"<BR/><BR/>"It is important to understand... that the rules and methodology for criminal searches are inconsistent with the collection of foreign intelligence and would unduly frustrate the president in carrying out his foreign intelligence responsibilities."<BR/><BR/>No, this is not a quote from the last few weeks from someone in the McChimpyBushHitler administration... it's a quote from former Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick, testifying before the the Senate Intelligence Committee on July 14, 1994, smack in the middle of the first Clinton administration. <BR/><BR/>Interesting, huh?SteveRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03992905362047329835noreply@blogger.com
