Trawling for Leakers Part 2

FBI Acknowledges: Journalists' Phone Records are Fair Game

This wouldn't be a problem if so many people in the intelligence community didn't think what is going on is so horribly wrong.

Do we give a corrupt government free reign to control what we hear because we've let them convince us of some phony war on terror?

Do we believe their transparent lies about the legality of their behavior?

Bush sends the National Guard to the Mexican border. How about having them inspecting shipping containers in New York Harbor? Or guarding chemical depots?

War on terror. A fairy tale to scare children at night. A sound bite for votes.

If he believed in it he'd start conscription. If we believed in it we'd let him.

There's your proof. As long as someone else is fighting and dieing, "Bring it on!" No sacrifice here. No rationing. No raising taxes to pay for the troops.

War on terror. It's a war on our minds.

Phone tapping reporters is a big step toward brown shirts and jackboots. When it's too late what are you going to do?

As long as George Bush stays in office, we are a nation of cowards.

Zeig heil, George.
