So I'll say it again and include a few pronouns this time.

It is better for the American people to sick to principles and be guided by their Constitution rather than trust any government, and especially one that it now appears was so cavalier with our secrets they are hiring twenty somethings without much background checks, to dispense with the 4th Amendment on the promise of safety and security.

Who is this guy anyhow? I never heard of him until this week, and don't much care about him.

I'm saying what I always said, I oppose Bush policies, ALL of them, how about you?
