If Palin Isn't Committing Crimes Or Consorting With Terrorists-Then Why Can't We Monitor Her Emails?

9/11 Changed Everything!

Shouldn't these same people be standing up today and insisting that if Sarah Palin has done nothing wrong, then she should have nothing to hide? If Sarah Palin isn't committing crimes or consorting with The Terrorists, then why would she care if we can monitor her emails? And if private companies such as Yahoo can access her emails -- as they can -- then she doesn't really have any "privacy" anyway, so what's the big deal if others read through her communications, too? Isn't that the authoritarian idiocy that has been spewed since The Day That 9/11 Changed Everything -- beginning with the Constitution -- to justify vesting secret and unchecked surveillance powers in our Great and Good Leaders?

2. My Theory On The Hacking Of Palin's E-Mails Is That It Is A Rove Trick.......

it was timed to try and shift some of the story from the economy - where McCain is very weak - to blaming the Dems on something completely off the issues.

Correct me if I'm wrong but there was nothing really earth shattering that was revealed in her e-mails - was there?

Seems to me that these were cleansed first and then released.

Just sounds to Rovian for me.
