Ann Nails it -- Again

I look forward to Thursdays the way married guys anticipate monthly sex. Because Thursday is when Ann Coulter's latest column comes out. This week, she tells us why, if the Democrats were in power, we'd all be as good as dead.
It seems the Bush administration — being a group of sane, informed adults — has been secretly tapping Arab terrorists without warrants. During the CIA raids in Afghanistan in early 2002 that captured Abu Zubaydah and his associates, the government seized computers, cell phones and personal phone books. Soon after the raids, the National Security Agency began trying to listen to calls placed to the phone numbers found in al-Qaida Rolodexes. That was true even if you were "an American citizen" making the call from U.S. territory — like convicted al-Qaida associate Iyman Faris who, after being arrested, confessed to plotting to bring down the Brooklyn Bridge. If you think the government should not be spying on people like Faris, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
P.S. I didn't have to post that picture. I just did it.

I like that picture, too.

The lines I liked best in that article are:

Whatever softening adjectives the Times wants to put in front of the words "ties to Osama bin Laden," we're still left with those words — "ties to Osama bin Laden." The government better be watching that person.

(Then again, if they had any brains, they'd be Republicans.)
