Galacticly Stupid
George W. Bush recently signed a "wiretap without warrant" bill into law giving our "intelligence professionals" the ability to wiretap "foreign" phone and internet calls without requiring them to get judicial approval. I'm all for going after terrorists, but not at the expense of my civil liberties. If the so-called "intelligence professionals" want to wiretap someone they should be forced to get a warrant. Allowing them to wiretap without a warrant is just an excuse for the "intelligence professionals" to be lazy and/or incompetent, because they don't need to collect any actual evidence.
Speaking of lazy and incompetent, it seems that US taxpayers have been paying the Iraqi insurgents to attack our troops. We have equipped the Iraqi police force with weapons and body armor and one third of that equipment has been "lost" by the Pentagon. This isn't a handgun or two, the same people claiming to be responsible enough to wiretap without a warrant have lost 110,000 AK47's, 80,000 pistols, 135,000 pieces of Body Armor, and 115,000 helmets, which are most likely in the hands of insurgents right now being turned on our troops. I guess if you really want the war to continue the best way to do it is to arm both sides. Way to Go George Bush!
