A judge ruled today that the warrantless wiretapping by the government was unconstitutional and ordered them to stop. So my question is this: Why can't the White House just go to the FISA court and get a court order retroactivelly? If they did, they wouldn't have any problems with it being unconstitutional because the courts would have given them permission. If they would have done this in the first place, they wouldn't have had a problem. Are they just too proud to admit that they went about it the wrong way, or is there something going on that they don't want us to know about?

I hear peole today talking about capitalism versus socialism. Without SOME socialism, we wouldn't have a middle class, and without a middle class, we couldn't afford all of those tax cuts for the very poor, and the very rich. SInce the middle class is paying for all of those tax cuts, shouldn't we be SUPPORTING our middle class? Or would you rather have just rich and poor..?

I watched an episode of Myth-Busters the other day, and they took an old naturally carbeurated car motor and disconnected the fuel lines. They then took a tank of hydrogen and put the hose in the top of the carbeurator and started the car. It ran fine, as if it were running on gas. WTF? Why are we not already using this technology?? I had no idea it could work so simply! The motor they used was almost 20 years old!!

Can anyone explain to me who "the less fortunate" people are.

And I'm sure you are not going to say the ones not born rich are less fortunate, because 90% of the U.S. is not born rich.

I wan't to know who is less fortunate enough in this country to have the opportunity to succeed.

I remember Carter and the hostage days like yesterday and although I was not old enough to vote I still remember the shame I felt as an American as he coward in the White House, unable to do a thing about the situation. I remember the shame of the failed rescue attempt as well. Do you remember the shame of that as I do?

Socialism and Communism do not allow greatness. The first commandment of Socialism is "Tho shalt not do better than thy neighbor" I don't see the appeal.

Everyone likes to throw this word around like it has some sort of meaning as a way to describe a certain kind of person. "Liberal" is defined as the following:

1-Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry.

2-Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded.

3-Of, relating to, or characteristic of liberalism.

4-Liberal Of, designating, or characteristic of a political party founded on or associated with principles of social and political liberalism, especially in Great Britain, Canada, and the United States.

I saw an email as to why to Tobacco co's support Republicans. I decided to check and this is an accurate statement the facts is that over $2.3M was spent by the tobacco co's on political campaigns to date in 06 and $1.7M went to Republicans. What is not stated is that the lawyers that sue the tobacco companies have spent ytd $72M and over $50M of that is for Democrats. Just wondering why in a society that is bogged down by litigation more people aren't as outraged with this descrepancy as they are by the relative pittance that the tobacco co spend now that we have regulated them and their consumers to non-person status? In fact of the top 10 all time political donors 8 are overwhelmingly 70%+ Democrat 1 is overwhelmingly Republican and one is with the margin of error. The sources for this are several but the one that is the most comprehensive on this subject is Opensecrets.org truly a wonderful check and balance site.

George W. Bush's brother was on the board of directors of a company providing electronic security for the World Trade Center, Dulles International Airport and United Airlines, according to public records. The company was backed by an investment firm, the Kuwait-American Corp., also linked for years to the Bush family.

The security company, formerly named Securacom and now named Stratesec, is in Sterling, Va.. Its CEO, Barry McDaniel, said the company had a ``completion contract" to handle some of the security at the World Trade Center ``up to the day the buildings fell down."

It also had a three-year contract to maintain electronic security systems at Dulles Airport, according to a Dulles contracting official. Securacom/Stratesec also handled some security for United Airlines in the 1990s, according to McDaniel, but it had been completed before his arriving on the board in 1998.

McDaniel confirmed that the company has security contracts with the Department of Defense, including the U.S. Army, but did not detail the nature of the work, citing security concerns. It has an ongoing line with the General Services Administration - meaning that its bids for contracts are noncompetitive - and also did security work for the Los Alamos laboratory before 1998.

Marvin P. Bush, the president's youngest brother, was a director at Stratesec from 1993 to fiscal year 2000. But the White House has not publicly disclosed Bush connections in any of its responses to 9/11, nor has it mentioned that another Bush-linked business had done security work for the facilities attacked.

Marvin Bush joined Securacom when it was capitalized by the Kuwait-American Corporation, a private investment firm in D.C. that was the security company's major investor, sometimes holding a controlling interest. Marvin Bush has not responded to telephone calls and e-mails for comment.

KuwAm has been linked to the Bush family financially since the Gulf War. One of its principals and a member of the Kuwaiti royal family, Mishal Yousef Saud al Sabah, served on the board of Stratesec.

The managing director at KuwAm, Wirt D. Walker III, was also a principal at Stratesec, and Walker, Marvin Bush and al Sabah are listed in SEC filings as significant shareholders in both companies during that period.

Marvin Bush's last year on the board at Stratesec coincided with his first year on the board of HCC Insurance, formerly Houston Casualty Co., one of the insurance carriers for the WTC. He left the HCC board in November 2002.

But none of these connections has been looked at during the extensive investigations since 9/11. McDaniel says principals and other personnel at Stratesec have not been questioned or debriefed by the FBI or other investigators. Walker declined to answer the same question regarding KuwAm, referring to the public record.

Walker is also chairman and CEO of Aviation General, a Tulsa, Okla.-based aviation company with two subsidiaries. SEC filings also show al Sabah as a principal and shareholder in Aviation General, which was recently delisted by the Nasdaq. Stratesec was delisted by the American Stock Exchange in October 2002.

The suite in which Marvin Bush was annually re-elected, according to public records, is located in the Watergate in space leased to the Saudi government. The company now holds shareholder meetings in space leased by the Kuwaiti government there. The White House has not responded to various requests for comment.

Speaking of the Watergate, Riggs National Bank, where Saudi Princess Al-Faisal had her ``Saudi money trail" bank account, has as one of its executives Jonathan Bush, an uncle of the president. The public has not learned whether Riggs - which services 95 percent of Washington's foreign embassies - will be turning over records relating to Saudi finance.

Meanwhile, Bush has nominated William H. Donaldson to head the Securities and Exchange Commission. Donaldson, a longtime Bush family friend, was a Yale classmate of Jonathan Bush.

On the very day of the tragic space shuttle crash, the government appointed an independent investigative panel, and rightly so. Why didn't it do the same on Sept. 12, 2001?
