Shhhhhh, It’s a Secret
So the administration has their collective panties in a bunch over the New York Times story on financial transaction monitoring. President George W. Bush (6/26/06): “…And the disclosure of this program is disgraceful. We’re at war with a bunch of people who want to hurt the United States of America, and for people to leak [...]
Confused
I sure as heck don’t want to commit treason, but I’m confused out of my mind.
