Like all the other losers at CNN, Cafferty is a dumbass. The phone companies' post-911 data dump is probably still sitting at NSA waiting to be analyzed. I used to work with those pecksniffs in Ft. Meade. Their bureaucracy makes the U.S. Post Office look like a model of efficiency.

Data mining has come along way in a short time. Lists of numbers already in electronic form continually data dumped into a database. Then sorting algorithms for profiles you are interested in or even easier enter a number to search the db against then find all linking numbers to a factor off that starting number that you desire. Cross referance the produced target numbers against other databases for in depth profiles of people. You know, like your healthcare, credit, banking, or tax data.

Seems rather easy to me. Though I imagine there is so much data(and so much new data every day) that it would take quite a while to capture it "all". Welcome to the information age...

Clinton has been out of office for over five years. Your boy Bush has been in charge since then.

As some point he is going to have to take responsibility for what has happened on his watch. As much as Republicans love to talk about "personal responsibility," it shouldn't be too hard for him.

Don’t get me started on Clinton! Before that guy voting your conscience was voting Democrat and voting Republican was voting for your wallet. Since that asshole decided to screw that kid in the oval office and lie about it, the Republicans were able to recast themselves as the party of morality. I blame Clinton for destroying the Democratic party and giving those greedy Republicans the upper hand!

Bush down to 29% in new Wall Street Journal poll.

How much lower can he go? Even his personality cult is turning against him now.

Lots of truth in what "the thinker" said above.

Clinton didn't help, but the Republicans were running as the Party of God long before anyone ever heard of Monica. Have we all forgotten St. Ronald of Santa Barbara so soon?

And as lousy as Clinton was on civil liberties and privacy, he was not even in the same league as these people.

What's funny is the silence of the Republicans. When Clinton was in office, they screamed about even minor infringements on civil liberties, and rightly so, but now that their man is gutting the Constitution wholesale, well, that's just peachy keen.

Hypocrites.

Republican Governor of Kentucky indicted.

Before long it will be easier just to name the goopers who haven't been indicted.

Nobody in America can read (or CARES to read between the lines. What about GPS in your car? When it came out people loved the idea. Couldn't wait to have your car tell you where to go. Was the Thomas guide that hard to follow? Dumb-dumbs! They didn't realize it was big brother in disguise by marketing.
I've always said the computer would lead to the end of civilization. Ever add up the numbers in the word "computer"?
666. Sort of weird, yeah? And no, I'm not a "holy roller."
Our technology has surpassed us as human beings. The same thing happened to the Romans.

disregard comment re 666 - my info is wrong, sorry.

a loathsome man. he and his whole family. how can so much badness be concentrated in so small a group of people?

How many are aware that the phone companies cut a deal for the information? They want the internet friends so they can cash in on that and this is just the administration to give it to them.

How stupid it is too agree with Big Brother when the guy you like is in office. He will be gone in two years and more than likely someone you don't like will take his place. Will you feel the same?

I don't trust any of them. I want them out of my bedroom and my phone and my internet.

Wise up people and smell the control.

Here is the deal on ATT, Verizon and Bellsouth:

Damn straight -- Bush hasn't tear-gassed women and children and then run a tank over them while we watched them burn to death, live, on CNN.

Bush hasn't sent the FBI to a remote mountain cabin so one of their snipers could shoot a woman holding a baby.

Bush hasn't sent hooded storm troppers into a private home in the middle of the night to kidnap a six year old boy and return him to El Jefe in Cuba.

You are right, Bush is not even in the same league.

Autofx, are you really THAT stupid? What happened in Iraq is called "war". It is usually a brutal and ugly activity, but IIRC, 98% of our Congress voted to authorize the use of military force there.

Congress never gave a wink or a nod when Bubba's henchmen killed those kids at Waco, or blew Vicki Weaver's brains out while she held her baby in that cabin at Ruby Ridge. And I doubt any Congressmen voted to allow that federal marshal to plant his rifle butt in the face of a cameraman who dared try and chronicle their midnight kidnapping of Elian Gonzalez. Janet Reno must be so proud of people like you who find ways to excuse true attacks on civil liberties.

Bubba this Bush that who cares? The American people don’t care about liberty. It’s over folks, time to cash in your chips. The socialist and religious Americans are the majority. The whole ship is sinking anyway. Where can liberty find a new home? I’ll be there.
