Already have a major SpecOps base in Djibouti and all the secret CIA prisons we need in Morocco and Egypt.

Another Bushit Lie?

Also why aren''t these stories on the CBS (so called News website)?

OLBERMANN: Why would evidence like this entire AT&T room in San Francisco%u2014we know the number of the room, we know the guy who hooked it all up. Why is that not sufficient to at least move this lawsuit on?

TURLEY: Well, that%u2019s part of the ridiculous element to all this. That we know there%u2019s an NSA program; we know that it%u2019s illegal. There%u2019s been no showing nor is no showing possible that the President had the authority to order what he did. This is a crime, defined under federal law. So there%u2019s no mystery to the program, there%u2019s not a particular debate to its illegality. The only issue is standing: the ability of someone to come in and say, %u201CI can show I was individually harmed.%u201D And they can%u2019t do that because the Courts won%u2019t give them the information they need and Congress will do nothing to force out into the public the information needed to get this type of relief. And as you noted, the Congress is going further in the opposite direction; they%u2019re trying to extinguish suits against telecom companies that have been successful.


Where are the FISA Stories that are working against the freedoms of Americans on this News Website!

Why do we need military bases in Africa, when we have so many really BIG ones in Iraq where the oil is already waiting? (sarcasm)
If Bush wants to leave an appropriate legacy for posterity, he should stay in Africa and not come back to the U.S. again.

Three hundred of Africa''s leaders are in a conference room, and they decide to take a vote on whether they should trust Bush''s assertion that he won''t militarize Africa.

"Everybody that believes Bush raise your hand."

For a moment, there is dead silence. Then, far back at the rear of the room, one lonely hand goes up.

"WHAT?!?!? You believe Bush?"

"No, I was just wondering what is for lunch."

SHURCH4TRUTH, I get plenty of the pathetic here reading some of these posts. So any attack on Obama now is going to be "subtle racism"? I''d say that is in and of itself subtle racism.
