theobromophile The fact that we even need to have a discussion on the matter of foreign electronic surveillance, which isn’t wiretapping, makes me fear for my countries safety, and astounds me that so many can be so blinded by their political alliances, that they can’t understand the value of surveillance. It is impossible to surveil every citizen in this country, if the desire even existed, and is the most ludicrous of all the arguments opposing the legal and valid government action of monitoring all incoming communications from suspect callers.
As AG Alberto Gonzalez stated last Tuesday:
“The terrorist surveillance program is both necessary and lawful,” Gonzales said. “Accordingly, the president has done with this lawful authority the only responsible thing: use it.”
I could list many arguments in favor of this practice, and could recite or wait for the counter arguments, but instead I will give one example, from a recent event, where the use of foreign surveillance stopped an Al Qaida terrorist act in the UK.
“If you can’t find a Muslim, ANY squaddie will do.”
An MI5 source explained: “We had known for some time via routine terrorist ‘chatter’ we monitor worldwide of a vague plot but it seemed that was all it was — words.
The head of MI5, Eliza Manningham-Buller, said recently that at any one time there are about 30 top-level Islamic terror plots under way in this country that we are fully committed combating.
“This was not one of them. It was far lower priority until that message from AQ in Pakistan in explicit terms, which activated this sleeper group into carrying out the attack.
“Last weekend the security services discovered another message had been brought to Birmingham which ordered the suspects to strike immediately – and if they couldn’t find a Muslim squaddie, simply snatch any serviceman or woman off the street.
What would have been the result, had the British Intelligence agents not intercepted this information? A gruesome act of murder, which could have been replicated many more times.
I have supported the use of all means of protecting our country, even before 9-11, as our complacency finally caught up with us as a nation. I pray we don’t become complacent again, or blinded by false messages of loss of freedoms from the left, as the left isn’t averse to taking freedoms away from those that disagree with them, irrespective of what the consequences are to the nation.
Also, Police praise Muslim soldiers who acted as ‘bait’ for beheading gang.

Is it just me, or did Muscular Liberalism suddenly vanish for y’all, too?
Sop the firstie is about another thread?
/hmmph!
Must be you Swampie, just checked, and it’s still the same as it ever was, with another link added at the bottom of the post.
Uh huh, or any Jew, American, or Brit.
Oh…wait!
Was that a rhetorical question?
The AQ in Pakistan was growing impatient, they just wanted a UK soldier butchered up for all the world to see. It’s terrorism, and is intended to terrorize decent folks. Sounds like their ’sleeper cell’ wasn’t quite wide awake.
It comes up for me as Sorry, no posts matched your criteria. In a very insincere, unsorry sort of way.
I think AQ/Pakistan is trying to cause widespread retaliation against the Muslim population in England so they can get all pointy-fingered and whine about intolerance.
Still works for me, so it must be you.
I’ll shut down and reboot.
Could be, Swampie.
If you read the article in it’s entirety, the AQ boyeez were upset they didn’t have their big summer event, when the airliner ploy was discovered, and wanted any kind of terrorist act to take place.
Yep, and I believe it’s just a matter of time before this type of terror attacks against the civilian population.
Nope, the whole thing on muscular liberalism does not exist for me.
/I’ve been thrust into the outer darkness.
I agree, it’s only a matter of time.
Let’s just hope the sleeper cells here hit the snooze button.
That’s really weird, Swampie.
And speaking of terrorism (scary music) I have informed SwampMan in no uncertain terms that if he gets me one of those over-advertised Vermont bears for Valentines Day, I will hit him upside the head. I want something chocolate. Damnit.
What about something with Shrimp in it?
somehow, I clicked the wrong button on muscular liberalism, and it became invisible. I was imagining all kinds of conspiracy theories and such. Then I remembered the “private” button on the “post status” editing page. Anyhoo, it’s fixed now.
The only thing I can think of is that I somehow screwed up something or the link I put in my last post wasn’t kosher.
LOL!!!
You guys.
Thanks, Nuke, Ah Kin See! I been HEALED, praise the Lord.

Shrimp is okay, but I really hate peeling shrimp so nothing boiled. Yanking out their little insect-like legs and pulling off their carapace is just yucky.
Whoops, I think that should have been shrimp ARE okay since shrimp are like tater chips, you never eat just one.
Anyway, for the women in your life, you probably can’t go wrong with chocolate unless she’s on a low-cal diet, then you probably can’t go wrong with something sparkly like a plasma cutter.
You know, cleaning the soap scum from my shower door this afternoon, reminded me that men and women do shower differently.
Ohmygawd! (They mostly got the sequence of shower products correct, but left off the rinse off body moisturizer applied last.)
cleaning the shower.
/what a concept
For me it’s shampoo with a combo shampoo/conditioner, bath with Ivory soap, and towel off before I step out.
I live alone, so I try not to be too messy.
Not as obsessed with my ding-a-ling, like that guy is, though.
I like clean. Just doing it hardcore, like today, takes alot of time and energy, so try not to get it too messed up between major cleanings.
Heh. No as obsessed, huh? Oh, nevermind, I don’t want to know what that means.
Good night y’all.
Have to get up early, and cake walk into town.
Henh…you just don’t know what’s like, Swampie.
/say hello to my lil friend
G’night, then. Dang, class manana.
nite y’all
We’re far too nice to Muslim extremists.
Definitely far too nice.
Woman with bionic arm regains sense of touch. Sort of. But it functions far, far better.
Bwahahaha. Mark Steyn’s column takes on global
cooling,warmingclimate change in What’s so hot about fickle science?The only foreign surveillance that the Democrats will pass would be cameras stationed in Greenland and Iceland watching for signs of global warming. You know like polar bears on icebergs. That sort of thing. Not Muslim (the religion of peace) conversations.
