Well, I'm not most democrats (actually, I've always been an independent, but no matter). I knew there was a wall. In fact anyone with the ability to read and an interest in history could tell you that intelligence services (CIA) were specifically supposed to be kept seperate from domestic law enforcement (FBI). You may or may not remember it, but there was a dude named Mccarthyand then later there was this little thing called Watergate many years back that got some people interested in making sure the government wasn't spying on american citizens. You see, people back in the bad old days found out that files were being kept on people daring to exercise their constitutional rights of dissent and that wiretaps were being put in place without warrants and that the government (shockingly) was sometimes using its powers for political retribution. Now I know that that would never happen under a modern Republican administration. And I do apologize for being so overly concerned about the disappearece of my rights. I'm just a worry wart. I know that the terrorists hate us because of our freedoms and I want to actually keep around some of those freedoms so they can keep on hating us, ok? So in your world the FBI should not be allowed to tell the CIA > anything about al Qaeda cells in the US? > In my world, the FBI can arrest members of al qaeda cells in the US (that whole law enforcement thing) and if they produce information about activities outside the US, the CIA can go track them down to the ends of the earth. In fact, that's how it used to work. But you know that because you're a smart guy right? > > > > As for her part in Freddie Mac/Fanny Mae and that debacle, yeah, that's a > > fucked up situation and string her up for it.

What part of "string her up for it" did you not understand? I'm agreeing with you, she should be smacked around for her part in a stupid debacle. So should a whole lot of people that ought to have known better but got unconscionably greedy. All I said is that she left that organization 5 years ago and its just failing now. I dont' agree with what she did then, but a whole bunch of other people are to blame for the last 5 years and from my vantage point, the last 5 years of fuck ups have put the previous years fuck ups to shame.
