"Never ascribe to subterfuge that which can be ascribed to incompetence." Works for me. Try cutting and pasting this:

Its outlined in the law. You should not believe those who say that this law places an undue burden: its completely secret, the government can look first and ask permission days after the fact. What more could you want, except to just be able to listen to anything you want for no reason at all? Are you sure you want this power invested in an executive who believes that the second amendment is 'advisory' and to "protect Americans" starts confiscating guns?
On torture: the folks who want to torture have never even served in action. John McCain spent years being tortured. He knows how useless it is. As alluded to above, even on 24, the value of torture is questionable. The weak will say anything you want, the strong will never talk. What's the point when all you get is blood on your hands? WWJD?
Would you prefer battery acid in the eyes or testicle shocks?
