they will spoon feed congress just what they want to let out which supports their program. Sounds to me like they "dropped trough" and showed everything to the intelligence committee. And lord, I can only imagine what they were shown, but I have no doubt it was probably very "clarifying" with regard to the threat that is being posed by Al Qai'da terrorists against this country. It's one thing to speak indirectly about the means by which intelligence is collected. But when one actually hears what the parties are plotting, it's hard NOT to use electronic surveillance to fight terrorism. And guess what... that's just electronic intelligence... I wonder how people perceive how we go about collected other forms of intelligence. The world of terrorism is dirty and evil. There are real scum-bags involved that must be dealt with because they might "drop a dime" on their rivals/associates (usually for money). And unfortunately, sometimes folks who operate in this business have a hard time dealing with how sullied their personal lives become as a result. Hawk
