The domestic spying debate is no stranger to Washington. As matter of fact, the same argument took place thirty years ago: An intense debate erupted during the Ford administration over the president’s powers to eavesdrop without warrants to gather foreign intelligence, according to newly disclosed government documents. George H.W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney […]
Bush has sure taken on a different tone this week. He has been more forthcoming in his speeches and started agreeing with Senate on controversial legislation (the torture ban). He even accepted responsibility for faulty intelligence this week which lead to the Iraq war. The question is – why? Perhaps you have to look no […]
Keeping with talking about Delay (after all he is so much fun to talk about), here is an interesting little piece of news fromPolitical Money Line: Rep.

The question really should be; what benefit would Joe Wilson have […]
“federal terrorism investigations have resulted in charges against more then 400 suspects, and more than half of those have been convicted†That is a line used routinely by President Bush in speeches urging for the support to renew the Patriot Act.
