One more fuckin question...All this snooping and no Terror Arrests?
Edited on Thu May-11-06 12:49 PM by xultar
OK so you're tapping our international calls. You say your only data-mining our domestic calls.

you say you've foiled plots.

Where are the arrests?
Where are the trials?
Where are the trumpets blaring your successes and showing the secret terra cells in our midst.

You know why there aren't any of those things happening. Because you're not looking for TERRA. You're SPYING ON US.

That's why there are no arrests. No shows of trials and no detailing of plans. You're not looking for TERRORISTS in the US you're spying on your opponents.

If they were so great...they'd have caught someone by now. Since they've foiled some plots right?

1. Amen to that
But, then again, they have caught Al Qeada's number 3 guy about 1000 times now...

3. Its sorta like the "tax cuts work" talking point
if tax cuts (first implimented in 2001) work so well, how come many middle and lower class Americans can still barely make ends meet?

And if all this spying is not only necessary, but works and has been in place since 2001, then what do we have to show for it?


And, no, Republicans, "not being attacked since 9/11" is not a valid answer.

4. Everyone they catch gets a free trip to beautiful Romania...
You can't prosecute people that you've tortured so it looks like the Al Queada waterboy Moussouai is the only one that the war on terrorism will produce.

Pretty pathetic huh?

5. Remember these f*ckups said this ain't no Law Enforcement operation
It is a "war on terror".

Funny how Law Enforcement *caught* the guys that bombed the WTC the first time and they were all tried, convicted and are serving time in prison right now.

7. Our intel is pretty pathetic
The best they could do is Massouii (sp?) and that kid they caught in Afghanistan. The rest are invisible people stuck in a concentration camp in Cuba and they are slowly letting them go, probably after torturing them enough to convince themselves that they are nobodies.

I hate this fucking administration and george w. bush more than words can express. What a total asshole, I can't wait until he's gone.

8. 'Cause catching terrorists is hardly their goal...
Terrorism keeps BushCo in business. The spying is designed to catch dissenters. I hope Michael Moore is making a movie about all this crap.
