You won’t see this anywhere else:

A federal judge on Wednesday said the George W. Bush administration illegally eavesdropped on the telephone conversations of two American lawyers who represented a now-defunct Saudi charity.

The lawyers alleged some of their 2004 telephone conversations to Saudi Arabia were siphoned to the National Security Agency without warrants. The allegations were initially based on a classified document the government accidentally mailed to the former Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation lawyers. The document was later declared a state secret and removed from the long-running lawsuit weighing whether a sitting U.S. president may create a spying program to eavesdrop on Americans’ electronic communications without warrants.

    It is obviously photoshopped.

    Wow, this story isn’t something I’d normally take seriously, but damned if that Hitler picture didn’t change my mind!”

    Benji, Benji, Benji.

    Reportage 101: Never start a sentence with “It is obvious that . . . . ” unless you are being obviously sarcastic==which only occurs 50% of the time.

    I thought about posting: “Holy Cow!–They’re wearing the same jacket!!”

    See the difference?

    ((It should be obvious!))

    Amazing how many of you people refuse to see that this is not a matter of crimes and rights but a matter of WAR. Real war between Islamists and those who refuse to submit.

    The constitutional right to protection from search and seizure doesn’t apply to espionage in war. And the “now defunct charity” was a fund-raising arm of Al Queda, its lawyers in league with the sworn enemies of America.

    Lawyers to the front! There are enemies who need representation and release on technicalities!

  5. bobbo, making the world better one criticism at a time says:

    #44–Sweeney==its been said many times. Corrupt Leaders need war, real or imaginary, to justify the removal of rights from the people.

    Don’t be a sucker.

  6. Uncle Patso says:

    Who knows? Maybe there is hope for the rule of law after all.

    Eventually.

    At least President Obama takes American law seriously, unlike Bush’s give-a-shit attitude, where every department just got sloppy. For example, current immigration law is now actually being enforced — deportations are up, way, way up from two years ago. I don’t say that’s bad or good, but at least the law as it stands is being carried out seriously.

    #2 It is also one that has the unqualified support of progressive/socialists such as Obama. A pox on both of them.
