I support NSA Spyng, we should do more!!
We want to do everything we possibly can to aid the enemy. It is amazing. The next 9-11 is going to be on the Democrats hands. Between killing the patriot act, this scam, the torture thing, saying we are losing in Iraq....
Pathetic that people will say or do anything and put our Country in peril just to slam Bush.

I do have to give Bush credit with the fact there hasn't been another 9-11. I'm from NYC, I see the subways, the tunnels, etc. - they really aren't that secure so my guess is they get a lot of them at the border, etc. Or maybe enough time hasn't elapsed.
Simply put, the Patriot Act could be a good thing, but I don't trust the conservative Republicans in office to use it the right way...
You can't allow torture because if we do, the next time we go to war and Americans are captured... guess what - it opens the door for them to be tortured. Don't think short term. This is why the world say the US is taking a step backwards, we want people to allow torture?
I would support NSA spying, but it's like anything else. It's all about how it is used and if it is used properly. The way things in politics work, a lot of Americans including myself don't trust those in power not to abuse it. Everything in life is about personal gain and rational self-interest. Everyone is also human, especially George W and those around him.
