Democrats Plan To Aid Terrorists And Stop NSA Surveillance

Here is some news Americans need to know heading into these elections: Democrats plan to surrender Iraq to Al Qaeda and will certainly aid the terrorists by dismantling the NSA’s Terrorist Surveillance Program (TSP) if they win. And the will do it with glee.

But most independent political analysts expect Democrats to pick up between three and five seats in the Senate, and possibly more. Without the political pressure of a looming election and with a strengthened hand coming in the next Congress, Senate Democrats would probably filibuster Republican wiretapping legislation this year, congressional Democrats said.

As I pointed out many times before, the TSP has been active for decades, and was lauded by the Church Committee in the late seventies which set up FISA. Why lauded? Because any leads on US based terrorist activities were promptly thrown in the trash, never to see the light of day. This tradition led to 9-11 not being detected as the highjackers were caught communicating with their masters overseas while here in the US.

After 9-11 Bush directed the NSA to pass their leads to the FBI for review. Those leads which represented a possible threat were then taken to the FISA Court to obtain warrants to monitor all the communications of these people. Ansent a warrant the NSA simply monitored those calls to known terrorists overseas – as they would do anyhow.

The ignorant claims that the NSA can go to FISA and request warrants simply exposes the lack of knowledge about the FISA process after 9-11. The FISA Court has never allowed any warrant on NSA intel alone. While we knocked some common sense into the process, the FISA Court will not use NSA intel as the basis of probable cause per the judges decisions. So the NSA cannot get permission to do its mission – and it is should not have to. There is no legal way for the NSA to get a warrant based on NSA leads – none. The question has always been what to do when the NSA detects communications between terrorists overseas and someone here in the states. If we lose the TSP we go back to the pre 9-11 days of self imposed blinders. Terrorists will once again have freedoms to communicate with their masters once they reach these shores.

And the Democrats are ready to take us back to the pre 9-11 insanity of deliberately ignoring evidence of possilble pending attack simply because it was the NSA which was the agency to first detect the activities. The Democrats are ready, willing and able to risk our lives to appease their rabid leftwing base. Me nor my family are going to die for some liberal idiotic law theory that says once Bin Laden’s agents reach our shores the get special protections that will allow them to finalize their plans for attack and mass murder. Think hard about this year’s election. It truly is a matter of life and death for you and your loved ones.
