NSA has the right and power to do this for reasons I can’t go into, the clearance for NSA is a unique thing and only NSA can grant it, but it is an incredibly stupid action. There will be an investigation eventually and these stalling measures just tick people off.

If the Dems take over either house this year, the NSA budget is going to take a hell of a hit after what they’ve been up to for the past five years.

How long can the Bush administration continue to deflect all attempts to ascertain the validity of their theory that the preznit (sorry, after all this time, I still cannot call him President, because of what happened in 2000) has no accountability for the potential illegality or (likely enough) unconstitutionality of his actions? Can the Justice Dept. simply abandon the investigation? Can the NSA simply prevent Justice from investigating?

If the preznit has no accountability to anyone in the other branches of government, then we are no longer the America that I was brought up believing in. I want my three-branch government back. I want checks and balances again. If I don’t get them back, then George W. Bush is no better than George III.

I can’t believe how sloppy their security is on the most basic level.

If they can’t provide basic protection at the White House, why would anyone assume they can protect the country?

It sounds to me like the Justice Dept. lawyers need to think a bit more outside the box.

Start rummaging through trash cans, take pictures of people entering the White House, and just tell Rove they’re after Democrats. He’ll squeal everything he knows.
