When I was a soldier (or if I still was)these things didn't matter to me; People back home putting a flag on their porch. People back home putting magnets on their cars. People telling all their friends they support the troops. People writing blogs, articles. Welcome home rallies. Politicians who say they support the troops, but send me in harm's way without the training and equipment I neede

This is not really news, reports of these documents have been going around for about 3 months now. The key word from all this is in ShadowWars headline; "hints". From what I've read about them here Link there has been no definitive link established by these papers linking Al Qaeda and Saddam. And this is coming from a very conservative r

Dare I ask what happens when you "get started"? Just ask around. I really think you must be mistaken about how you're perceived.

As far as "I'm" concerned, you did serve. What happened was not your fault. You went of your own accord and tried to put in your time. And before anyone says something stupid....YES, I have served! 6 years USN. "I" voulunteered and I am "not" some ignorant idiot like some around here like to try to make military volunteers ou

Just an FYI....next time ask before you bother to speak! Right winger HAS served! Have you? Next time ask yourself jackass. I knew about RW's enlistment and discharge a while ago. And yes, if you've paid attention around here at all, you'd know that I did serve in the Army. Active duty for 4 years.

I guess you don't read so well, eh? I'm not defending Belzer, he got heated up and put his foot in his mouth. However, there was more to it than what's being reported here and elsewhere. Perhaps if you'd actually served in the military, especially overseas, you'd know that soldier

Yeah...only a putz would say something like; Belzer: "Ok. No one is questioning the nobility and the honor that these men and women are serving and what they're doing. No one questions that. Now they're targets and they're not going... and their just protecting each other and they're in the middle of a civil war. So it's really not fair to have these people, who volunteered their lives to protect our nation under false pretenses, to now be targets... " I'm not defen

If it is widely accepted, you will have no problem proving it. So do it, and quit dodging around. let all of us ordinary people see all the court orders. Or are you just accepting someones word as a fact? That cannot be. For you would never be so stupid to do such a silly thing. Let you see all

Because I don't care much for jerk-offs that want everybody else to do research for them! Next time don't be so thin-skinned. There was "nothing" hostile in my last reply to you. There is this time.

Dont be silly yourself. You stated a fact. A fact is proveable. So prove it. I don't have to prove anything. I stated a widely accepted fact. If you have proof otherwise feel free to share it.

My problem is that both it and Eschelon were a wider net than Bush is asking for, which was cast during peacetime for reasons much less imperative and dire. And yet, no outrage against Dollar Bill. Yes, they were potentially bigger nets, although we don't really know how big the net is with this NSA program. But, they got warrants. <B

What about purely domestic surveillance would require a FISA warrant? This would involve a completely different process. Is there proof that Echelon did this, and did it without a warrant?

I'm not 100% certain, but I believe both Echelon & Carnivore were in fact domestic surveillance programs, to what extent actually deployed being a subject of continuing debate. Yes, I realize that Echelon was a domestic program (not sure about carnivore), but there has never been evidence shown that any

So.....when presidents use it in peacetime, and with proper warrants, it's okay. But in wartime, when time is often of the essence and the situation desperate, they still should go through proper channels and red tape, often perhaps even facing hostile judges? Bullshit, davad. You're ignoring the fact

So you're saying that if it's done for the "right" reason (in your judgement), it doesn't chill free speech? No, I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying that they did not conduct electronic eavesdropping without warrants and outside of FISA. Much has been made of the Clinton administration's u

Perhaps you can explain, though, why it didn't "chill" free speech when Clinton did it, or Bush 41, or Reagan, or Carter, or Ford, or Nixon......especially Nixon. If you do a little research you will discover that the circumstances involved in the other Presidents were quite different.

The "they" I'm referring to are the democrats and the left in general! As far as me using quotation marks I guess you don't do a lot of blogging, do you?

What's the matter can't stand the pressure? Like he said, put up or shut up. If there was "any real" evidence they'd be doing A LOT more than calling for a censure!

Even in Districts that went heavily for Kerry in 04, the Democrats are having a hard time fielding candidates. District or districts (plural)? No, the low poll numbers for Bush won't affect the 06 elections a whole lot, but the even lower approval ratings for thr GOP controlled Congress might.
