I quote:

Consistent with its focus on communications abroad, NSA adopted a policy that avoided intercepting the communications between individuals in the United States and foreign countries

Why then? Why that time in the life of the NSA did they go tone deaf to valuable intelligence that they *could* leagally get?

Another odd 'coincidence' on the road to 9/11? How convenient for the Saudi's that pulled it off.

The list of these 'coincidences' is weighing very heavy in my mind.

BUSH KNEW! or at least CHENEY KNEW! seems to come screaming out of that part of my subconsciouses that hashes through the consciouses minds entrails. Someone knew but like all that has happened since Bush was appointed president, the entire administration turns into a room full of 8-year olds denying any role in it until someone peripheral to the crime is offered up for punishment only to escape at the last minute (to a life on the think-tank lecture circuit or Fox News for big bucks)...

Are they all on the take? Are they getting paid for their polishing of blight-wing mutants?

I don't know which is worse however: them pushing this crap OR people actually believing it.

But I have a relative, distant thank god, that is an extremist blight-winger. If you aren't capable of swallowing the political jism dribbling from the mouths of the fascist crazed enablers of the current administration, then well you are just totally deranged and there must be something just totally wrong with you.

He is mean, intolerant, callous and just crass but he is dating my sister and she is now afraid to leave him. He's threatened her and he's a HUGE gun nut. Yes, the kind that sleeps with one under their bed and one in the headboard of the bed too.

I really can't fathom what made this person so damaged. What would cause a person to end up like him?

Hell, at a family function he yelled 'Hey, there's our token liberal!' and 'They'll let anyone in here!'. I yelled back 'I guess so! You're here!' and he missed the slight and wondered why people were laughing. He thought they were laughing at me. Uh, no genius...

Is it the water? To many Twinkies? Food preservatives? Evil rays from space? It's just incredible. He now deletes messages that I leave for my sister on the answering machine. Christ, what a douche bag.

People like him would burn their houses down to the ground and think they did a good thing. What's bad is good and good, bad. I grow so tired of his bullshit...

What the hell happened to this country? How did it happen? It's incredible...
