Surveillance Bill Goes Forward

The Bush regime wins again. The supine Senate Republicans who never found an opportunity to protect the Constitution that they didn’t run away from caved in and allowed the examination of Bush’s surveillance program to be done in secret. Here’s the New York Times take: Democratic Effort to Limit Surveillance Bill Is Blocked

Well at least the Democrats tried.

Let me see now: the secret folks are ghoing to examine whether the secret police are playing nicely with the constitution. The evidence will be, well secret; and the process will be, er sceret. And the outcome? … well that’ll be secret. Let’s just say that you and I will never know what was said and not said. So this is what the land of the free is all about?

Gotcha!

Just be careful what you say and who you say it to. Or you may become a secret.

Land of the free … my @*! … poor old founding fathers must be turning in their graves.

Sorry!!! Shouldn’t have said that. It’s a secret.
