Feinstein is a bad liar

2013-06-10 02:51:44.181878+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

NY Times: President Obama's dragnet:

The defense of this practice offered by Senator Dianne Feinstein of California, who as chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee is supposed to be preventing this sort of overreaching, was absurd. She said on Thursday that the authorities need this information in case someone might become a terrorist in the future. Senator Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, the vice chairman of the committee, said the surveillance has “proved meritorious, because we have gathered significant information on bad guys and only on bad guys over the years.”

People, get your stories straight: Are we going after potential future terrorists, or only bad guys?

Yeesh. What a bunch of bad liars.
