The U.S. government is still investigating who leaked the secret warrantless eavesdropping program, which was first revealed by The New York Times in December 2005.
You didn’t think the hypocrite-in-chief was going to let this particular leak go. Did you?
Agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation searched the home of former Justice Department lawyer Thomas Tamm last week in an effort to determine who leaked details of the program to the media.
The agents, who had obtained a classified search warrant, took Tamm’s desktop computer, two laptops belonging to his children and some of Tamm’s personal files.
Bush signed a bill on Sunday, which extends the government’s authority to eavesdrop on the international phone calls and e-mail messages of U.S. residents without court warrants.
Another example of cutting-edge legislation from the Congressional amalgum of corrupt Republikans and spineless Dems.
Fucking Leninist/ Trotskyite/ Marxist/ commie pinko fags. Anybody responsible for revealing that Dumbya has shredded the Constitution, pissed on America’s body of law, made a joke of civil liberties, lied repeatedly to the country and the world (not to mention failing to ‘fess up to whatever that “rectangular object” was under his jacked during the debates)??
They should be waterboarded until almost dead, have women’s panties put on their head, and beaten senseless by Lynndie England (http://tinyurl.com/2986o9)
I don’t get it… why is so important to know who leaked the information.
The most important thing is to find a way to give freedom to people and some respect. What is the constitution for? (and the little text that goes: “The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America”)
Well Fitzgerald took about 3 years for his leak investigation, so it’s not too surprising that this investigation is still running. Ken Starr finished his leak investigation very fast, but then he only had to look at his staff for suspects.
hahahahahahahahahahaha — this is EXACTLY why i fear secret” wiretaps conducted by our nation’s government — THEY CAN’T KEEP A SECRET
the cynic in me believes that this is a PR move designed to achieve two goals:
1.) grind out the news stories about secret wiretapping to the point where no one cares any more.
2.) further perpetrate the myth that warrantless police/intelligence activity makes you any safer
Wow grog, I started to read your post and thought it was ECA until I saw you bullets…
For want of a pair of balls, the Dems go tumbling down! etc.
ECA = European Cockpit Association?
what do you mean?
Come on guys you don’t think Bush or any other prez would use this for political purposes
Exuberant
Capitalization
Adept
The Dems have balls, they are just as corrupt as the recorplicans. Jeesh people open your eyes, it is not a Democrat vs Republican problem. It is a US vs Them problem.
Both parties have sold out to special interests. All we are seeing here is PR management and spin in order to sell the American public a bill of goods that will maintain the status quo and tighten the control of federal government.
Frankly Eideard you are part of the problem. Continuing the farce that it is one party or the other that is corrupting America just conceals the fact that it is BOTH OFTHE PARTYS screwing the public.

Naw, Eidard is not part of the problem. Dickless pieces of shit are the problem. And that includes ventriloquists’ dummies like Dumbay who can’t stand up to their Edgar Bergens, spinless Dems who follow whatever Little King George’s handlers say to torch the US Constitution, and all the rest.
I can’t speak for Eidard, but if a fucking asshole like Dumbya was in power and was a Democrat, I would be every bit as critical as I am of Dumbya.
It’s just that the Republican party seems to attract the fucking assholes. Not black and white, but certainly a majority rule.
#11, Mister Mustard,
I echo your remarks.
Just to add, I firmly believe that all these people screaming how there is no difference between the Democrats and Republicans don’t vote anyway. THEY are part of the problem and are far from being part of the solution.
Why what an outrage that the government should investigate leaks of top secret information. They should just be conducting everything openly, and let the NYT reveal where they plan to attack and how.
#10 – you really should try reading here, regularly and with something open other than your mouth. I haven’t seen any editors with loyalty to anything other than pointing out corruption and hypocrisy – and a commitment to science. If that doesn’t fit your agenda – well [edit: see comments guide]
#13 – is it possible that once, just once, you might construct a comment that isn’t a non sequitur or relies entirely on a straw man argument?
#11
Spreading Mustard on the problem solves nothing. Name calling solves nothing. Sticks and stones, typical partisan bickering that goes nowhere. Maintaining that the democrats are superior to republicans (as Eidard does in most of his political posts) or vice versa is just hiding the fact that both parties are screwing the American public for all their worth (literally).
If Americans want change they need to quit electing these ‘Dickless pieces of shit’ as you call em. They need to open their eyes and see that BOTH major parties are screwing them every chance they can. What America needs is less federal presence. Less profiteering politicizations.
Arrogant dickweeds with no integrity who are only out for themselves…
Hillary – Check
Algore – Check
Kerry – Check
Ted Kennedy – Check
Harry Reid – Check
Pelosi – Check
Boxer – Check
Liberman – no check (woops, he’s not a Dem anymore)
Obama – Check
Franken – Big Check
Edwards – Check
I don’t think the percentage is that different between parties.
They Democrats certainly haven’t improved Congress: http://tinyurl.com/3ds2cc (feel free to rip the source but that doesn’t change the facts of the article)
The bottom line is we’re not going to see a viable third party any time soon so you might as well quite worrying about it. Have a beer and treat it all as a spectator sport. No point in stressing about it.
Hey grog,
I meant the person who posts here regularly under the pseudonym of ECA…

I have been reading Dvorak stuff since Boardwatch magazine, rip. I have been reading this blog since its inception. My agenda is truth, don’t tell me you have a problem with that.
As for Eidard, I actually enjoy his posts, it is always good to see all sides of an issue. My pointing him out was just using his rhetoric as an example of whats wrong. I meant nothing personal and I am glad I live in a country where he can say what he wants. I want the USA to remain a country where debate and differing opinion is allowed.
>>Why what an outrage that the government should investigate
>>leaks of top secret information.
No, what an outrage that the government should spend millions upon milliions of dollars investigating and trying to fuck whoever it was that revealed to the American public that the GOVERNMENT WAS BREAKING THE LAW. You know, DOING THINGS THAT ARE AGAINST THE LAW? Like treason, murder, rape, kidnapping, and the Pandora’s box of mischief that Dumbya and his string-pullers have been up to.
Bet you’d have had Erin Brockovich put to death too, huh?
Too bad Dumbya and his cronies weren’t smart enough to have understood the sophisticated, nuanced concepts of TV when they were growing up. Maybe they would have understood “If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime”.
What do you expect from a man that swore an oath to protect and defend the constitution of the United States, and then later said he didn’t care about it because (and this is a direct quote) “it’s just a g*d Da**ed piece of paper”.
#17, iHotAir
Yes, very good point. The source shows there is a complete lack of ethics, on his part. The list of Republican illegalities committed while he was the House Leader is tremendous.
So what is your point?
And the list of Democratic illegalities is growing as we all sit here and bloviate.
>>And the list of Democratic illegalities is growing as we all
>>sit here and bloviate.
Care to list a few?
not really following the ‘the hypocrite-in-chief’ part. Please elaborate.
#24 – I just posted a link to one instance. Get over the author and reread what actually happened. If you want to put the blinders on and believe that people like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to name a couple are any less slimy than any of the worst pricks that have ever been in Congress, I can’t help you. The Dem led Congress we are suffering with right now is no better than any other Congress we’ve ever had no matter who led it. So much for integrity.
>>I just posted a link to one instance. Get over the author
>>and reread what actually happened.
Yeah, I did. And while it’s a little hard to “get over” Tom DeLay pontificating about ethical issues in the House of Representatives, I think Ihave a good idea of what happened.
If the vote had been conducted properly, the “Democrats” would have won. Because the dimwitted dimwitted Congressman In The Big Chair didn’t know when to gavel the vote to a close, he did it BEFORE all the votes were in. And in an apparent attempt to relive the glory days of the 2000 presidential “election”, the Republicans tried to slip a fast one over on their colleagues, and declare that they had “won”, in a sleazy and unethical technical end-run around the true wishes of the voters. They did not succeed (unlike the 2000 elections).
If this is the most egregious instance of Democratic lawbreaking you can come up with, I’d say we’ve got the most honest House of Representatives in the history of the nation! Haw!
And as to it being a “Democratic Congress”, pfffft. Only half (plus a few) of the representatives are Dems. All those sleaze-bag Bush-sucking hangovers from before everybody realized that Dumbya was a losing horse still wield a pretty big stick. Party-line votes can always be vetoed, and they just run to Daddy’s Little Boy, knowing the Dems don’t have a veto-proof majority.
