One way of looking at this is that the Telcos get off by dropping a dime on the White House for violating the constitutional rights of their subscribers. Evidence for impeachment proceedings?

This is so self-farcical that it reminds me of "The Piranha Brothers" skit from Monty Python:

"Stig: Er... well he didn't tell me that, but he gave me his word that it was the case, and that's good enough for me with old Dinsy. I mean, he didn't *want* to nail my head to the floor. I had to insist. He wanted to let me off. He'd do anything for you, Dinsdale would."

Bush states that he won't deal with a party that espouses terrorism.  But isn't the Al-Aqsa Martyr Brigade - certainly the highest-profile terrorist organization in Palestine currently - a faction of the Fatah movement?

Well if not for the purpose of torture -- that is, for evading U.S. laws -- then what exactly is the purpose of transporting "detainees" to different countries for interrogation instead of doing it ourselves?  

It doesn't pass the BS test.

Perhaps the best thing that the Democrats having going for them in 2006 is no clear leader for their national party.  It is quite possible that a diverse mix of congressional candidates working their own local campaigns could provide a more compelling platform in their own districts than a Gore or Kerry or a warmed-over Contract With America could at a national level.

Is the target audience here the electorate in general, or more specifically the potential jurors for the Libby (and Rove and ???) trial?
