Dem–MSM Alliance Seems to Want Us Dead
As the Muslim plot to blow up as many as 10 transatlantic passenger planes at the height of tourist season widens to other countries, it is becoming increasingly obvious that a catastrophe that would rival 9/11 in terms of loss of life was averted thanks to tactics the New York Times and its despicable ilk have done their best to prevent authorities from employing by exposing and loudly denouncing attempts to monitor overseas calls, bank transfers, and phone logs.
According to British antiterrorism chief Peter Clarke, the plot was foiled because authorities had "a large number of people" under surveillance, monitoring their "spending, travel, and communications."
WSJ is right to wonder "if Scotland Yard would have succeeded if the ACLU or the New York Times had first learned the details of such surveillance programs."
The Left's representatives in our government continue to undermine our defenses against Islamic terror any way they can. Top Senate Dem Harry Reid — who prematurely boasted of having "killed" reauthorization of the Patriot Act — reacted to the recent news by sniping at the President's policy in the Middle East. When the Times exposed the FISA program that collects information on overseas calls so that terrorist activities might be monitored, Reid denounced it as an "NSA domestic spying program" and croaked that it was illegal.
Fellow Dem Senator Ted Kennedy had this to say in light of the aborted atrocities:
[I]t is clear that our misguided policies are making America more hated in the world and making the war on terrorism harder to win.
If Kennedy has any sober interludes at all, he is probably aware that 1995's foiled "Bojinka" plot was nearly identical to the one that was just disrupted. Yet he and the rest of his contemptible party expect us to believe that if Bush didn't insist on confronting the menace of Muslim terrorism, it wouldn't exist.
The Dem–MSM alliance has also made it nearly impossible to interrogate terrorists, and difficult even to keep them incarcerated. Naturally they disapprove of the ethnic profiling that was almost certainly employed to zero in on the British-born Pakistanis who were behind the plot. The idea of taking the war to the enemy, so that they are too busy playing defense to attack us, is so adamantly rejected by Democrats that it caused them to dump their own recent Vice Presidential candidate in favor of the absurd little twit Ned Lamont. Some Dems are demented enough to demand Bush be impeached for his successful efforts to defend us from Islamic terrorism.
Yet millions of people are still willing to take the advice of the NY Times and vote for the profoundly execrable Democratic Party, even as it places their own lives at risk.

Thank god there are sites like this one that realize the only way to combat terrorism is with a highly effective police state.

It looks like the SCOTUS bitch-slap over Bush making his own laws at Gitmo knocked a little sense into the administration.
It appears that no warrantless surveilliance was done in the British plot.
There was increased activity at the FISA courts, apparently Bush decided the Democrats were right on the best way to go after terrorists afterall -- the AMERICAN way!
