Fortune Favors the Bold

I bets you there is no secrets that they don't know about

They can simply say to us - knowing the secrets that we cannot tell you for national security reason, we had to vote yes.

LOL!

Yeah, they're probably playing pinochle right now.

OK CNN.COM

it is about Bush pushing through new surveillance laws, guess we don't have enough for him.

basically, he's keeping

basically, he's keeping himself from getting charged with crimes by forcing FISA laws through. I hope that crook burns in hell forever..........or at least a prison cell until then.

You know

It's truly sad when Clinton gets impeached over what basically amounted to a hummer. Yes I know he lied under oath, but come on. This Bushman has a laundry lists of reasons to be impeached and ejected out of office, along with Cheney. These monsters!!!!! I can't wait until they are out.

so what happened?

Panama Canal and Cuba

When you say NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please indicate when now is and what time zone you are in. Otherwise people reading this after your urgent event has passed will be wasting their time if they go looking for it.

New Hampshire and Ecuador

You are correct, I posted in earnest.

Though in real time there were replies and I reposted with the info you suggest. for the reason you suggest, I'm sorry to have wasted your time. All the best, Thank you for your time.

And even the hypocrites who

And even the hypocrites who objected to the secret meeting, withdrew their reservations! Why? I would have stuck to my principles and said "No, I do not withdraw. My reservations stand." No courage! Lot of butt-kissing too ("my friend"). Sick!

No one knows...

Except for the people in the House session. Closed secret session of the house started at 10:30 PM eastern time and will go on for an expected hour.

Well - said secret session

but then people were talking about what was happening...

So, the objections came BEFORE they shut the door.

Bush must really be worried and knows something is coming down the pike and wants immunity.

Don't worry, he/they will get what is coming to them - this is, after all, the short life. It's eternity that should really concern them!

Ask youself. What is the stumbling block with FISA? and why the

secret session? Bush says that he will VETO any FISA bill that comes out of Congress that does not include immunity for the telecom companies that agreed to cooperate with the federal government in spying on U.S. citizens. It's all for U.S. corporations that Roy Blunt is taking the unprecedented step of dragging the congress into secret session. Like Obey said "this is all B.S."...

The meeting is at 10:00 P.M.

I hope Dr. Paul can make it.

List of closed sessions of the House:
The House met frequently in secret session until the end of the War of 1812. The House has met in closed session only 6 (including tonight) times since 1825. The following is a full list of those sessions, along with their dates and the reasons they were called:

Reason Date(s) :

  • Electronic Surveillance of Terror Suspects March 13, 2008
  • U.S. support for paramilitary operations in Nicaragua 1983
  • Involvement of Cuba and communist countries in Nicaragua 1980
  • Implementing the Panama Canal Act of 1979
  • Trade between the U.S. and Great Britain 1830
  • Relations with Indian tribes 1825

Not to ruin the party

but those examples don't sound too Earth shattering. I thought it may be something more dramatic, like "what the hell is on the list to sell the public on the economy is just doing fine ".

that's the problem...

We don't know what in the hell they are talking about. The other ones could have been about just about anything but we'll never know. Every time our government becomes less transparent, it usually means the American people get screwed in the end.

So they they are just saying

in public that is has to do with revisions to surveillance blah,blah issues, and is about something else entirely.

I don't know about that...

I'm sure it's about all the success stories that have come about because of FISA. All the plots disrupted...all the terrorists caught. My only point is that if this legislation has done such good, why not let the American people know about all its success? They could certainly do that without jeopardizing national security I would think. After all, aren't "we the people" the entities that this bill is designed to protect?

Meeting in secret undermines the faith of the American people in their government (if they ever took time to notice) and only serves to set the precedent for more future secret meetings.
