washingtonpost.com — The FBI apparently does not believe in due process when gathering phone records in terrorism cases. The agency has a "emergency letter" template they give field agents that instructs them on how to obtain phone records without due process and with no paper trail. Read on for more fun facts...

Whine Whine Whine..... This Great nation is filled with Whiners, Talkers and Takers. Further - That is all I have been seeing on DIGG and in around this country.WAKE UP!WE ALL LET THIS HAPPEN BECAUSE WE DID NOT GET UP AND STAND UP FOR OUR RIGHTS. Its starts simple with baning smoking, then guns, then other "blue" areas of society that our politicians say "its not good for you and the children", and then the next thing you know we have the Patriot Act / rouge politicians / unaccountability and our own government is tapping our transmissions and eliminating each and everyone of our rights "For our protection" of course. Then they start banning this and that and get the people so focused on bull s**t and arguments about "He's smoking; She is having an abortion; Inteligent Design is the reason for life; No war for oil; What do you need a gun for?; and the list goes on and the sheep start following the wrong Sheppard's - all the way to the slaughter!FYI Tobacco is the backbone that help to start and sustain this country.Guns help to Protect this country and the rights within and without!You have the Right to freedom of Religion in this country!You have the right to CHOOSES in this country!Well I say - SHAME ON YOU! SHAME ON ALL OF YOU. FOR BOWING DOWN TO THE DOG AND PONY SHOW AND DOING NOTHING.SHAMESHAMESHAME

Scooter lied to congress while under oath. He destroyed his own life, which if you think he'll do a single day in jail you're seriously delusional. I see a presidential pardon in poor Scooter's future.

You apparently are desperate to attempt to debate this if you choose to berate me when you could simply increase my negative digg. I mean, be true to yourself and put your opinion there rather than a stream of uneducated drivel. My alleged non-comment should have been enough of a clue for someone like yourself who is quite possibly the most attuned individual on the planet. I offered up sarcasm which should point out exactly what my opinion is on this.I came to digg for tech info. Now, I just screw around in the political crap for fun as that is all digg is anymore.Wake me up when you "unsuckle" yourself from the anti-Bush digg nipple.

@straxusIt's called 'dissent'. It's also one of the only tools we have available to effect political change..." And the reason why it is the only tool is because YOU allowed them to take away all of the weapons available - i.e. Gun Control.What is taking place today is exactly what took place in the 1770's and why we had a revolution and why the BILL OF RIGHTS was created. This is the very reason why WE THE PEOPLE need to Bear Arms and in the process let the men and women who are "in power" know - we are not going to take this anymore. So stop crying in your Starbucks lati, get off your ass and start shooting.

I seen a great bumper sticker that said," I'm not afraid of terrorism, So please don't create a police state on my account."

It's legal to listen in in every Communist country! We want to the exact opposite of the 4th amendment because the Blue Laws of New England have been abandoned. Witchcraft, inhabiting another person's body, and "blouse houses" with clothes people confiscated from others were all against the law. Also, cloning fluid to possess others thru witchcraft was a controlled substance only available to doctors and hospitals. Brainwashing drugs were the province of Russians who wanted people to "forget" their bourgeois background and not demand payment for forced TV or political appearances.Also, in Communist countries, the official "clothes and possessions list" on file with the Moscow gov't is used to place people in jobs instead of an interview, where the person might be carrying weapons. What's next, making the "law of the collective" official, where the Commiunists detain or "hold down" a member of the familial or "societal unit and see if the crime goes down"? Accepting the Communist law mentioned in the Patriot Act might lead to other weird Communist methods, such as taking a brother or a father a hostage to a foreign work camp to "see if a mass murderer in the family stops their crime." They have an agency in Russia called the MVD where the employees used to do mass murder for the czar. This happens because "children" in the Soviet Union live with their family until age 60, and then women are allowed to have a job.. I think the Patriot Act ought to be suspended because accepting it might to lead to other Communist abuses and practices, such as I mentioned..

You should really learn to use the reply function properly. I nearly never saw your response.There's a big difference between now and 200 years ago. 200 years ago, the people had the same arms and firepower as the government. The government they were fighting to be free from was also half a world away. There were no automatic weapons, tanks, jets, helicopters, missiles, chemical/biological/nuclear weapons. If the second amendment was intended to provide us with the tools to overthrow our own government, then it failed. We the people have no hope of fighting a government armed to the teeth for modern warfare. Oh, and I can't stand coffee.
