Newsweek columnist Jonathan Alter reveals that President Bush had both New York Times executive editor Bill Keller and publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr. in the oval office and pleaded with them not to reveal the NSA's surveillance of international communications during a time of war. (There is no word on whether or not the oval office […]
Tuesday's New York Times is reporting that in the wake of 9/11 attacks the government has finally come to its senses and is monitoring groups that publicly advocate violence and terrorism. Of course, that's not the way the Times characterizes it. Counterterrorism agents at the Federal Bureau of Investigation have conducted numerous surveillance and intelligence-gathering […]
Unfortunately, that's something that a lot of Democrats and morons in the media don't seem to get. Byron York has an informative piece on the wiretaps that have caused all of this ruckus over the past few days. Remember the 9/11 commission and its "report card" on the government's anti-terror efforts earlier this month? York […]
Yesterday, in his weekly radio address, President Bush defended his authorization of a once-secret program to monitor the phone calls of suspected terrorists. In the weeks following the terrorist attacks on our nation, I authorized the National Security Agency, consistent with U.S. law and the Constitution, to intercept the international communications of people with known […]
Let me just say that I'm not outraged about The New York Times' revelation that the NSA has been eavesdropping on international phone calls without a court order. It's unclear whether or not this is legal, Fox News had on author and former investigative reporter Ronald Kessler who claims that it is legal. However, the […]
The Democrats new leader in the war on terrorism, Rep. John Murtha has ... issues. (via Mickey Kaus) Murtha on whether or not there is a civil war going on in Iraq: [T]here's a civil war going. We're caught in between a civil war right now. Our troops are the targets of the civil war. […]
DNC chairman Howard Dean is pro-terrorist. That may sound like hyperbole, or be unfairly harsh, but in the wake of his statements on a San Antonio radio station, I think they're accurate. Saying the "idea that we're going to win the war in Iraq is an idea which is just plain wrong," Democratic National Chairman […]
One of the nice things about the Internet is that it is so much easier to actually go back and check what happened or see what was said. It's this fact that led to the famous statement that bloggers would "fact-check your @$$." Unfortunately, too many reporters and editors are too lazy to do their […]
You've got one from columnist Charles Krauthammer, and another from law professor David Luban. Luban's is little more than a treatise against the U.S. government using any sort of physical, emotional or mental distress against terrorists plotting to attack the U.S. Krauthammer, on the other hand, does an excellent job of laying out all of […]
Loony, anti-Semitic and hate-filled "peace" protester Cindy Sheehan's 15-minutes of fame may have finally come to an end. Apparently her anti-war book isn't going to zoom to the top of the charts. You can look for her tripe in the written word form coming soon to a bookstore bargain bin near you.
