Cheney: Credit Checks Aren't Illegal
WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday the Pentagon and CIA are not violating people's rights by examining the banking and credit records of hundreds of Americans and others suspected of terrorism or espionage in the United States.
National security letters permit the executive branch to seek records about people in terrorism and spy investigations without a judge's approval or grand jury subpoena.
"The Defense Department gets involved because we've got hundreds of bases inside the United States that are potential terrorist targets," Cheney said.
"The Department of Defense has legitimate authority in this area. This is an authority that goes back three or four decades. It was reaffirmed in the Patriot Act," he said. "It's perfectly legitimate activity. There's nothing wrong with it or illegal. It doesn't violate people's civil rights."
The Pentagon and the CIA, to a lesser extent, have used this little-known power, officials said. The FBI, the lead agency on domestic counterterrorism and espionage, has issued thousands of such letters since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
The letters have generated criticism and court challenges from civil liberties advocates who claim they invade the privacy of Americans' lives, even though banks and other financial institutions typically turn over the financial records voluntarily.
The vast majority of national security letters are issued by the FBI, but in rare circumstances they have been used by the CIA before and after Sept. 11, according to a U.S. intelligence official. The CIA has used these non-compulsory letters in espionage investigations and other circumstances, the official said.
The New York Times, which reported Sunday on the expanded use of the technique by the Pentagon and CIA, said military intelligence officers have sent the letters in up to 500 investigations.
Cheney was interviewed on "Fox News Sunday."
Fux News...figgers...
So what does this really mean?
It means that if you're a Left-leaning blogger and you get too many hits you may end up on their list - hell, you're subversive, right?
It means if you help to organize a Protest or March or a Demonstration, if you're Cindi Sheehan or Randi Rhodes from Air American radio, or Al Franken or Jesse Jackson or the Dixie Chicks you can bet you're on their list!
Just like Dr. King was. And Abbie Hoffman. And Mark Rudd. And John Lennon. And Jimi Hendrix. And Janis Joplin. And John Kerry. And...
Welcome to the New American Nightmare.
Welcome to 1984.

The Saint's Go Marching On...

Who Needs Mardi Gras? Saints March On

NEW ORLEANS - Who needs Mardi Gras when you're one game from the Super Bowl? Deuce McAllister and rookie sensation Reggie Bush gave this battered city a reason to throw itself a party, carrying the New Orleans Saints where they've never been before _ one game from the Super Bowl.
To constant chants of 'DEUCE!' or 'REG-GIE! REG-GIE!' the Saints used an assortment of spectacular plays to beat the Philadelphia Eagles 27-24.
'This year, some things have happened for us and it's like, wow, this may be destiny,' McAllister said."
Well, it's over for another year, but if the Eagles had to lose, I'm glad it was the Saints who beat them. This is their year, their time to shine. After what New Orleans has been through and all that it is still going through, it is just and fitting that they go on and win the Superbowl. The Saints' are now America's Team as far as I'm concerned, just as the New York Yankees were after September 11, 2001. People who hated the Yanks all their lives climbed on their band-wagon in support, not so much of a team, but of a city that had sufferred a devastating attack on it's citzens and it's heart.
So here's to the New Orleans Saints!
Enjoy your well earned and justly deserved victory. My heart goes with your City and your Team.
Now March on to the Superbowl and bring it home for all of us.
