CIA Agent: Bush used CIA to dig up dirt on Iraq war critics

But but but....Bush is my hero, he make me safer and save me from brown jihad people!!!!

M'fuker

 

To be fair, Bush wasn't smart enough for something like this. This has Cheney written all over it.

 

this is for the but they're all the same crowd, obama is no change.

 

This is great news for John Kerry!

 

ok that was funny.

 

Am I being too cynical in thinking that basically every president does what Nixon did? And that Nixon just happened to be too blatant about it so he got caught?

I mean, using government power to quash dissent seems very logical for politicians to do, assuming they know how to get away with it.

 

Not at all.

 

I think every president does things that are wrong. I think very few committed wrong doing to the extent that Nixon did.

 

Unfortunately I don't find this that surprising considering what happened to Valeria Plame.

 

I think what the previous poster was speaking to was the original post. Why would a presidential candidate need to setup dirty trick squads and do burglaries when you can legally have federal agencies perform full investigations into those who dissent with your positions/policies?

In a strange way, Watergate is a testament to a political apparatus that still prosecuted corruption, even if it was taking place at the highest levels...

 

Coincidentally... just watched the movie Fair Game with Naomi Watts playing Valerie Plame. One of the few times that both the actress and the real-life person they portray are both bangingly good looking. The first scene with Plame in a screamingly tight skirt... oh my.

 

NATIONAL SECURITY, FOOLISH PEONS! IMMUNITY!

no, he might even be worse.

either way, Bush violated so many laws in his reign, that I can't help but chuckle at this one. who didn't see this coming?

 

no, no one has answered the question that he is continuing those programs on americans.

no, he just likes passing laws because it's a hobby of his. defend warrentless wiretapping here, encourage the relaxing of laws to allow easier wiretapping there, but he never intends for his administration to use it, oh no.

Anyways, rhad has an extensive topic about that---http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=166000, so I'll stop derailing.

 

yes, we're all familiar with rhad's thread.


you know its not easy to keep debating when you continuously change the topic. this isn't warrantless wiretapping, this is a law that allows the fbi to track internet usage AFTER A COURT ORDER.
