AGREEMENT!?

[filkertom]

Fuck you, Arlen:

The White House is nearing an agreement with Congress on legislation that would write President Bush's warrantless surveillance program into law, the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman said Sunday.

Bush and senior officials in his administration have said they did not think changes were needed to empower the National Security Agency to eavesdrop — without court approval — on communications between people in the U.S. and overseas when terrorism is suspected.

But Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., and other critics contend the program skirted a 1978 law that required the government to get approval from a secretive federal court before Americans could be monitored.

"We're getting close with the discussions with the White House, I think, to having the wiretapping issue submitted to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court," Specter told "Fox New Sunday."

Let's make this reeeeeeal simple, for the simple-minded fools in fuckin' Congress, mm-kay? The Bush Administration broke the law. They admitted it. They did so repeatedly. And when even their own party says, "Y'know, that's kind of against the law," they say, "OOGA BOOGA! WAR ON TERROR!"

When are our spineless "representatives" going to say, Enough is enough? Or will they ever say it?
