I'm sitting here typing this article after flipping through the news channels scanning the latest news of the day. Naturally, the story of the day is this "grave offense" of scanning potential terrorists bank records to actually see what they are doing with the money, who they are getting it from, and where it is going. The horror of being proactive in the fight on terror! Shame on the Bush Administration! Why have I not listened to Ted Kennedy and Rep. Ed Markey from Massachusetts, who yesterday said it was something that needed to be investigated and reined in before it got out of control. One problem though Ed, members of Congress had already been briefed on the program. Your colleagues knew about it. Maybe you didn't know about it, but they did. Of course, you all think its "proactive" to wiretap . You are willing to sell off this country's jewels, constitution and its soul to either fill your pockets or ward off that paranoid feeling that someone is about to nuke the US. [BTW those feelings of paranoia are caused by heartburn and hyperventilation from overeating and getting no exercise......see SUVs.....which prompts your bodies to go into the fight or flight response. Don't know what the fight or flight response is? You can find an explanation on google.]. Since you could care less about those things that are important to this country you are ready to chuck them at any moment for any reason. Sorry dude, we've seen the mess you've made of Iraq, New Orleans, Beaumont, TX, the UN, our allies etc. Do you really think we are going to look the other way when you all start screwing with the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence??? I don't think so!

One problem though Ed, members of Congress had already been briefed on the program. Your colleagues knew about it. Maybe you didn't know about it, but they did. Of course, you all think its proactive to scan bank records or wiretap phones or let the police break into a house without a subpoena. You've made it very clear that you would sell America's crown jewels, its Constitution and its soul in a heartbeat in order to either fill your pockets or keep at bay your fears of a nuke falling on the US. [BTW your fears come from eating too much and not getting enough exercise.......see SUVs. It leads to heartburn and hyperventilation which in turn leads to the fight or flight response. Don't know what fight or flight is? There's an explanation on google.....look it up.] Of course, privacy means nothing to you all and you would like the rest of us to look the other way. Sorry, dude, no can do. You made a mess of Iraq, New Orleans, Beaumont, TX, the UN, America's relationships with its allies etc. Do you really think we are about to look the other way when you start tinkering with the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence? I don't think so!
