Your Liberal Media: Part 2

Glenn Greenwald takes apart Joe Klein on the FISA Amendment:

. . . [M]anifestly, Klein also has no idea what he is talking about when he claims the administration is engaged in "data mining." The excuse that the administration's violations of FISA were necessitated by "data mining" programs has even been expressly rejected by both Gen. Hayden . . . and Mike McConnell . . . If Klein really does know what the NSA is doing -- rather than throwing around the phrase "data mining" because it seems complicated and smart -- then he ought to write about it, since that would be a major scoop.

Of course he does not know what he is talking about Glenn, but, as he was in February 2006, he is SURE he knows more about it than you:

People like me who favor this program don't yet know enough about it [Bush Domestic Surveillance program] yet," he says, "Those opposed to it know even less- and certainly less than I do." -Joe Klein

Come on Glenn, you got to keep up . . .

    Yeah, but "some say" (none / 0) (#1)

    that granting the NSA and telcos these rights is essential to fighting the devilish evildoers who want to destroy our way of life and keeping us safe and free, or else we're all going to die in a horrible megaterrorattack that will make us wish that we'd let them listen to us talking to aunt Hilda in Sheboygan. I mean, if we didn't do anything wrong, what do we have to hide?

    Or, as "some say", freedom ain't free!

    And no one knows what "some say" better than Mr. Klein.
