To answer Cool Chick's question, I'm not advocating anarchy. All I'm saying is that in the face of an unseen adversary intelligence gathering is of the utmost importance. The fate of nations, armies and the lives of many have been decided on the basis of either accurate or faulty intelligence throughout history. Keep in mind had we have had accurate intelligence we may have never even invaded Iraq.
Like it or not GW was elected president and has been cast into a leadership role, and as such the ability to obtain timely and accurate information for the security of our nation is of paramount importance. He has, by the virtue of having been elected, been given a mandate to exercise this authority in a sound and reasonable way, to exercise common sense and make the tough decisions. This is after all a time of crisis, a time of war. Let's not be too quick to forget the lesson of 911.
As far as laws existing for a reason, yes it is true. The law currently drawn into question was enacted in response to the Nixon wire taps. It didn't always exist. Keep in mind that laws are man made, not ordained by God, but who really listens to him/her anyway?
As far as how I manage my own affairs, I mean, nobodys perfect, even Martha Stewart's not perfect! I have been ticketed jaywalking a few times.
In response to Fastpat, what incoherent rambling jibberish. Once again comparing Bush to Hitler, once again again deffering moral or legal authority to the do nothing UN. Where was the UN when children were macheted to death in Rowanda, or populations were systematically slaughtered in Bosnia? (that is until the US took leadership initiative under the Clinton administration) Where is the UN in the current Sudan genocide? You're so convinced there is no connection between AlQueda and Iraq. How do you know? Where is YOUR proof?
