Yes, it turns out that most Americans believe that the Bush Administration ought to get a warrant before snooping, even if they are terrorists. For the terminally curious, here’s how they got the numbers.
There are still a lot of people trying to spin this big mess, and here’s some debunking of the spin. The bottom line is this: if they are really bad guys, get a warrant! That’s what FISA is for! If they are not bad guys, get lost! As for the argument that we can’t prove they are bad guys, only linked to bad guys, I invite you to read Molly Ivins’s piece, “Six Degrees of Osama bin Laden”.
Go ahead, think about it, play the game. I bet you’re closer to terrorists than you think.
Whose phones have they tapped, anyway?
In closing, DeLay bows to pressure from his own party to leave position of leadership, Cheney’s health continues to be in question, and Hurricane Season 2005 is finally over.
