Conservative "values" exposed
[T]he Bush administration knew about a Terrorist in an Afghan safe house making Terrorist-planning calls into the U.S., then they could have -- and should have -- eavesdropped on that call and didn't need a warrant to do so. So why didn't they?
More than lies about the supposed "need" for greater contempt of the US Constitution is what they're trying to hide. Mukasey's tearful admission is that Bush either knew about 9/11 beforehand or was asleep at the wheel of America's safety. We should be asking harder questions of Bush and his cronies, under oath. The 9/11 Commission Report is fast becoming as irrelevant as the Warren Commission Report. Bush, and the incompetent ideologues he surrounds himself with, screwed up before, during and after 9/11, and they don't have the cojones to admit it.
The American people cannot trust the Bush administration. For all the right-wing talk of "values", Republicans are the party of lies, fear, taxpayer rip-offs and sexual predators. We shouldn't give unlimited wiretap authority to untrustworthy people.
