Copy this and email it to your friends by John in DC - 5/11/2006 06:00:00 PM CNN's Jack Cafferty, today. CNN's JACK CAFFERTY: I don't know about wisdom but you'll get a bit of outrage. We better hope nothing happens to Arlen Specter, the Republican head of the Judiciary Committee, because he might be all that's standing between us and a full blown dictatorship in this country. He's vowed to question these phone company executives about volunteering to provide the government with my telephone records and yours, and tens of millions of other Americans. Shortly after 9-11, AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth began providing the super secret NSA with information on phone calls of millions of our citizens, all part of the war on terror, President Bush says. Why don't you go find Osama Bin Laden and seal the country's borders and start inspecting the containers that come into our ports? The President rushed out this morning in the wake of this front page story in USA Today and he declared the government's doing nothing wrong and all of this is just fine. Is it? Is it legal? Then why did the Justice Department suddenly drop its investigation of the warrantless spying on citizens? Because the NSA said Justice Department lawyers didn't have the necessary security clearance to do the investigation. Read that sentence again. A secret government agency has told our Justice Department that it's not allowed to investigate it. And the Justice Department just says okay and drops the whole thing. We're in some serious trouble here boys and girls. Here's the question. "Does it concern you that your phone company may be voluntarily providing your phone records to the government without your knowledge or permission?" If it doesn't it sure as hell ought to.CNN's WOLF BLITZER: ...[some wisdom] from Jack Cafferty in New York.

This thread will never hold a candle to the "New Device Allows Women To Pee While Standing" thread but thanks for posting. [Ping>>>>
Yeah! I'm starting to think the "4" in "Freedom4um" stands for "fornicate." :P
"Expect the government to lie to you."
Good for Specter and i feel ashamed for having opposed him in my pre-epiphany stage.
Don't be so eager to hug spectre. He's the genius of the one bullet theory that did everything but travel all the way around the world and back after killing kennedy, wounding connelly, and landing in perfect condition on a stretcher or gurney at Parkland Hospital in Dallas. Talk is cheap. I recall he was going to get down to the nitty gritty with Ruby Ridge, too......... I swear that these congresscowards don't attend the same hearings that are on CSPAN. Their reports never seem to publish was was said in these multi million dollar hearings and 3-ring circuses these clown hold.
Yes, sometimes all this sound and fury is equal to a bait and switch routine. Spectre has made a career out of this AFAICTell.
You're right to warn against Specter...every politician is a mixed bag of crap and we'd be wrong to trust any of them.
I copied it and mailed it out. Thanks.
