NYT to Al-Qaeda: Banking Alert!

Good news: The people who are doing everything they can to keep us safe from people who want to kill us all haven't been cowed by the ACLU or the Dem Cong. The Pentagon is using some obscure legal authority to spy on suspected enemy bank accounts and financial activity. Bad news: the New York Times, al-Qaeda's favorite headsup news outlet, has made sure any terrorist who might be banking in the United States knows this. All the news that's fit for enemy planning purposes.

This is important: Anyone who feels their civil rights are being violated should immediately contact the families of 9/11 victims, and see if they give a damn.

I love the way the press portrays the case of one or even a few hundred individuals into a wholesale phenomenon. They must learn the technique in J-school. Isn't that what got Janet Cooke in trouble?

And SusanG at Daily Kos being so outraged by "'thousands' of national security letters regarding hundreds of Americans." HUNDREDS! Oh, Noooo! The Constitution is in peril!

Here's a little legal advice: Nothing in the Constitution says you have a right not to be investigated. We're like children who don't like being looked at.
