Cheney pushes to make eavesdropping law permanent

[Mfluder1970]

they need to hear what the evil-doers are planning? they heard before 9-11, but didn't listen.

[joshkat29]

boneyfreak is cia dont trust him

[skullanones]

TRAITORS!!!

[jclayton59466]

If only illegal immigrants had youtube, then maybe they would think twice before crossing over into USA.

[WoundedEgo]

The issue about immunity interfering with due process is very important.

[boneyfreak]

btw 2243 FISA requests were authorized last year....WOW, sounds like everyone is in trouble....the Goverment knows about Aunt Ellens arthritis, and Uncle Bens new dent in his Pontiac..GET A LIFE PARANOID IDIOTS.

[boneyfreak]

Do you really think the goverment wants to listen to your boring brainless conversations?

You have a 1:13,844,000.239 chance of a FISA request for you being submitted to ease drop on YOU, if you are conversing with suspected terrorists, unfriendly goverment ect..it is 1:1,384.440 chance...

WHAT A BUNCH OF MINDLESS PARANOID PUNDANTS AND IDIOTS THAT BELIEVE THIS IS SOME MASSIVE BIG DADDY CONSPIRACY...GET A LIFE.

[WorldPolitics]

I LOVE THIS LAW! Go Cheney!

[seapoidog]

IMPEACH CHENEY AND BUSH!!!

[SergioMomarsh]

One more reason to impeach the dick. He would sacrifice liberty for security and shall have neither.

[911allo]

I think I understood why he got this firstname :)

Cheney is one of the most hated humans on this lovely planet of our's. Thank God :)

[911allo]

Does one needs a warrant to bring some humanity out of an american brain's neurones ?

God is NOT an American and he shall show it to you if you don't wake up, pretending you were asleep :)

[Panpiper]

IMPEACH!!!

[Gilliatt83]

I AM OUTRAGED

[wiskawind]

Keep making those calls, sending those emails; keep the pressure on! Make sure congress KNOWs "WE the People" are NOT sheep and WE WON"T F&^KING TAKE IT! And keep demanding for Cheney impeachment TOO!

[plenty2see]

cheney looks a bit reptilian dont you think, and Bush as well, reptiles are super survivors, hell a cockroach can live without its head for 3 days...

[TheStoicAgnostic]

haha

yeah, but i think these forms are something else

cockroaches eat your food

these things eat your soul

[websuspect]

They want your soul.

[TheStoicAgnostic]

thanks

that's good stuff

[sdhcinci]

He doesn't explain it right. It is also anyone emailing or calling IN the US, not just talking with a foreigner. The way the internet works, it routes around where a hub is busy, so anything from US to US CAN GO OVERSEAS FIRST.

[sdhcinci]

[Tinfoilhatproduction]

Wow, was that a leading question or what! Lucky he is not a Barrister, you can only ask those questions in cross.

[CyberWastedSLAYER]

"Terrorism" is just an excuse to blind the people to the truth, this is a legislation for erosion of the common peoples rights to privacy and free speech. This government is fast becoming a tyrinical regime: ID cards, search & detainment with minimal probable cause (all they need is "suspicion" of "Terrorism"!!), where are American's constitutional rights? The fact is The Constitution is dead & buried!

Every American should watch the Documentary "Zeitgeist", be awakened, be informed!

[celticlord88]

cheney looks like igor on tv. lol

[Orchem]

Good news I hear. No immunity to telecoms. Does that mean for good or do they still have a chance? I liked the comment about Ukraine. Americans are way too comfortable in their "democracy" (laugh) and take it for granted. Now it's almost gone. Get up and protest. You have to march on your reps. Get in their face. Talk to them. Tell them how you feel. Tell them to smarten up. Your vote depends on it.

[wiskawind]

(Orchem) I like you! (smile) Yes we blocked immunity, for the moment! But have to keep the pressure on! Make those calls everyday, send emails; wake up the ones that are still asleep! (smile)

[bretcarr2001]

Spineless DUMBOCRATS..there is no difference between the spineless Commie Dumbocrats And them Nazi Republicans...they all work together..America has a 1 party system..fire them all..keep Ron Paul..and fire the rest of them traitors..Vote Ron Paul 4 prez.

[aliakbar01]

idiots.

[beefjiff]

The truth about Cheney is he is a dark sith lord. "Give in to your hatred!" -Cheney

[g587802]

Cheney is totally lying.

[Colhuckelbuck]

i would post my opinion but bill oriely hasnt told me what it is yet.

[PalluxoMediaOfficial]

hahahaha.... good one!

[LMB42687]

Every administration makes mistakes at times and Bush as good as he is still does too. In a few years Bush will go down as history as one of the best presidents we have ever had. A strong leader in turbulent times.

[AbuCihan]

What have you been smoking, boy??

[CyberWastedSLAYER]

You are seriously one brain washed idiot! Wake up and smell the coffee! Don't swallow the lies and deceit this government is having you believe. This is another way to control YOU! Its nothing to do with "Terrorists", thats just the excuse they use to make it palatable to the average unenlightened joe! If you seek the truth all will be revealed! Dont stick your head in the sand, and dont swallow the crap they "spin". The american gov is corroding your civil liberties!

[marcusjansen239369]

worst comes to worst, we will need to demand a citizens arrest! Do whatever you can to support RON PAUL! The Underdog. He is the only one with our support that has the balls to take on these crooks!

[otto1882]

Don't worry, the US governmet is committing national suicide. A new goverment that doesn't resemble this will rise from the ashes. Only problem is it will be another decade or so.

[wiskawind]

Keep the faith people; do not lose hope! This is OUR country, and this administration will be held accountable for the crimes they have committed against the American people and against humanity! "We the people" ARE America, and the noose is closing around all these traitors who have tried to pull off a coup right in OUR OWN government! All their lies are being uncovered, so just keep making those calls, and sending those emails! (smile)

[Orchem]

How exactly will they be held accountable? The only way is if Bush gets blown in the Oval Office, then maybe he'll get impeached. Where are your priorities? After Bush and Cheney leave office they'll go swimming in oil money. What is anyone gonna do about it? The few of you who care enough to get up? The rest are sitting in their ass groove at home looking for the french fry they dropped.

[davood1357]

bush sucks

[yooja]

Paying attention on the internet each month there have been Multi Millions Americans on the streets the Revolution will not be televised Vote Ron Paul, Not the CFR puppets and shills, the Marchers are on the internet radical change come from people who followed the Constitution for a free people from a sovereign person.

[MasterMark123]

the was a coup in Washington that came in with Diebolt behind the scenes. We have been hoodwinked for 7 years now and no one seems to care. Where are the marches in the streets ?? The whole Bush Admn needs to be tried for treason

[PersonalJesus348]

no one is pushing it. Washington isn't innocent.

[djben1977]

Being an American Citizen, all I have to say is that we're fucked! Totally!!! We vote for people who say one thing, and then totally turn around and do the opposite. Can someone tell me what can be done? We're fucked! Totally! Wake up people of the United States! Open your mouth and quite being afraid of the dictatorship this country has turned into.

[DenOndeMister]

Welcome to democracy, this is why people in the Ukraine and other nations actually follow up their voting with complaining, and no, not in front of the TV, they go on marches and demonstrate their dislike of the leaders.

[Orchem]

I do indeed empathize with the small cohort of educated people in the US that bring so much good to the world. I think you may have to move though, maybe to Canada.

You can't underestimate the power of many stupid people. Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, and Mike Gravel are/was one of your last chances at preserving your freedom. Dodd is stepping up too it seems. Clinton, Obama, Huckabee, etc. are a joke and so are you if you vote for them.

[LayneRoxxx]

Fine, but change the name to the USSA.

fuuuUUUCK it. You know W. will get everything he wants...he must be the devil.

[Orchem]

At first I was angry what was happening in America, but since I don't live there I find it very humorous that most Americans are pretty uneducated and are heading towards 1984 (G.O). Although it makes a lot of sense. Such a big group of stupid people does need to be controlled by someone, why not George W?

[SwobyJ]

Yeah, essentially I'm going to try to educate myself as much as possible, but I'll just put on a 'I told you so' tone to people in the future once they wizen up.

[Orchem]

I don't understand your comment

[SwobyJ]

ok, what I mean is that I'm going to try to get the highest education I can get here in Canada, so that I can spot all of the things going slowly wrong with the world. Since I'm kind of a defeatist, I'm just going to say 'I told you so' to the people around me when the realize the kind of crap that has been going on is now at their doorstep.

[Orchem]

icic, so you're mocking me. You know I didn't come up with this overnight. I have had so much faith in the American people and some still have admirable values. I've always thought, it is so unfortunate what their corrupt government is doing to them. I've always tried to speak out against such dictatorship not only b/c it is the right thing to do but let's face it, Canada could be next (probably will and then I'll have to move to Norway).

[SwobyJ]

:S I wasn't mocking you...

:( Yeah, basically after I finish university I'm going to try to get the hell out of North America if possible.

[Orchem]

WHy are Americans voting for them? Do they want to continue their downward spiral? Do they not see that ties with Israel means that the US loses its sovergnty?

[Orchem]

oh ok then, that is pretty funny. I know many people feel like you. But I think Canada needs to build a big wall (real and metaphorical) to keep corruption and lobbyists out of here ;-)

[Orchem]

Lately tho, no matter how much I don't want to accept it, it seems that it is not only the government but the people that are corrupt. Look what is happening right now. Gravel, Kucinich, and Ron Paul are being shut out of the debate and the majority doesn't seem to care. WHo's winning the primaries? Clinton, Obabma, Huckabee, Mcain, etc....war mongers who annually speak at AIPAC.

[SwobyJ]

You're right. It appears more and more that it's the people who are changing... but what changes the people? I...well it seems nuts but I'm finding that it all appears to be a semi-calculated attempt to change the people (through media, luxury, etc) to make them more accepting of atrocious acts. ... Are we slowly heading to a new Dark Age?

[SwobyJ]

Canada = America by now. It's hard for many to see that though.

[BRIANTOWN33]

I don't know what to think when the same idiots who are against eavesdropping are also the ones who support gun control, and those who are "pro choice" are against the death penalty????wtf?

[andy55512000]

cheney should be locked up and the key thrown out. he is pure evil and a threat to society.

[nesnman]

You guys are ignorant. This is not happening. I say do everything you can to avoid another 9/11 . I have nothing to hide.

[Telcontar1962]

If you give legal backing to a government spying on your every move what difference does it make if there's another 9/11?

The country and everything noble it stood for has gone anyway. Wake up...the main enemy of any nation is not the one abroad (and given the US's military might that thought is an absurdity) but the government at home.

Germany, Japan, Italy, Russia. How many more examples do you need before the lesson is learned?

[MonkeyFinger23]

"Any society that will give up a little bit of liberty to get a little bit of security will deserve neither and loose both." -Ben Franklin

Nesnan, you don't understand the issue. It's not about having anything to hide. It's about the Bill of Rights and the constitutional powers and limitations of the president. We are a free country for a reason. If we give up the laws that protect our freeoms, we will wont be free. Thats the issue.

[RustyShacklefuurd]

These freedoms have been taken away already.

[RustyShacklefuurd]

you're a sheep

[terraceterra]

Cheney needs to go to prison for a long long time and loose his entire fortune to those who have been harmed by his lies and many acts of treason.

[Telcontar1962]

Thats exactly what needs to be done. Impeachment is ridiculous if it begins and ends there. For the US (and the UK for that matter) the leaders have to be delivered to a war crimes tribunal where prison and loss of all financial assets must be the penalty.

1 good result from reducing the bushes and cheney's of this world to paupers is they might actually understand what they are doing to their own people...all be it too late.

[devknob]

Theres another protect america act, its called Voting for Ron Paul

[historywillabsolve]

cheney's fatass belongs in prison.

[FattKidd]

This is such bullshit. How long do people think it'll be before an administration (if it hasn't already) uses this power to spy on political opponents and compile information that will be used against their enemies/opponents & then take the next logical step of imprisoning political opponents/enemies on trumped up charges where the accused won't be allowed to see the 'evidence' against them?

[RationalLiberty]

I live overseas and my father calls my grandmother every so often.

However, he is a foreign citizen calling the same person continuously and consistently. According to that, he can be listened to by the government. This is outrageous, and I expect all the democratic candidates (and Ron Paul) to denounce this fascism.

[greatbroad]

My heart is sickened- by my beloved country- becoming- what it had once condemned.

935 lies, torture,loss of Habeus Corpus, deficit spending on WAR based on OIL - now legalizing spying.
