“You a slave to a page of my rhyme book”
The President released some more details on Friday about a thwarted terrorist plot in 2002. The President used this example to explain how his domestic spying program is really saving American lives.
With actual results like this its hard to argue with the President about the legality of his eavesdropping measures. The question that I have is more about the timing of this discolsure. It seems that whenever people begin to close in around the legitimacy of the President he distracts them with the threat of violence from an invisible enemy. This causes everyone to duck and cover as if someone were shooting bullets into the air. Its an effective technique, but only when used with discretion. There may come a moment when we Americans need to take out our duct tape and Saran Wrap, but we may not heed the warning because we were previously tricked so often.
The terror plot that was discussed had something to do with an airplane hijacking over Los Angeles. The intercepted phone calls referred to a pair of shoes and a bomb. All I can say is that I am glad that I didn’t have my shoes confiscated when I returned from Paris ‘cuz these bad boys are ‘The Bomb’!
