Am I happy with warrantless searches? No. Do I feel that the President would deserve to be fired if he didn't watch international calls to suspected terrorists? Definitely. He would be fired in a New York minute. I think John has the final word here, and I doubt I'll have anything to add to it.
And it is about time to bring the NYT and the WaPo up on espionage charges. Do it now. These folks are dangerous, and endangering all of us - and themselves - to try to sell newspapers that no-one wants to read anyway. Whose side are they on in this war? And how come I could go to jail for twenty years for this, while they can do whatever they want to sell their papers? If they have some special exempt privilege, then why not me, as a blogger? They ain't any better than me. Is the Administration afraid of them? Better be afraid of me: I vote too, and we get 100s of thousands of hits per month.
Something tells me that these newspapers either want a Caliphate which advocates wife-beating and the hanging of gays and policed speech, or are blinded by hostile, psychotic partisanship. (I hope the latter, but why won't they just admit that they are Leftist propagandists, and quit the pretense? I'd be fine with that.)
Nice green underwear from Lands End. The Constitution is not a suicide pact and free speech does not extend to the revelation of defense secrets or threats of violence. What color of clean underwear do you want to be wearing when the Jihadists nuke Dubuque and London and Copenhagen and Oslo and Munich and Rome?
