Redefining chutzpah
Weren't we told, back on the eve of the passage of the PATRIOT Act, that the Homeland Security apparatus would never, ever be used for domestic spying? Didn't they promise? Weren't all the people who voiced those concerns labeled as 'conspiracy theorists?'
Well, they lied.
One federal agency that became involved early on was the Air and Marine Interdiction and Coordination Center, based in Riverside, Calif. -- which now falls under the auspices of the Homeland Security Department.The agency received a call to locate a specific Piper turboprop aircraft. It was determined that the plane belonged to former House Speaker Pete Laney, D-Hale Center.
The location of Laney's plane proved to be a key piece of information because, Craddick said, it's how he determined that the Democrats were in Ardmore.
"We called someone, and they said they were going to track it. I have no idea how they tracked it down," Craddick said. "That's how we found them."
Air and Marine Interdiction and Coordination Center falls under the jurisdiction of, yep, Homeland Security.
When do they issue arrest warrants for the people who made that call? And when do those intrepid members of the media start reporting this? When?
Replies: somebody speaks up.
When does hell freeze over? When are Christonazis going to be tolerant of others' beliefs? When is Ari Fleischer going to be honest with the AmeriKKKan people?
