Sometimes when you fight the Devil, you gotta jab him with his own pitchfork!

The Democrats are getting wound up to complain long and loud about a program that is popular with the American people. Polls show that the majority of Americans are ok with the phone companies turning over phone records to the Government. The Democrats are going to wail and moan and demand investigations, as usual, on and on ad infinitum. That is pretty much all they have done for the last 4 years, demand investigations into this and into that. We don't need an investigation, we know what happened. The government, excoriated by the 9/11 commision for derelection of duty, tried to do the right thing by requesting call records. There, now we don't need an investigation any more. Everybody feels safer knowing that big brother is watching out for us. No one feels safer knowing that the Democrats are determined to expose every last intelligence strategy the Bush administration has developed for watching terrorist cells in the US and abroad. Like an ex CIA agent once said, "We are always engaged in illegal activity, we go into other countries and break their laws and spy on them, our job, by its very nature is illegal"
