Here's my favorite, from the official White House press release:

3. MYTH: If any new surveillance needs to begin, the FISA court can approve a request within minutes.  In the case of an emergency, surveillance can begin immediately and FISA approval can be obtained later.

My comment:  This so-called "myth" actually (1) lies about empirical evidence and (2) tracks the language of the existing FISA statute.  
The empirical evidence:  one of the judges on the FISA court approved a warrant request from (IIRC) the FBI while he was stuck in traffic around the Pentagon on the morning of 9/11.  IIRC, he got a call on his cell, heard the application orally, granted it, and told them to follow up with the paperwork.  From his car.
As to the language of the statute:  The existing (since 1978) statute explicitly provides a three-day period (72 hours) within which the government can intercept and monitor and during which the paperwork can be prepared to get the necessary warrant retroactively.

FACT: Reverting to the outdated FISA statute risks our national security.  FISA's outdated provisions created dangerous intelligence gaps, which is why Congress passed the Protect America Act in the first place.

My comment:  Another outright lie.  Congress passed the so-called PAA last August after Bush and his co-conspirators buffaloed the Congress into believing the Capitol was the target of terrorists who wanted to blow it up while they were to be off on their August vacations.  A non-existent plot, BTW.  

FACT: FISA applications are lengthy, detailed documents that typically require many hours of preparation.  Once the application is submitted to the FISA Court, there is no guarantee that it will be approved.

My comment:  Another outright lie.  In all the history of the FISA court, something less than 10 of thousands of applications were denied.  And, IIRC, the ones denied were denied, because the FBI CI agent making the application ... lied in his affidavit (and was barred by the Court from making another one to the Court).  
Anyway:  there are no guarantees in life, George.  Even for someone so insulated from being responsible as you.

FACT: Reinserting the FISA Court into our efforts to conduct surveillance of foreign terrorists overseas makes no sense.

My comment:  Damn courts, always getting in the way of Bushie being a dictator, demanding "Facts" other than Bushie being the decider, not being reliable rubber-stamps.
And, if you were monitoring only "furriners overseas", why were your machines in places like Room 641A copying the whole of internet traffic.  Every last bit?

About 2003, there was an election coming up in Germany and it looked like it would be very close.  The then-sitting justice minister, a member of Chancellor Schroeder's governing SPD party, was reported to have told a meeting of local party functionaries (i.e., she was talking to their base) that "Bush is using Hitler-methods" to build support for the Iraq War he wanted.  There was a huge outcry in diplo circles over the alleged comment, which ultimately led to the minister being sacked, but not before the comment (the making of which was never admitted to formally) helped keep Schroeder and the SPD in charge of the government for a couple years more.

Growing up in America of the late 60s and early 70s, I had the advantage of schoolteachers who'd lived as (young) adults in the thirties and forties - veterans of WWII or the Home Front and, perhaps more importantly, of the buildup to the war and the revelations that came afterward.  

They remembered Hitler's repeated lies - about his ambitions, objectives, methods and policies - having heard them in their press pre-war.  

They remembered what the war and aftermath revealed as the truth.  

They were actually pretty assiduous about making clear the lesson of The Big Lie.  

One of the lessons I picked up was that of The Big Lie.  

For those who never got the lesson, or were daydreaming when it was taught - get it now:  Politicians (and others) tell The Big Lie when they want to do something they know they never could get away with, were they to tell the truth.  Tell a big enough whopper with enough conviction, force and repetition, and you might just get away with creating a new reality - where your lie is accepted as truth.

Here it is, reprinted above in this comment.  The President of the United States, telling The Big Lie (again), this time to insulate himself and his co-conspirators against their criminal and civil liability for having broken the law.

The former German Justice Minister was right.  She was right then, right repeatedly since then, and right now.  And that press release proves it.

Learn from the past: whenever this sort of thing was done, it was phony fearmongering. The way you can tell there is an actual threat is that you'll know about it before Bush does, unless the Democrats have really stood up to him (fat chance), in which case he may send The Terrorists a personal invitation, with live coverage on television of him licking the envelope and putting a stamp on it.

1. It's been widely reported that Hezbollah has announced a more open conflict on Israel in particular, and the West in general

2. Why do you think we need warrants to surveil foreign nationals?

I would estimate .0000000000000000001%

How many would have criticized Bush/FBI et al if these warnings had not gone out?

NEWPORT, ORE. -- -- Peering into the murky depths, Jane Lubchenco searched for sea life, but all she saw were signs of death.

Video images scanned from the seafloor revealed a boneyard of crab skeletons, dead fish and other marine life smothered under a white mat of bacteria. At times, the camera's unblinking eye revealed nothing at all -- a barren undersea desert in waters renowned for their bounty of Dungeness crabs and fat rockfish.

"We couldn't believe our eyes," Lubchenco said, recalling her initial impression of the carnage brought about by oxygen-starved waters. "It was so overwhelming and depressing. It appeared that everything that couldn't swim or scuttle away had died."

Upon further study, Lubchenco and other marine ecologists at Oregon State University concluded that that the undersea plague appears to be a symptom of global warming. In a study released today in the journal Science, the researchers note how these low-oxygen waters have expanded north into Washington and crept south as far as the California state line. And, they appear to be as regular as the tides, a lethal cycle that has repeated itself every summer and fall since 2002.

"We seem to have crossed a tipping point," Lubchenco said. "Low-oxygen zones off the Northwest coast appear to be the new normal."

Although scientists continue to amass data and tease out the details, all signs in the search for a cause point to stronger winds associated with a warming planet.

If this theory holds up, it means that global warming and the build-up of heat-trapping gases are bringing about oceanic changes beyond those previously documented: a rise in sea level, more acidic ocean water and the bleaching of coral reefs.

something I have a hard time getting my tiny brain around given how much snow and below zero days we have had here in the Midwest.

Which means, perhaps, that there isn't a rise in sea level, the ocean water isn't getting more acidic, and the corals reefs are doing just fine.

Also, the same rhetorical point can be said about the KLA as your mentioning of Hezbollah, even more so unless one believes that Hezbollah has a connection to OBL:

The Kosovo Liberation Army or KLA (Albanian: Ushtria Çlirimtare e Kosovës or UÇK) was an ethnic Albanian organization which sought independence for the province of Kosovo from Yugoslavia and Serbia in the late 1990s. BBC Balkans Correspondent Paul Wood on Tuesday 20 March 2001 wrote that "the Kosovo Liberation Army became the most successful guerrilla movement of modern times"[1]. According to crime journalist Jeffrey Robinson, the KLA is "a direct link between Osama bin Laden and the Albanians".[2]

Its campaign against Serbian security forces precipitated a major Yugoslav military crackdown which led to the Kosovo War of 1998-1999. The CIA, USA, the UN[3] and the Yugoslav authorities considered it to be a terrorist organization[4].The Serbian government reported that the KLA had killed more than 10,000 civilians, both Serbs and Albanians[5][6]

Although the KLA did carry out atrocities against civilians in Kosovo during the conflict, the Yugosav security forces and Serb militias carried out atrocities against civilians which prompted an exodus of Kosovar Albanian considered ethnic cleansing by human rights organisations[1] and NATO governments. The atrocities, coupled with what were seen as failures by Western Europe to prevent worse atrocities during the conflict in Bosnia, prompted the first-ever NATO war against a sovereign country (if the bombing of Serb militias in Bosnia is excluded), and the biggest military action in Europe since the Second World War.
