Why Are Republicans Coddling Terrorists With Wiretaps?
I don't understand that Boehmer's argument that we need to be able to conduct warrantless wiretaps of terrorists, and his arguments that Democracts are weak for opposing such a bill.

Shouldn't we be arresting terrorists rather than placing wiretaps on them? Am I missing something?

1. Why do you hate yourself for your freedoms?

And they are passing up a great opportunity to torture an arab.

Good point

2. Exactly! Why listen when you can rip out fingernails?
Is ripping fingernails on the list? I wouldn't want to advocate anything illegal.

3. Oh wait, do you mean to say that . . .
the terrorists that the Republicans are referring to have not been tried and convicted in a court of law?

Note: My original post was intended to be somewhat sarcastic, but I need to work on making it more evident on print.
