I hope you noticed that I was simply responding to Dusty's nasty little snipe at Bush.  I really don't give a shit who started all this invasion of privacy, I just want it to stop.  And, doing so will require the majority of Dems to revert to their previous position of believing it is a violation of civil rights.

I give a shit that the man ignored all of the ample warnings about Bin Laden's plans, and then used a ruse to invade Iraq to pay back some supposed slight that Bush Sr. had from Saddam.  Several thousand dead American & British forces died for that asswipes lies, plus countless Iraqi's, the majority of them civilians for that little perves transgressions.  Stand Trial?  I want to see him, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Blair & Condie swing from a gibbet for their war crimes.

That man started the fucking run away train of the NSA shitting down our collective throats, and you think that was a nasty little swipe?  I was being generous to that fucking war criminal.

Sorry, the public's short-term memory is already starting to alter history.

Which makes Bush's approval rating higher than Obama's.  Imagine that.

This was an interesting take.  I see it also as a forewarning.  We already know the government has the ability to listen to our phone calls, read our emails and web posts, monitor our social media communications, intimidate journalists deemed unruly, and sick the IRS on us for political purposes.  It would not surprise me to learn they are monitoring all our financial and banking transactions.  They certainly have the ability to do so.  The only thing standing between us and centralized government control of our lives is an informed public who, for the most part, still find it unacceptable.

Edit:  Oh yeah, add healthcare records to the above list.

They've been monitoring banking transactions since 1970 for amounts over $10,000.

Nowhere left to hide.

CSMonitor: Extradition Asylum Short List

Here's a little tidbit which should open some eyes.  Homeland Security's dragnet surveillance excluded mosques, the breeding ground for homegrown terrorists.

Before mosques were excluded from the otherwise wide domestic spy net the administration has cast, the FBI launched dozens of successful sting operations against homegrown jihadists — inside mosques — and disrupted dozens of plots against the homeland.

God, I knew some of them.  Assholes on the main.

I thought it was cash transactions over $5k

All I know is the Banking Secrecy Act

I use XE to transfer money from US to UK when the exchange rates are better.  they limit all transactions to just under $10k US to ensure they don't have to mess with the paperwork.  You can do large transfers, by signing up for a "special" account, fill out reams more paperwork, and pay a premium.

I have also been pulled aside at random when traveling to the UK and asked by an ICE agent whether I was carrying more than $10k.

Freedom's just another word....

Not to mention NASCAR and Waffle Houses.

And diners outside Blacksburg, VA, if anybody gets The West Wing reference.

Soon to become a major motion picture...

We knew they didn't buy all those billions of hollow points for target practice.  If our government is this fearful of its own citizens, perhaps we need a complete restructuring.  And, I don't mean just the elected idiots.  Listening to some of the recent hearing testimony by those appointed to run things, it becomes obvious the bureaucracy is out of control.

This is news?  Where the fuck have you been for the last 50 years?  Administrations come and go.  The bureaucracy is with us forever; unelected, and uncontrolled.

No Paul, you did not read my statement correctly, which is not unusual.  I said evidence of the damage his crimes have caused will be presented at the penalty phase of his trial.  You probably don't know that proving damage caused by his actions is not needed to convict him of aiding the enemy.  However, after he is convicted, the judge takes those damages into account when deciding his fate.  This is why you always see the family of the victims testifying during this phase.  I hope this was helpful and enlightening for you.

Snarky, but basically correct.

Correct and right are two different things. If proving guilt of aiding the enemy can be done without demonstrating that the enemy has been aided, why even have a trial?

Heh.

Priavacy, assasinate: George is safe!
Steve Case: Seriously, has anyone talked about him in the last decade?
WANK, Porno, 69: No comment.
c, a, b, d, the: Clearly a highly-targeted list.
Retinal Fetish: I'm afraid to find out what this is.
Phon-e: They got Dec!
illuminati: However, "fnord" does not appear on the list.  Hmm...

Ronco, Armani, BOSS 
Seriously? 
I've started seeding my voice communications with dirty bombs.  My mother was not amused at the beginning of our last phone call, but by the time we hung up she mentioned picking up my cousins and plastic explosives.  No matter who we vote in or which of the bums we vote out they're going to continue, each new bunch truly are the pigs taking over the farm.

Nicely done both of you.

Yeah boss, I've been keeping track of this housewife in Kentucky who keeps posting "anonymous sex" online.  I'm pretty sure it's a secret message to al queda.  I need a travel chit so I can go check her out.
