« Debunking the, "Clinton did it too," meme... | Main | Don't call her Bin Laden! » December 23, 2005
It's rare, but it happens... I agree 100% with Paul's statement on the NSA Spying case. This might surprise some of you long time Wizbang readers, but I think the Democrats are absolutely correct. We need a congressional investigation. Amen.... UPDATE: After getting a comment on this post, I am not sure if Paul and I have the same motives. (Maybe he is mixing the KA, hell I don't know...) Nevertheless, I agree that this calls for hearings. The Conservatives want to shoot the whistleblower. I want to know if the whistleblowing was justified... Second Update: Paul ships me a crow sandwitch all the way to Costa Rica, and Yummy too. It's okay dude, I forgot about your occassional forays into satire. It's all good. Lets have the hearings anyway. And Boyd, I got your point. I am not sure I agree with it. Since I dont think the AQ guys are so stupid that they dont know we have these capabilities. Nevertheless, I am still concerned about the spying itself. No one has give a satisfactory explanation as to why Bush did not go to the Courts for the spying orders. I have no problems with the whistleblower being persecuted under principle. Likewise I want to see the people who outted Val Plame prosecuted. At least my position remains consistent huh?

finish quoting the rest of the post... what name is mentioned there at the end? oh yeah, someone from the clinton administration, who directly supports that the constitution gives the president power to issue warrantless searches so long as the president is protecting the United States from an external threat. This precedent has been held up multiple times, starting in the late 70s, in a challenge to liberal icon Jimmy Carter. Read Article II of the Constitution, maybe you can make sense of it... but i'm sure you know what youre talking about already, you've proven that, surely. Posted by: tom at December 23, 2005 05:59 PM You know by now that you misunderstood Paul's point, so I'll let that one go, David. But there's a critical point that needs to be made here: I want to know if the whistleblowing was justified... I can answer that one for you, David: it wasn't justified. And while we can debate until we're blue in the face whether or not the President has the authority to order this type of eavesdropping, one thing isn't in question: the "whistleblower" broke the law, and in a most heinous manner. This type of scum disgusts me. If they objected to the operation, there are other, legal ways to go about voicing their objection instead of blabbing about some of the most highly classified intelligence capabilities we posses, and to the news media, to boot. What a chickenshit. While I'm not sure I'd go so far myself, I can see why some call your "hero" a traitor. Posted by: Boyd at December 23, 2005 07:57 PM Before we prosecute the people who "outted" Valerie Plame, first it has to be established that that's a crime. But let's not go down that road, since we'll never agree. Posted by: Boyd at December 23, 2005 08:44 PM Post a comment
