I don't do Dick

So, Cheney had a fight with the NSA in which he wanted to record domestic phone conversations and emails. Hmmm...

Look, is that harrassment? I mean, not grounds for a senate investigation (motto: "Steroids in baseball? News to us."), but a real civil case of being harrassed by Dick Cheney? And if so, can I get a restraining order against Dick Cheney? Can we all? I mean, if the guy can't be within 200' of anyone he attempted to survey then wouldn't he kind of be forced to move to another country?

The same goes for General Stalin...er...what's his name...Hayden, right? Except, I guess who cares if that guy gets out of the country so long as his name becomes synonamous with treason. Oh, wait, no...he's just going before the senate. They'll probably just tell him that if he's ever head of the NSA again, that he shouldn't spy on Americans, and then some democrat senator will ask, "didn't you know it was wrong," and he'll say, "I was only following orders," a.k.a. the Nuremberg defense.

But there's good news. Evidentally, the NSA lawyers told Cheney that what he wanted to do was illegal. Good, NSA lawyers. I guess there is some fucking honor left in Washington! Also, Avian flu is pretty much been wiped out in Asia! One distraction down, how many more to go?
