Okay before I go off half-assed. Why did the NY Times withold their story for a year because of national security only to release it now. What's the difference between then and now? The story is "still" a risk to national security. Add this to the fact that congress "was told" about what was going on.

After the special program started, Congressional leaders from both political parties were brought to Vice President Dick Cheney's office in the White House. The leaders, who included the chairmen and ranking members of the Senate and House intelligence committees, learned of the N.S.A. operation from Mr. Cheney, Lt. Gen. Michael V. Hayden of the Air Force, who was then the agency's director and is now a full general and the principal deputy director of national intelligence, and George J. Tenet, then the director of the C.I.A., officials said.

Even the Times article makes the case that GW broke no laws.

Apparently some fools think that if an enemy happens to be an American he or she is less a threat that if the enemy is an Arab. These bigoted fools would have us reading miranda rights to people as they set off bombs, and/or get warrants as the enemy Emails targeting data to their compatriots abroad.

To fools like Colon Gangrene, Murtha, Reid and the NYT, the Constitution is the best weapon our enemies have at their disposal.

These fools would gladly watch another 9/11 occur, firm in the knowledge that they could blame Bush for it.

What do these pro terrorist scumbags think the words "Protect the Constitution of the United States against All Enemies, Foreign or Domestic" meant when they lied on their various oaths of office anyway?

The actions of Bush MUST by reviewed by the Supreme Court and will settle ALL the speculation. If Bush broke the law, he should be REMOVED from office.

No, the SCOTUS is not the dictators of the land.  It is not a MUST Col Klink.  The only sure things in life are death, taxes, and you Being wrong

Heads may need to roll STARTING at 1600 PA Ave and then on to the State Dept, U S Attorney and the members of Congress that knew about this action. 9/11 did not change the Supreme Court ruling. We need a new ruling from the Supreme Court ASAP.

How about starting with yours?

Heads can't roll STARTING at 1600 Pennsylvania, becuase it will take months at least to figure out if Bush actually broke any laws.

On the other hand, what we do know, right now, is that this was a secret operation and that its cover was blown by the New York Times. It seems to me that we could easily get started on the head-rolling down there, while we work on figuring out if anybody else besides the NYT reporters broke any laws.

Reporters have apparently broke the law, members of Congress have apparently broken the law, terrorists have broken the law... but fools don't care... as long as they can keep their seat on the pathetic "Bash Bush Bus", they're happy.

The next terrorist attack will be thanks to Colon Gangrene, Harry Reid, Murtha and the New York Times.

Happy bombing Gene.

Well they had to wait for the Iraqi elections. They couldn't let good news like that take front page.

You just don't seem to get it do you? After 9/11 EVERYTHING changed "INCLUDING" your vaunted 93 ruling!


Terrorist attacks change legal precedents? Really?

I'm sure the terrorists will be delighted to hear that.


If you doubt this Gene just go look at the patriot act.
