    Stop your sobbing

    OK, maybe they bent some rules to try to prevent further 9/11s. What are you moaning about -- they heard you talking to your girlfriend? Was any thing done with this "illegal" information that led to any thing you don't like, or is it just that you don't like Bush? Do you think if the Dems get in this eavesdropping will stop? It did under Clinton (Gorelik's infamouse non-required "Wall" between surveillance and investigation), and 9/11 was our reward (yeah, I know, all Bush had to do was press a button to stop it). You people are alive today, for all you know, because of US spying, and then you complain. Drop next bomb on you.
