Gonzalez is a power hungry freak. I suspect that all of the constitutional scholars around the country are pulling their hair out listening to his answers:wtf:
a) there are no al-Qaeda in America (they got what they wanted on 9/11) or b) there are al-Qaeda operatives but they're given a free pass because the neocons need another LIHOP
9. Exactly. If we get attacked again, it's definitely going to be LIHOP
The administration disobeys the laws and still can't catch the terrorists?
We live in some sort of Bizarro World, where the threat of terrorist attack is allowed to run constantly in the background, a useful tool to keep the sheople ever so slightly yet perpetually on edge.
second, they are much more valuable to the corporate fascists and the criminal gang they have installed in power if they remain free. that way the "terrorists" can be used as a perpetual boogey man to scare the idiots and justify a further intrenchment of fascism, destruction of rights and perpetually profitable "war."
Tapping domestic landline phone conversations and so forth to catch terrorists is about as logical as expecting a suicide bomber to willingly submit to a search in an airport or subway. It's ineffectual and a complete and utter waste of resources.
And don't forget, it's recently come to light that BushCo started wiretapping BEFORE 9/11 -- i.e. before the WOT and before Congress gave Bush** any (supposed) authority.
BushCo are waging a war all right, but it isn't against terrorists.
