This graph from Bush's address
Edited on Sat Dec-17-05 06:53 PM by LuckyTheDog
This graph from Bush's creepy and bizarre radio address today REALLY worries me. It sounds like a warning to the news media -- and a thinly veiled threat aimed at the New York Times. Is he saying here that they'll be going after the media now?

"This is a highly classified program that is crucial to our national security. Its purpose is to detect and prevent terrorist attacks against the United States, our friends and allies. Yesterday the existence of this secret program was revealed in media reports, after being improperly provided to news organizations. As a result, our enemies have learned information they should not have, and the unauthorized disclosure of this effort damages our national security and puts our citizens at risk. Revealing classified information is illegal, alerts our enemies, and endangers our country."

:wtf:

2. Sounds like a threat to me
:mad: Specificially the NYTimes since they broke the story. They should've done this when they found out. I'm glad they finally told though.

3. Hypocrisy alert!


Plame vs. NSA spying

As a result, our enemies have learned information they should not have, and the unauthorized disclosure of this effort damages our national security and puts our citizens at risk. Revealing classified information is illegal, alerts our enemies, and endangers our country."

5. sounds like the same paranoid statements fidel castro fed his people
all thoughout the sixties telling them that the IMPERIALISTAS YANKEES were gonna come get'em and send them to hell.

same bullshit.

same paranoia.

same intent at manipulation of the people.

same preamble to totalitarianism.

He also had a freudian slip during that part of the speech... i think that during the part where he was saying, "Its purpose is to detect and prevent terrorist attacks against the United States, our friends and allies. ", his slip of the tongue almost had him saying,"Its purpose is to detect and protect but he caught himself mid word and said "prevent" ... i wonder if anyone else noticed that.
