Really, you're more the Leninist. You are typical of the sort that denies blatant truth, and continuously spews rightist dogma and propaganda. Your comments are generally meaningless because they are just catch phrases, meaningless props to advance a non-truth. There are no Iraqi nukes, no WMDs, Iraq was not an imminent threat to America and the president did not speak truthfully to the people in advance of the war... And the war is going poorly... Not quite the slam dunk the administration said it would be... And what about leaking CIA info to discredit administration opponents... What did Bush say he'd do if anyone in his administration was caught doing such a thing.... Tell us.... Was the president lying when he made that comment? Oh, I know, he mispoke, he meant to say he would do nothing if anyone in his adminstration was caught leaking state secrets...
From the today's NYTs:
"Mr. Arquilla, who was a consultant on Admiral Poindexter's Total Information Awareness project, said that the $40 billion spent each year by intelligence agencies had failed to exploit the power of data mining in correlating information readily available from public sources, like monitoring Internet chat rooms used by Al Qaeda. Instead, he said, the government has been investing huge sums in surveillance of phone calls of American citizens.
"Checking every phone call ever made is an example of old think," he said.
He was alluding to databases maintained at an AT&T data center in Kansas, which now contain electronic records of 1.92 trillion telephone calls, going back decades. The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital-rights advocacy group, has asserted in a lawsuit that the AT&T Daytona system, a giant storehouse of calling records and Internet message routing information, was the foundation of the N.S.A.'s effort to mine telephone records without a warrant."
