Plame and Wilson: The NSA's metastasised intelligence-industrial complex is ripe for abuse

89. I needed a good laugh. Thanks!

Nothing like breathless Bushie hyperbole that boils down to "yer either wit us or agin us." You should be proud of your mad debate skillz!

How much was Congressed briefed?

Here is a Democrat not on your enemies list (better add him):

"There's very little trust in the government, and that's for good reason," said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who sits on the House Intelligence Committee. "We're our own worst enemy."

Here is another Democrat (better add him too):

Wyden said lawmakers must have clear and direct answers to questions in order to conduct oversight. "This job cannot be done responsibly if senators aren't getting straight answers to direct questions," he said in the statement.

AND HERE IS THE MONEY BIT:

"Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?" Wyden asked Clapper at the March 12 hearing.

"No, sir," Clapper answered.

"It does not?" Wyden pressed.

Clapper quickly and haltingly softened his answer. "Not wittingly," he said. "There are cases where they could, inadvertently perhaps, collect — but not wittingly."

Oh, add Mark Udall to that list too.

You might be a "good party member," but I do not being lied to. Now go run off and try to find some cut-and-paste apologist talking point to try to explain why your nose hasn't grown about a foot here.
