Do No Evil – In a recent speech at San Francisco's Commonwealth Club, Attorney General Michael Mukasey defended the Bush-Cheney administration's illegal domestic spying agenda by proclaiming that the 9/11 attacks could have been prevented if the government had been able to monitor overseas phone calls to the United States.
You have to understand that Mukasey is another of the dual-citizen israel-firsters that thinks anything that keeps killing americans in the mideast benefits zionist crimes against humanity.
Dual Citizenship -- Loyal to Whom?
Do No Evil รข;; So, you might ask, are there any other dual Israel-American citizens who hold US government positions that could compromise American security? Yes....

Michael Mukasey's tearful lies
Michael Mukasey has conclusively proven himself to be an exact replica of Alberto Gonzales -- slavishly loyal to every presidential whim and unbound by even the most minimal constraints of truth while serving those whims....
....
These are multiple falsehoods here, and independently, this whole claim makes no sense. There is also a pretty startling new revelation here about the Bush administration's pre-9/11 failure that requires a good amount of attention.
Even under the "old" FISA, no warrants are required where the targeted person is outside the U.S. (Afghanistan) and calls into the U.S. Thus, if it's really true, as Mukasey now claims, that the Bush administration knew about a Terrorist in an Afghan safe house making Terrorist-planning calls into the U.S., then they could have -- and should have -- eavesdropped on that call and didn't need a warrant to do so. So why didn't they?
Mukasey's new claim that FISA's warrant requirements prevented discovery of the 9/11 attacks and caused the deaths of 3,000 Americans is disgusting and reckless, because it's all based on the lie that FISA required a warrant for targeting the "Afghan safe house." It just didn't. Nor does the House FISA bill require individual warrants when targeting a non-U.S. person outside the U.S.
Independently, even if there had been a warrant requirement for that call -- and there unquestionably was not -- why didn't the Bush administration obtain a FISA warrant to listen in on 9/11-planning calls from this "safe house"? Independently, why didn't the administration invoke FISA's 72-hour emergency warrantless window to listen in on those calls?
If what Muskasey said this week is true -- and that's a big "if" -- his revelation about this Afghan call that the administration knew about but didn't intercept really amounts to one of the most potent indictments yet about the Bush administration's failure to detect the plot in action. Contrary to his false claims, FISA -- for multiple reasons -- did not prevent eavesdropping on that call.
Mukasey was even more dishonest in demanding amnesty for lawbreaking telecoms. ....

Get your facts straight, it is INTERNATIONAL wiretapping that is being done,any time domestic wiretaps have been done is because of the association to terrorists. What about the illegal domestic wiretaps that Clinton ordered without FISA on the Black americans? The typical Bush bashers are at it again.
