CONGRESS MUST STAY...

NEWS BRIEF: "Bush: Congress must stay put until surveillance bill approved", The Dallas Morning News, August 3, 2007

"WASHINGTON - President Bush said Friday that Congress must stay in session until it approves legislation modernizing a U.S. law governing eavesdropping on foreigners ... 'We've worked hard and in good faith with the Democrats to find a solution, but we are not going to put our national security at risk. Time is short'."


Remember with whom you are dealing! Under the President's leadership, "enemy combatants" have been imprisoned with no charges against them for an indefinite period of time, they have been tortured, and some of them were finally released when the Government could not prove any charges!


Furthermore, Attorney General Gonzales was the White House legal counsel during the first administration and it was he who advised the President that he need not follow either domestic or international law while pursuing his infamous "War On Terror"!


Now, President Bush is demanding that Congress give him even more authority to do whatever he wants to do in the field of Domestic Intelligence! Now, Gonzales is due to receive even more authority to gather intelligence domestically!


But, under the guise of protecting our liberties, freedoms, and Constitutional government, President Bush is systematically doing away with all three! Doubt it not! Cutting Edge has been warning about this ever since Congress showered the White House with dozens of dictatorial laws immediately after the attacks of 9/11.


"Time is short", the President intones. He is right -- the time Americans have left to enjoy our freedoms dwindles every single day. The only question is "when will the next terror attack occur"? When that day comes, either the President, the FEMA Director, or the Homeland Security Director will command that all functions of government shut down, while the "enemies of peace are quelled".
