Sent the following this morning to FDD: http://www.defenddemocracy.org/
I am searching the net today for some additional
outrage [I have read Mr. May's ACLU column] at the Pelosi/trial lawyers
conspiracy to bury the renewal of FISA until the Prez rolls over on the telecom
immunity issue.
Outside of the apparent capitulation of chairman
Reyes reported the other day, no more is happening, that is visible to the naked
eye.
I am assuming that the insider's word in DC is
that the renewal will happen, and there fore no additional protestations in the
conservative media are necessary.
I am further assuming that the Prez has filled the
intelligence gap with a little help from his friends, so, therefore, me and mine
are still safe from the bad guys.
Of course, if he is doing that, I am surprised
that some lefty analyst, buried deep in the intracies of the intelligence
establishment, has not given same to the NYT, in the name of saving us all from
bushitler. Of course, the fact that, if this is happening, that very fact is
classified much higher than the normal Top Secret Codeword, and considering that
there is still a grand jury sitting somewhere in Virginia looking at the TSP
leak to the dastardly NYT, perhaps those who would like to leak, may have been
cowed into silence by the prospect of ten & $ten K under article 18 of the
USC [time to enforce same, Mr Prez?].
BTW what is happening at that grand jury. Haven't
heard much at all, but, perhaps I have been reading the wrong
blogs.
All the best,
[i am the only one who reads this, but it is fun
to do]

I still can not figure out the President's strategerey on this issue. if it is so damn important, and I believe firmly that it is, then why is he willing to forego a month's worth of intelligence over a strictly partisan political skirmish, unless, as I haver said before, he has it covered thru other collection means.
Perhaps we will never find out, and probably we never should find out.
