said by gatorkram :Cut off the head of the snake, if you expect to kill it. These companies didn't approach the government, and say, hey man, would you guys like all this data. It is my understanding they were asked to do it.
Go after the ones who asked for the data in the first place. Eisenhower?; JFK? etc. Every administration since the cold war began has had access to this info. -- Internet News My BLOG My Web Page

Backers of immunity, who include some Democrats as well many of Bush's fellow Republicans, contend companies should be thanked, not punished, for helping defend the United States.

| reply to TK Junk Mail Except when they DON'T use it for that or bust the wrong folks... Lets see- we have several hundred prisoners in Cuba - only 80 are expected to face charges...
Lovely - the potential for incredible misuse or frankly - the wrong interpretation (remember - the justification for going into Iraq was with incorrect data and other data was ignored to justify the invasion) can lead to many years of no trial for US citizens and possibly no contact with lawyers to boot.
Sorry - terrorism has been around BEFORE there were telephones - if they have evidence then let them get a warrant but they don't get free reign stomp all over the Constitution because they are the govt.
Just because Democrats and Republican's want to trample the Constitution and break their sworn job to UPHOLD the Constitution, does not mean they are right to do so. This type of thing is what the Constitution is supposed to protect the citizens from but instead it is being ignored by both parties. nothing like irrational fear brought to you by the govt to justify ignoring the Constitution. |
