Williams to peddle its "No Child Left Behind' BS w/o disclosing he was being paid by this ADministration i wonder how many others there are out there?  Just a thought!

Admittedly rhetorical, but... 

Are there any "known terrorists" left in the world who are stupid enough to use a private telephone?  Much less use any phone to call a suspected accomplice in the U.S?

I find the reasoning to eliminate wiretap warrants to be more and more ridiculous all the time. 

Pete- keep up with the times, my man!  Turrists now use Morse Code, which the armed forces stopped using 2 years ago.  So now, we NEED PAA so when a terrorist calls Johnny in the U.S. and starts going 'dee-dee-do-it-deet-deet' over the phone, the government can quickly call up some old fogey who actually remembers the code to come on down to the white house to translate.   

Amy Goodwin in "The Exception To The Rulers" devotes a whole chapter to Psyops(Psychological warfare).She says in the chapter entitled "Psyops Comes Home"..."Psops is the military way of winning the hearts and minds of a population."  According to the DOD she says..."psyops is intended to induce or reinforce foreign attitudes and behavior favorable to the U.S...by planning and conducting operations to convey information to audiences to influence their emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of foreign governments,organizations,groups, and individuals."  She says the 1948 Smith-Mundt Act "prohibited the domestic dissemination of U.S. government propaganda..."I suggest people read this book especially this chapter and ask exactly what our government in particular this administration is doing.  I think enough red flags have been raised, especially in light of this "illegal" wiretapping of citizens, and torture and denial of habeus corpus to name a few. 

 

What is it with conservatives?

First David Brooks says on Meet the Press"I don't really understand the case" involving McCain and the letters he wrote to the Federal Communications Commission about an issue involving Paxson Communications.

Now Hill is confused about FISA.

It seems like they draw a blank when their political beliefs run smack into the wall of reality.

"Uh, I don't really know for sure and I'm kinda confused but I think that phone listening-thingie is, like, so totally over and, according to Brit Hume, we have the best news team anywhere in the Wolrd!"

make that  "World!"

Yea I get it!  Just like the President using the colloquial "folks" in his talk along with his drawl that appears and disappears in hias speech.  This is the same woman that played the "dumb blond" role on "Fox and Friends" when they initially aired it. She is but one spoke in a wheel of personalities spinning White House propaganda @ Faux News. Although it's still a mystery to mean which demographic she appeals to????

sorry should read: his and me.  Darn!!!

SAVE DEMOCRACY, VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT!!

This is the tenor of all the network coverage, and news coverage of this issue that we are not listening to terrorists because of the twilight of the Protect America Act. Let's not make this difficult for those whom are unaware. This is a lie.

We have had the ability to 'DATA MINE" for decades. The idea that we would allow our government to "DATA MINE' all calls in America, all emails in America, all wireless calls in America to sort through who they are interested in without any form of oversight either from Congress or the Courts, a secret court as allowed under FISA, 72 hours in advance of any warrant or not, would be the very definition of Fascists Big Brother subversion of our Constitution, and civil liberty to have any privacy.

No government in the world that calls itself a democracy would ever assert this insanity would be needed to protect it's security. We have no idea who the Bush Administration has been listening to for the past 6years since May of 2001. Thats right, 4 months before the 9/11/2001 attack!!

No terrorist, no terror cell, no plot has been foiled or discovered, no help has been proven to be a result of the civil liberty we surrendered to Al Quada! The real beneficiary has been the Bush Administration being able to stifle the Congressional investigations, to push through the Patriot Act, Military Commissions Act, and avoided any serious attempt to investigate the mountainous evidence of war profiteering, along with a endless list of corruption and incompetance.

This not to mention how the White House and Republican National Committee has managed to distroy millions of emails from the White House in clear violation of the law with impunity.

Happy Thoughts;
