Speak truth to power-Just heard some of opening comments regarding

[rodeodance]

Hayden hearing. Sen Levin,who is standing in for Jay Rochefeller made the comment that he did not want to have the CIA twist intell like Tenet did. Sen. Roberts comments also used the motto-speak truth to power. He approves of NSA, says it is legal.

[rodeodance]

1. Roberts said we will not have civil liberties if we are dead.

[rodeodance]

2. Hayden is a shoe in based on Roberts comments.

[Dhalgren]

3. I would love to hear what Patrick Henry would say to the

traitor Roberts!

[rodeodance]

6. Sen.Roberts has adopted 'truth to power' slogen.

[rodeodance]

7. Fox is carrying the hearing now.

[rodeodance]

8. I missed the very opening--I do not know if he was sworn in.

[rodeodance]

10. Hayden said there was an endlessly picking apart of PAST intell.

[rodeodance]

13. Roberts said airing the critical comments in public in not good. Praised

the past intell by the his committee (17-0).

[annabanana]

11. Yes, Hayden is sworn. . . . . .n/t

[rodeodance]

16. thanks. I had assumed that for this postion he would have to be.

[Fridays Child]

14. I'd like to think Patrick Henry would say that, without liberty...

...we might as well be dead.

[ninkasi]

19. He might say

"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains, or slavery? Forbid it almighty
god. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death."

Oh, wait...he did say that.

[meegbear]

4. And we won't have any while we're alive ...

what an asshole.

[rodeodance]

18. He certainly made it clear ---that civil liberties be DAMMNED!

[annabanana]

9. Then Roberts is a sniveling coward.

We have heretofor relied on the willingness of Patriots to Die to protect our Liberties...

(Clearly this one is not up to the job)

[Beelzebud]

12. Give Me Liberty, Or Give Me Death.

Has this coward ever heard that statement before?

What a fucking coward.

[Norquist Nemesis]

15. It's unbelievable he spews that BS

It's crap and demonstrates how AQ is winning.

[notadmblnd]

5. Why hasn't anyone gone after Roberts?

it's obvious he's the gatekeeper. Isn't there any dirt on him?

[rodeodance]

17. I have no idea.

[notadmblnd]

20. Sure is odd. Specter, Lott, Delay Frist, Hastert...

narry a one that doesn't have dirt on the but Roberts is clean? If you ask me, he's too clean
