Mike McConnell’s testimony
I can’t think of what the world is coming to when people can expect to lie under oath, to God, and get away with it. The Director of National Intelligence, Mike McConnell lied to the Senate about whether new FISA anti-terrorism laws helped in stopping a terrorist cell in Germany, (they didn’t, warrants were sought in this particular case). He claimed credit for such a nab in order to drum up support for the laws extension in upcoming legislation. How underhanded! How disingenuous! How very Republican to lie about laws that take basic rights and ride rough shod over them and make it sound like it is necessary to keep us safe. I like my safety coated with a hefty dose of rights and freedoms thank you very much. I don’t think law enforcement is best done behind closed doors. The FISA courts can provide the security necessary for such sensitive issues and I don’t think it is in the best interests of the citizens to give these hucksters and flimflam men the farm.
Mike McConnell needs to officially change his testimony to the Senate.

Get used to it, sweetie. The Power Elites of both parties will lie to your face and justify killing their own mothers in order to grab and hold onto more power and control. Democrat or Republican, their sworn obligation is to perpetuate their own, and their parties, power and control. The people are just lied to enough to keep them braying in line and accepting pablum in place of meaningful leadership that would benefit anyone other than the power elites.
Posted by on September 20, 2007 02:57 PMWhen 'God' is reduced to a mere henchman and a profane means-to-a-political-end, as has been done by the current administration, and the GOP generally for the past several years, then lying under "oath" has no consequence, morally at least.
The tolerance of 'Christians' to allow their religion to be yoked to the political ambitions of one party has reduced their diety to a mere cog in a campaign apparatus - a tragic and unnecessary type of idolatry.
For the pius Christian, who may feel offended by this, please have the humility to consider the possibility that you've been led astray by the Father of Lies.

Posted by Keith on September 20, 2007 09:30 PMSimple solution. Cull the herd of GOP felons. "Chicken-Choker" Craig, is all but gone. We need to help Dan Rather. Bush is a 40+ years AWOLee, deserter, and UCMJ-felon. Let's court martial Bush. I tried, but GOP felons Tancredo and Allard (communist-sider), scuttled my lawful UCMJ charges. In violation of federal law, Tancredo and Allard, knowingly scrapped my charges against Bush and they are required by federal law to forward my charges to the US Congress, US Court of Military Appeals, and Defense Secy. Gates. My retired military paygrade is O-4 and 1st Lt. Bush's paygrade is O-2. Therefore, Bush is my subordinate as defined in the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and Manual of Court Martial. Tancredo and Allard committed felony offense in their political cover-up. Concerned citizens should call Tancredo and Allard and aske these 2 pimps of oppression why they violated the law. By the way, the GOP doesn't like my charges, then they should "strike" military retirees from the UCMJ.
Last but not leastly, the same criminal UCMJ felony charges apply to USSC Judge Alito too. Like Bush, Alito blew off his military obligation too. Alito pimped taxpayers through the US Army's ROTC program. Alito got 7 years of free college education (JD and undergraduate degrees). He incurred an 11 year active military duty obligation as a result of these gifts. Alito blew off his obligation under the guise of him being a federal law clerk. Federal law clerk isn't mentioned in the UCMJ, and therfore, Alito and Bush should both be sentenced to 3 years in federal prison. Pretend they are black.
