A leader needs to kept abreast of what his staff and military are doing. plausible deniability don't make the grade these days. He's pushing for "PERMANENT" use of the Patriot Act.

This could be a beginning of a socialistic society by giving the government too much power and or control. Allowing them to spy on you and me. Bush and his buddies seem to be trying to use a "control by fear" method of controlling us to have a free wielding sword to do as they please...that's why.

If you want to spread untruths about the Patriot Act, feel free to start another thread. You obviously know next to nothing about it, and I doubt that you've even bothered to try to read the actual published legislation.

As for President Bush knowing everything that his "staff and military are doing": You're funny.

Unhappy Re: Beheading Video

Then what the hell is he doing in office? You mean to tell me, if you were running a multi-billion institution, you wouldn't want to know what was going on!?! How can you feel ok with having a president who doesn't have a clue to what he's in charge of? that would be like me turning my car off at the top of a hill, letting go of the steering wheel and hoping for the best.

BTW, http://www.epic.org/privacy/terrorism/hr3162.html talks about the patriot act. But be warned!, the government has wrongly accused some already of being threats to the US. If you disagree with the Gov you too might be a target of a hush-hush psyop.

this act seems by all appearances, to be a free do whatever you want card in the name of national security. Do you think your government is honest? I like to think of myself as level-headed to some degree, but to get back on topic, Kodak NY has studied the film footage of the Nick Berg beheading & the ? Abu Garaib prison scandal and the same camera shot both films due to computer analyses that determined digital signatures of both films were identical. Also, why did the US military Deny having Berg in custody when the State Department said we did have him in custody? one of them is lying. I lean toward the consular official that gave the Berg family the memorandum stating we DID in fact have Nick Berg in custody. So I do NOT believe the lies.

Question Re: Beheading Video

What!?! you honestly think the GOV would allow for Kodak to divulge the truth publicly? Everything you or I have to go on are press releases, sorry to hurt your feelings. but unless you or I have a TOP SECRET_SECRET Clearance, you and I can only say what we know by what we've read. I'm not this old by being stupid to know that governments and a "new world order" control what you or I really see. So if you're fishing for facts, you'll only be upset by the fact that maybe this is true, maybe not. why do I say this?

(truth)The Nick Berg beheading thing came out during the abu garaib prison scandal.

(truth)The Consular from Iraq sent a letter/memo stating that Nick was in fact in US Military Custody. whereas the military said it did not. While these two stories conflict it does raise the question; which one is lying and which is telling the truth.

The government has lied in the past, but since you're in the UK, I imagine a UK citizen so I won't lay into you for that. But to think my government isn't crafty is silly. the 2000 election is proof of what lengths a person will go to get what they want.

so in short then .... NO

dont spin me yarn about new world order and all that , not to hurt your feelings but i dont much care for a conspiracy, and reading about kodaks adventure in technoland from a conspiracy theory site is not my idea of any kind of proof.

if the deal like this is sooo far down its to the bottom sectors of kodac there is nothing the governemnt could do, someone would hae blown the whistle, until they do its all a bunch of stories around a camp fire.

I'm finding it difficult to even take your post seriously. Do you really expect President Bush to know what Lance Corporal Shmuckatelli is doing in Iraq? Do you think that Lt. Numbnuts is briefing him daily? Do you think that CIA Special Agent Spooksie is keeping our president abreast of every interrogation that he conducts overseas? You must be delusional!

I couldn't get that Epic site to even open. I will tell you that I'm very familiar with the Patriot Act. I probably have read more about that law than you even have access to... I'll say this: The Patriot Act does nothing to take away liberties from law abiding citizens. Judges are still needed to sign warrants. For the most part, the Patriot Act lets federal agents use the tools that were restricted for fighting organized crime and lets us use it against terrorists. Before the Patriot Act we couldn't do that.

I'd like to know exactly what concerns you have with the Patriot Act. I'm a fairly devout libertarian, so you're not going to hear me tout the party line. But I think the Patriot Act is an invaluable tool for our government to use to fight terrorism...

I love how you throw "law abiding citizens" in there, as if the government knows who among us are innocent before it spies on us. Having a judge sign a warrant is only meaningful if the judge has the authority to reject the warrant, and that's not the case under section 215 of the Patriot Act. As long as the Justice Department says it needs the warrant to protect us against terrorism, the judge must approve the application. Maybe you don't consider being secure against unreasonable searches a liberty, but our founding fathers did.

i have said on many occaisions wjhat i think of it, and i dont deserve a reply that baisically says im badgering you to stop discussiong it thanks.

i ask for the official statement and i got new world order, im not interested in whether or not niel armstron walked on the moon who shot kenedy, whether princess diana is dead, they all have pretty believeable stories and then pretty beleivable conspiracy's i am concerned with evidence and if someone says kodac says i am not interested.

if kodac says well then my ears will perk up.

well actually the patriot act will change one thng with regards to ileagally spying on its citizens... it willl make all the evidence they already have admissable.. the goveernment is alreadyspying on terrorists, it has admitted it many tmes with mobile phone conversations. they are not admissable evidence, but they are already doing it. and how do you think the FBI is cathing the sick o perverts well hackjing their computer nothing to do with that person asked for pics... they hack the computer.


i dont aghree with spying like that at all, and fpr what, september 11 was caused by like 6 guys, in the millions of people and traffic the FBI think they will find those 6guys...
not bloody likely the odds are already against them

Go in, hit hard and hit fast. Eliminate the muslim cleric in Fallujah and pick each successor off.. Take no prisoners, you get caught after shooting at us? Bullet in the head. War is a bitch, make no mistake. like my sig states, reflects my feelings.

I get mad and sad when we lose troops or civilians, But I have to remember this is war. Lives get lost.
Forgive me for saying this, but you've swung pretty widely from one extreme to the other without waiting for facts. Now Bush is behind the video and his head should roll based on some crackpot website's claim?

Simmer down!
