Maybe the problem is after 8 years of Bush, things have gotten so bad in DC no one trusts anyone else to tell the truth.......including one democrat to another. God knows few Americans trust what's going on in that town. If liberals won’t believe what a Republican says about the terrorist wiretap bill, maybe they’ll believe liberal Democrat Jay Rockefeller: Pelosi's position on wiretaps The House left town last week for two weeks letting the wiretap laws expire because Pelosi and many of the House Democrats oppose granting immunity to telecom companies for cooperating with the government to wiretap possible terrorists abroad. This despite the Senate Democrats who passed a bill giving those companies immunity and what the Director of National Intelligence, Michael McConnell has testified. This is not some partisan power play by the administration, but is backed by Democrat Jay Rockefeller. And McConnell directed the NSA under Bill Clinton and has never been regarded as a partisan fearmonger. As the Wall Street Journal writes today, ntelligence Chairman Jay Rockefeller, a Democrat, on the Senate floor last week: "What people have to understand around here is that the quality of the intelligence we are going to be receiving is going to be degraded. It is going to be degraded. It is already going to be degraded as telecommunications companies lose interest."
