    A “Phone Poll” about “Phone Surveilance” is kind of a joke isnt it?

    Ok, this is start­ing to look like para­noia. THEY’RE PHONE RECORDS, NOT PHONE RECORDINGS. Gawd. Even if they WERE phone recordings…who cares? Would you really rather have Moussaoui and his lit­tle group of human fire­crack­ers liv­ing next door, plan­ning the next big attack? GET REAL PEOPLE! Were at war. Just because you don’t see the enemy on your doorstep when you go to work in the morn­ing doesn’t mean they aren’t out and about and DYING to try to attack us again at home.

    So, we want Bush to con­nect the dots, but not col­lect the dots. (Hattip Lileks or Mark Steyn, I can’t remem­ber which.) EXCUSE ME! We def­i­nitely have a prob­lem here. Regards Keith

    I just love how the media hys­te­ria is being col­lec­tively ignored by the pub­lic. My God, the gov­ern­ment is try­ing to pre­vent another 9/​11?!! Can you believe it?!!
    You can even see Noah join­ing in here, round­ing up all the media fear mon­ger­ing and Bush = Hitler insin­u­a­tion he can lay his hands on.
    And the crowd yawned.
    Whaddya wanna bet that all these same news out­lets already have their “Bush and Cheney asleep at the switch” sto­ries already writ­ten for the next ter­ror­ist event.
    Then they can run around shriek­ing about how the President isn’t doing any­thing to keep us safe and how Cheney’s cronies at Halliburton profit from this sort of thing.
    And they won­der why nobody pays atten­tion to them.

    Oh, and the irony of Noah’s med­ley of media hys­te­ria is so savory. This, from a guy that forces you to reveal your email address and/​or divulge your name to post a com­ment.
    Noah track­ing peo­ple for web­site secu­rity pur­poses is okay, but the gov­ern­ment track­ing down ter­ror­ists from a list of phone num­bers is ver­boten.
    Pot. Kettle. Black.

    I agree with your arti­cle. However, if you want to be a truly suc­cess­ful MMORPG player, you will find it is bet­ter to buy cheap Dofus Kamas game money.
