It's looking more and more like the Bush Administration has its sights set on destroying the Constitution and taking away your First Amendment Rights.
Can't these guys just govern within the rules for once?
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday blasted U.S. media for exposing details of highly secretive intelligence programs and asked the Bush administration for a formal damage assessment.
"Numerous, recent unauthorized disclosures of sensitive intelligence programs have directly threatened important efforts in the war against terrorism," Roberts, a staunch White House ally, said in a letter to Negroponte.
"Whether the president's Terrorist Surveillance Program or the Department of Treasury's effort to track terrorist financing, we have been unable to persuade the media to act responsibly."
A better response would have been, "Oops, you caught us again!" Time and time again, this administration gets caught with its hand in the cookie jar, and instead of eating crow, they decide to attack those who catch them committing the crime.
They give us another lurid example of irresponsible governance and total disregard for the law. The more things change, the more the stay the same in this Bush Administration.
