My Way News - Judge Nixes Warrantless Surveillance

My Way News - Judge Nixes Warrantless Surveillance: "The American Civil Liberties Union filed the lawsuit on behalf of journalists, scholars and lawyers who say the program has made it difficult for them to do their jobs. They believe many of their overseas contacts are likely targets of the program, which involves wiretapping conversations between people in the U.S. and people in other countries." Yes, we must never make their (journalists, scholars and lawyers) jobs difficult. Even if it means allowing terrorists to plan freely how to murder us.

My Way News - Bush Vetoes Stem Cell Bill As Promised

My Way News - Bush Vetoes Stem Cell Bill As Promised: "Although many in the religious right are passionately opposed to embryonic stem cell research, most Americans support it, and Bush risks alienating that majority in the critical midterm year."

Bush heard swearing about Syria - Europe - MSNBC.com

Bush heard swearing about Syria - Europe - MSNBC.com Yet another example of blatant media bias. Who cares about this private conversation between leaders? It should have only made the press if Bush said something in contradiction to his public remarks, which he didn't. Clinton has had many private conversations inadvertantly broadcast. You don't recall any because the press never bothered with them. One I'll never forget involved Clinton cussing out a gardener for putting flowers or something in the wrong spot.

My Way News - Agency Recovers From Computer Break-Ins

My Way News - Agency Recovers From Computer Break-Ins I believe that there's a real possibility that the US will be at war this year with North Korea. It's also a fear that we could be at war with Iran and even more fearful is China. These computer break-ins are a clear sign that someone is preparing to attack us soon. The most likely suspect is North Korea, but I think also China is involved. China wants Taiwan back and I believe this is the last year they will wait, peacefully. They may not intend on attacking the US directly, but they know if the US is in a hot war with North Korea and possibly Iran, then we cannot protect Taiwan fully.

My Way News - Bush Begins Talks With European Leaders

My Way News - Bush Begins Talks With European Leaders: "Still, anti-Bush sentiment was prevalent. About 1,200 students chanting 'Bush Go Home!' rallied at a train station to protest his visit to the capital, where 1,000 police officers were assigned solely to deal with demonstrators. Another 2,000 officers patrolled the city. Leading the students was U.S. 'peace mom' Cindy Sheehan, who lost her son in Iraq and energized the anti-war movement last summer with a protest outside Bush's Texas ranch. Demonstrators waved black flags, blew whistles, beat drums and shouted, 'Hey, ho, Bush has got to go!' Others carried banners and signs that said 'World's No. 1 Terrorist' and 'Islam is not the enemy.'" So Cindy has given up on protesting here and has moved overseas. Good.

My Way News - School District to Monitor Student Blogs

My Way News - School District to Monitor Student Blogs: "LIBERTYVILLE, Ill. (AP) - High school students are going to be held accountable for what they post on blogs and on social-networking Web sites such as MySpace.com. The board of Community High School District 128 voted unanimously on Monday to require that all students participating in extracurricular activities sign a pledge agreeing that evidence of 'illegal or inappropriate' behavior posted on the Internet could be grounds for disciplinary action. The rule will take effect at the start of the next school year, officials said. District officials won't regularly search students' sites, but will monitor them if they get a worrisome tip from another student, a parent or a community member. Mary Greenberg of Lake Bluff, who has a son at Libertyville High School, argued the district is overstepping its bounds. 'I don't think they need to police what students are doing online,' she said. 'That's my job.' Associate Superintendent Prentiss Lea rebuffed that criticism. 'The concept that searching a blog site is an invasion of privacy is almost an oxymoron,' he said. 'It is called the World Wide Web.'" This guy I would call a poly-moron. This is pure harrassment and intimidation leading to real censorship. This one needs to go to court. I don't have a problem with people searching students' blogs, but as an official from the government, well this is what the first amendment is for.

House Votes to Keep Offshore Drilling Ban - Yahoo! News

House Votes to Keep Offshore Drilling Ban - Yahoo! News: "Lawmakers from Florida and California, who led the fight to continue the drilling moratorium, said they feared energy projects as close as three miles from shore could jeopardize multibillion-dollar tourism industries in their states." Whenever congress passes a bill in the cover of night, you know they are up to no good. My question is "What difference does it make if our coastline remains pristine if no one can afford to go there and visit?"

My Way News - Papers: Cheney Aide Says Bush OK'd Leak

My Way News - Papers: Cheney Aide Says Bush OK'd Leak: "WASHINGTON (AP) - Vice President Dick Cheney's former top aide told prosecutors President Bush authorized the leak of sensitive intelligence information about Iraq, according to court papers filed by prosecutors in the CIA leak case." The "drive-by" media (nickname credit: Rush Limbaugh) will go spastic over this. But I smell another rope-a-dope from Bush. It's assumed that the approved info. leak was about Plame, but that may not be the case. If it is the case, will Bush just pardon Libby? The DBM would just self-combust if that happens.
