What is happening to the Constitution here? Straw? Factsvfiction? Anyone? Please explain.   Bob K Supporter Username: Bobk Post Number: 11587 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Sunday, May 21, 2006 - 12:03 pm:        If the above is true, and that is an open question I think, this is why I am opposed to the warrentless searches so beloved by our President. Sooner or later this type of power gets used for reasons other than originally intended.

Bush is doing things that are way, way worse than Nixon.   tulip Citizen Username: Braveheart Post Number: 3527 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Sunday, May 21, 2006 - 9:04 pm:        How can journalists actually be comfortable telling what they see, what their sources tell them, if they fear the CIA and the FBI? What would Thomas Paine and the founding fathers say about this? It's a nightmare. I can't think about it. It makes me very depressed!!   Foj Citizen Username: Foger Post Number: 1419 Registered: 9-2004 Posted on Sunday, May 21, 2006 - 10:09 pm:        A week ago on ABC: http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2006/05/federal_source_.html Recall that not long ago, Mrs. Alan Greenspan had the online world fixated for a whole weekend with the rumor that the WH had spied on Christine Amanpour. This "revelation" came immediately after the LA Times and the Guardian reported that the CIA had accidently given Iran a near perfect blue print for a nuke in 2004.
