Intel, Lies & Treason
When all else fails, lie

Yet another Hat Tip to my goomba, Marty

The Democrats are making all the political hay they can over the so-called domestic spying ordered by The Prez. Ralph Peters has penned an excellent article in the NY Post concerning such.

Before I post some of Peters' more compelling points, I would first like to point out that the surveillance isn't Bush listening in on me calling my kid brother back home in San Diego and he and I talking about the Padres. And the wire taps sure as hell ain't about your Aunt Suzie calling you to wish you a happy birthday. It's none of that... no matter how much the Democrats try to scare us into believing such.

Only certain OVERSEAS phone numbers had a tap placed on them. And yes... some of the individuals who owned these particular phone numbers called certain folks here in the good old U.S. of A.

Uhh... before I forget, the phone numbers in question were obtained from captured al-Qaeda bad guys in Afghanistan and Iraq. Know what... if al-Qaeda is giving someone here in The States a ring, I personally think it's a pretty good idea if we listen in. Sheesh... do you think these guys are just swappin' recipes for Goat Turd Stew? Think about it.

Anyhoo... Peters points out ever so eloquently, here are just a few passages in his op/ed piece;

According to the Democratic Party's leaders, we all have been betrayed by the Bush administration's Big Brother intelligence tactics as evil government operatives invaded the privacy of innocent Americans.

Stop lying. Show us the victims.

Name one honest citizen who has been targeted by our intelligence system. Name one innocent man or woman whose life has been destroyed. Come on, Nancy. Give it up, Howard. Name just one.

The truth is that you are being endangered. By politicians so desperate to gain power that they willingly pave the way for terrorist attacks.

The Dean-Pelosi chapter of the Osama bin Laden Fan Club has provided aid and comfort to our enemies. Reasoned dissent is patriotic, but serving as propaganda agents for mass murderers is something else. Now the Dem extremists are welcoming the compromise of clandestine programs to prevent terrorist attacks.

They, not Bush, are flouting our laws. By encouraging the compromise of classified material. And you will pay.

When the Islamist killers come to our soil again and left-wing politicians attempt to exploit our dead by howling that the War on Terror failed, just remember who it was that gave away our secrets to the terrorists.
