"The Enemy Is listening" Says AG Gonzalez
2006-02-07
Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales warned the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday about the sensitive nature of President Bush's warrantless surveillance program aimed at capturing communications between terrorist plotters.

"Our enemy is listening," he said during testimony before the committee. "I cannot help but wonder if they aren't shaking their heads in amazement at the thought that anyone would imperil such a sensitive program by leaking its existence in the first place, and smiling at the prospect that we might now disclose even more or perhaps even unilaterally disarm ourselves of a key tool in the war on terror."

#11  Al Qaeda Bill of Rights, founding fathers are (burp) Kennedy, Shumer, Di-Fi (one mother)--all intellects in their own right.

This could not be any more clear. Unfortunately, the majority of critics of the surveillance program still don't seem to get this.

#9  Heh. I don't care about political capital - I want to see the assholes in friggin' pinstriped jumpsuits and chains doin' the perp-walk on the evening news.

#8  I don't think there's much political capital to be gained from this while muslims are burning embassies around the world over CARTOONS.

#7  Much is riding on this... For example, we'll see if the law is, or isn't, the law.

If it is, and the assholes are ridden to ground, then gloves on domestically.

If not, then woe be unto the assholes, for when the gloves do come off, they will be lost for a long long time.

#5  These senators think that they are immune from consequences of leaking, or they get their lackeys cads staffers to do it. A couple of examples made of these traitors and the problem will solve itself. Robert Crawford is right: prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Only the trial will be a circus, if the senator had any say in it. A pox upon their houses for being such traitors.

#4  And if it was Rockefeller as the intel community currently believes, he should be kicked off the Intelligence Committee.

ITYM, "he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law".

#3  And the information leaked for publication in W. Va. It would be interesting to know where W. Va. ranks in the proportion of population that is veteran. I doubt he'd be re-elected and that's the best thing that could happen to him and the rest of the donks who toy in traitorism.

#2  It should go without saying, but sadly it had to be said. Who knows what will come of it.

Still wondering if anything will come out of the leak investigation. Even if it was a US Senator, he should be hauled in front of a GJ. And if it was Rockefeller as the intel community currently believes, he should be kicked off the Intelligence Committee.

Only one problem with this appeal--It assumes that the listener is sane and loyal.
