1. Comment - NSA Has Record of US-to-US Calls

   (May 14, 2006 - 4:25 PM)

   Consider the Source
   
   Last time I checked this was America. We protect our people. If you like living here and the freedom and protection provided, then be thankful. If you are a terrorist living here then be very afraid. It has nothing to with Liberal or Conservative politics. If you agree or disagree that the American government should have your phone records for the purpose of protecting you from terrorists does not matter.
   
   Even if you are an irresponsible American journalist,because of the protection America provides, you can write what you think will sell a story. Consider the sources quoted by a journalist and I use that term loosely. To qoute, "... although not identified, "people with direct knowledge of the arrangement (NSA collecting phone call records) are cited as the source." Quoting again, "... sources say the domestic spying program is much larger than the administration has acknowledged." Un-named sources can be quoted by American journalists. Do you think that was the spirit of the amendment by the writers of the Constitution?
   
   Further, again we read some more pure speculation from an American journalist qouting those un-named sources, "Additionally, sources say the domestic spying program is much larger than the administration has acknowledged. It also seems to indicate President Bush may have either intentionally misled the country or simply was not fully informed about the program..." ? You journalists trying to sell a story can draw any conclusion you want, and almost publish anything. I prefer to believe the President is running a tight ship.
