The Domestic Spying and Wiretapping Program

Or as it’s called by Senator Leahy and Democrat leadership—project “dupe unintelligent liberals.” Good thing they alerted the media to project DUL as it will henceforth be called, so that misleading phrases such as ‘domestic spying program’ ‘domestic wiretapping program’ and ‘the great white invasion’ would effectively integrate themselves into daily discourse among the under- and misinformed.

You see, Democrat leaders have no interest in stopping the Bush counter-intelligence operations—the real nature of the activities that inspired project DUL. It became abundantly clear to me while watching the Daily Show this evening, a program that was much better under the guidance of Craig Kilborn. After following up a segment in which Jon Stewart seemed to have forgotten how repugnant he thought the Paul Wellstone memorial service was back in 2002 by lauding those who used the casket of Coretta Scott King as a soap box, Stewart delved into a segment in which Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez refused to answer questions before a Senate Judiciary Committee. Of course it was funny when Senator Leahy questioned whether or not Gonzalez would answer any question that pertained to the Bush counter-intelligence program.

Of course. That’s why the television cameras were there.

Doesn’t it strike you as somewhat inconsistent that Democrat leaders would force the entire Senate into a closed session in order to demand evaluation of intelligence data utilized in making the case for the invasion of Iraq over two years after the engagement began, and yet that same leadership wants the doors to the judiciary committee wide open when grilling the Attorney General on the topic of counter-intelligence? This inconsistency underscores the purpose of project DUL. Senator Leahy and the rest of the Democrat leaders are well aware that a midterm election approaches, and the more posturing and agitating they can do before national television audiences, the more gratified upset, underrepresented Democrats will feel.

Granted, my assessment of the situation is entirely too logical to be embraced by any major media outlet. It speaks too much to common sense and rationality. Four months after the closed door Senate session, we’re no closer to understanding the apparent flaws of the intelligence employed in making the case for war in Iraq. Similarly, four months from now, no actions to impede the Bush counter-intelligence operation will have been taken, and project DUL will have served its purpose and reform as another type.

As long as major media publications continue to champion Democrat ideals, hordes of impressionable individuals with little critical thinking skills and short attention spans will be indonctrinated into their party. In spite of having such a powerful recruitment weapon, the Democratic Party finds itself in the minority in all but the slow moving judicial branch of government. Would Senator Kennedy like to speak to such matters? Perhaps that night at Chappaquiddick? Or perhaps to a pint of Ben & Jerry’s and a fifth of scotch?

I’d say that answer is quite clear.
