[/SIZE]As he sought to renew the USA Patriot Act two years ago, Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales assured lawmakers that the FBI had not abused its potent new terrorism-fighting powers. "There has not been one verified case of civil liberties abuse," Gonzales told senators on April 27, 2005.



Oh my, the scandals keep piling up.

Gonzales needs to be forced out and, if that won't happen, impeached.

"There has not been one verified case of civil liberties abuse..." Gonzales.

There is no crime here, there is nothing worthy of obloquy. Gonzales mispoke.
If he had said "There has not been one canonical case of civil liberties abuse..." The Washington Post would have had to find another story.

"More on The Hypocrisy of Clinton's 'Libby Pardon' Vitriol," perhaps?

With regards to the Patriot Act, I'll leave you with this to ponder: Only the living, can enjoy a democracy.

 

[StawberryCough]

Only the living, can enjoy a democracy.

Our Founding Fathers saw it more the other way around ya know, "Give me liberty, or give me death."

What good is being alive when you live in fear and let your rights be stripped away from you like sheep?

Somehow we managed to fight Hitler and Tojo, who were several orders of magnitude more dangerous than a bunch of medieval savages could ever be, without resorting to Patriot Acts and secret detentions.

Funny thing though, the Nazi's wore uniforms and were immured to the west-central part of Europe...

 

[Maynard Keenan]

I assume your comment had a point?

 

[CGL]

I assume your comment had a point?

You've assumed right, and thank you for your derision...

My point is, 'enemy identification'.
Which muslims are radicals, which muslims are moderates? This hitch, is a major fraction of this war, more so then ever, given our gelasticly politicaly correct media and society. I wasn't in west-central Europe in the 30's, but I think Veterans would agree in the Nazi's being easy and conclusive enemies...

 

[invisible trousers]

Let me get this right. As a christian, you're saying it's appropriate, if not a good thing, to be a liar.

Can you deny this?

edit: Each and every day as more questionable news about this administration comes out, I become more and more convinced its' remaining supporters are completely detached from reality.

 

[Arnold_Philips]

I'm unsurprised such a despicable and immoral liar would be promoted by our Idiot King.

 

[StawberryCough]

Are you a terrorist StawberryCough?

Are you an idiot?

 

[CGL]

Are you an idiot?

Stawberry you shouldn't be a terrorist, you're better then that.
