BARBARA BOXER - DELAY ALITO AND GO AFTER BUSH

This has become a ridiculous abuse of the Senate when despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary that Democrats such as Californians Barbara Boxer are demanding hearings into the President's admission that the NSA was wire tapping suspected Al Qaeda operatives after September 11. The surveillance was a result of the capture of Al Qaeda's number three man and the finding of more than 300 phone numbers that he personally contacted within the United States both prior to 9/11 and after. This constitutes a national security threat and as such gives the President authority to pursue the operatives to protect the nation. All of the wire taps were legal under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 and certain provisions in the Patriot Act. Yet despite this and several references of the Clinton administration and several other Presidents including Carter and Reagan using FISA for electronic surveillance, Boxer is demanding impeachment investigations against the President. This political grand standing by the Democrats who KNOW that Bush's actions were legal and for the protection of the nation is a blatant attempt to destroy this Presidency at the expense of the people's business and national security. This out right attack has hindered our ability to gather information without the knowledge of the enemy since the left is so willing to openly detail such programs in their all to willing accomplices in the left wing press, namely the New York Times who has ignored everything about this story except what the President has done. This amounts to censorship of the truth and aid and comfort to the enemy, which is only what the left has succeeded in accomplishing throughout this war.
