I bet what your school didn't tell you is that they are a part of it too. That's right, your school is giving your private information to the government. Check it out:\n\nhttp://www.anti-flag.com/UA10.php?cause_item=18

Bush was using scare tactics to grab votes. Karl rove admitted that scaring Americans into a panic would win votes and justify the war in Iraq.\n  I have often wondered why Bush doesn't mention osama bin laden anymore. Here is the real terrorist who was responsible for the biggest terrorist attack in U.S history. There is evidence that the bin laden family have connections to the Bush family. They have extensive business relations for years.\n  Maybe he doesn't mention bin laden because he has no interest in capturing him. If by capturing bin laden could bring millions to Bush and Halliburton than you could bet the farm we would have him by now.\n  Could this be the reason why were in Iraq, to draw attention away from bin laden? Bush said in a speech back in late 2002 "I don't think about bin laden, I don't care were he's at,he's not a big deal to me".\n  This is how crazy Bush is. His idea is "osama bin laden attacked us, so lets go after Saddam". It's like if your neighbor beats up your wife so you go after your pastor.\n  The truth is this, Bush and Cheney can make alot more money invading Iraq and grabbing the oil (see Halliburton) and giving out a lucrative fire fighting contract to a firm once run by Cheney than by capturing Osama. \nBut in fairness to Bush, he has to keep shedding innocent blood or he violates his deal with the devil.\nIf anyone wants to see some real good stuff go to infowars.com or prisonplanet.com

I wouldnt be surprised if its being monitored by "big brother"\nEverything else in our lives is being m,onitored.\nThis tyrannical govt would love to know where our interest lay as individuals.\nAnd in fact , this forum is an excellent and pure way for ppl to give their views without fear of attention from work colleagues or friends that have succumbed to the pc and thought police.

netjr:... you mean they were doing all the things Saudi Arabia is doing basically... oh yeah... that would clearly not be worth it... you don't have that many links just out of coincidence... \n\n*meanwhile... Bush and the Saudi King walks of into the sunset holding hands*\n\nwerk2much2000: why is it you Conservatives run on here when Rush says something like this, like the Clinton thing with VERY shaky links (The 9-11 report found no evidence of it).. but you "highly doubt" everything else?\n\nS. Leroy: what is the "end all be all" then? God forbid we focus on the mastermind of the man that killed 3,000... sounds like an EXCELLENT PLACE TO START.... instead let's take over Iraq who did nothing to us and has very vague links to terror and had nothing to do with 9-11?\n\nwatty: I can see your point, but many conservatives, I don't know if you did, said a lot of bad things about Clinton "not taking a deal" with folks that were just as shaky... just saying...

I'm sorry I don't have the time to read all of that right now, but I plan to.  Quick question, does it define what terrorism is anywhere in there.  If it does, please tell me where so I can read that.\n\nIf not, There is my issue with it.

Muslim or not, these people planned mass murder!\nWe all should be happy they got caught, their next target could have been in our own hometown,killing people we know and love.\nTerrorists use computers too. How many of the HATE BUSH,HATE AMERICA ,ANTI WAR, ANTI MILITARY, Q & A's you see on here everydayare coming from the BAD GUYS ?\nI haven't seen 1 democrate get on tv this morning and congradulate anybody for stopping this plot. But,if it had not been stopped the Dems would be raising Hell\n\nCould it be that the Dems are secretly supporting the BAD GUYS to make the administration look bad , so they can get back their power?\n\nWas Howard Dean behind 911 ????

Bush wants to wiretap Americans on a wild goose chase for terrorists - yet he allows 6 ports to be placed under the operational control of a company from UAE, home to 2 of the 9/11 hijackers.\n\nGee, yeah, Bush is doing "a heck of a job".

I agree, the average person is not willing to think things out.  But I go the competely opposite direction of you.\n\nEveryone is saying that there is so much propaganda out there.  Like what?  Freedom fries?  Bush didn't make those.  Have you heard of 9-11?  In which the terrorists did attack america, very devastating.  If you put the word "bush" into a search engine, you get hate, how is that propaganda?  So what if the US has large Arab and Middle Eastern populations, that does not mean that they are terrorists.  What do you know about terrorists?  It is the radical Islam believers that are the terrorists, not necessary Muslims, and Arabs.  Laziness is bliss, in your side.  People say that WMD's were not found in Iraq, well, let me ask you this, If they were found, would the govt. be able to tell us? If you understand War, then you would know the answer is no.\n\nI don't act on fear, I have thought about both sides immensly, and notice that the other side is filled with propaganda that 59% of the American population is believing.  It is sad, really\n\nhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/05/AR2006110500770.html\nhttp://www.husseinandterror.com/\nhttp://www.weeklystandard.com/Utilities/printer_preview.asp?idArticle=6550&R\nhttp://www.intelmessages.org/Messages/National_Security/wwwboard/messages/826.html\n\nAnd this one, has foiled terrorist plots since 9-11.\n\nhttp://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/10/20051006-7.html

Legally speaking, it is a brilliant strategy! Obviously, any self-respecting al-Qaeda operative (is that an oxymoron?) will plan everything in graphic detail on ordinary, everyday domestic telephone lines. This is exactly how we foiled those vicious bastards on 9/11, remember? We were all over that plan... erm... no, wait. Well, if our dictator-for-life wants it, it just has to be good for us, right? I mean, that's what life under an ultra right-wing neo-fascist regime is all about, isn't it? Welcome to America! Love it or leave it!\n\n(God, did I just say that? Even in a satirical context that felt dirty... I'll go have a thorough wash, lol...)

I totally agree! If you have nothing to hide, why worry? \n\nIf it will get terrorist caught, drug dealers brought down, child predators put away, rapist thrown behind bars, etc.\n\nWhat a wonderful world it would be..\n\nPersonally, I thought the CIA flagged calls from terrorist all along! I was so surprised to find out that it wasn't so. I feel much safer knowing that this is being done now... Maybe that is why we haven't had another 911.

I have a problem with the fact that the Commander-in-Sheik is issuing orders that ignore and/or violate federal law (FISA).\n\nNow, unfortunately, the phone call database is not a violation of federal law, since there is no presumed right to privacy in the records of what calls get made. I think that it's unreasonable, and thus in violation of the 4th Amendment, but the Courts haven't ruled on that issue yet.\n\nUPDATE. Actually, the phone call database IS apparently being compiled in violation of federal law. See the Stored Communications Act of 1986.

Good point.\n\nMost of our lives are too boring to warrant the attention of government intelligence agencies.\n\nYes, I value my privacy, but am in more fear of losing it to marketing agencies than spy networks.

... all the conservaties can say is.. "Democratic grandstanding" or "they've been doing it"? \nand DannyK5... if someone was involved in, oh I don't know, THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY they could very well have an intrest in what you had to say AND THEY HAVE NO OVERSIGHT TO STOP THEM FROM LISTENING IN... \n\nThese are the most pathetic excuses for these actions I have ever heard...\n\n... do they even care about America... apparently not... and they call others un-patriotic\n\nI love how Osama is setting in Pakistan and we're over here gathering normal people's phone records with our intelligence officers... tough on terror... it's a joke...

I'm going to have to politely disagree on the grounds that the mainstream media, in Bush's corner, has deceived most everyone, in the US at least. Which isn't going to last forever, might I add.\n\nMountains of evidence supports that the "war on terror" is just a big farce!\n\nIf you have time, you may want to listen to some alternative views on what's actually going on:

is Did this really happen.Someone needs to read the papers and just see what  is and has happening in our country. tell them to read about 911 and other security breaches.I do believe that home Land security is following up. they sure as hell wouldn't just let this pass as if it were nothing, or would they

100% AGREE.\n\nSome calls were absolutely ridiculous, and some weren't even called! So much for the wireless stuck to their ears and chins....what are they broadcasting on them anyway, if it ain't for some backup help ! maybe they;re tuned into Lifetime TV , eh :)

Bush insisted on this bill to protect Eli Lily for one of his best buds Mitch Daniels, who is now the governor of Indiana. Daniels is a sell out. Mitch, decided to save Eli Lily millions by cutting pensions for those who earned those funds fair and square. \nSince taking office in 2004, Daniels passed the Major Moves agenda. He got his buddies in the State House to pass the time change. Now some of us are on Eastern Time, and some of us are on Central Time. Stupid. The whole state ought to be on one or the other not both. Stupid.\nThe Stupidity didn't stop there, no, Mitchie boy, decided he wanted to sell the Toll Road to foriegners. \nBush probably promised that he would help Eli Lily cut their losses, by phasing out their responsibility for their oversight, neglegence. The Bush administration has done the same thing for asbestos claims as well, and hard telling how many others that we haven't heard about. \nThe only reason, and it's totally amoral, is that it's going to cost those companies a lot of money! It all boils down to the cost. \nRepublicans generallu aren't honest at all, let alone enough to admit wrongdoing.\nDitch Mitch!\nDitch Bush and all his cronies!\n\nBTW. What does Homeland Security Act have to do with all these companies being protected from litigation, responsibility anyway?Seems big corporations have more protection, power than the citizens of the United States. This is all sick and twisted.
