How do you know which telephone conversations are being monitored? What makes you so sure that only conversations with "terrorist cells" are being monitored?
I am not, but at least the purpose is worthwhile. I imagine a few conversations were tapped inadvertantly, along with the most suspect, but the point is, don't dig on the beach to find a manure pile, you go to the barnyard. These rallies are not the place to spend our tax dollars looking for dangerous people, oe.

How do you know the current government is not more dangerous than the citizens on the corner? Who are more concerned about constitutional principles. How come Homeland Security is not investigating Obama's friends, Wright and Ayers, actually you have one bomb thrower there for sure, and another guy that rails against Jews, rich people, and America. I think that would be a more fruitful investigation.
Quote:Why do you oppose one effort and favour the other? What's your reasoning, okie?
Common sense, hows that, because you go where the principle dangers are. And be on the watch for it, don't be surprised if they trump up or find one lonely guy that had a bomb or something, that attended one of the rallies somewhere. I would not trust Obama very far, and I don't think a trumped up thing would be beyond his capability.
