...none of us here are privvy to what intelligence is floating around right now. I think we are all aware that there could be some reason to suspect that terror cells are operating in the U.S. as we speak. If that were the case, I could see why congressional dems might be willing to go along with increased surveillance measures. All we need is for there to be an attack before the elections and we come off looking weak and not up to handling terrorists. This thing is under so much scrutiny now, I don't think the bastards would abuse it for political gain.

Only another attack on the U.S. llke 9/11 could keep a democrat from taking the presidency in 08. And even then, there would have to be circumstances that show the reason it happened was because this congress did not pass certain measures to prevent it.


I am not saying I agree with the passage of this new FISA bill, just that there could be things we just do not know, and our congressmen do! We either trust them or we don't. Not being privvy to all intelligence gives me reason to believe there was legitimate reason for passing this new bill. After all, we have the majority and could stop it if there were reason to do so.
