Abu Wabu

Here's what happens to real live troops on the battlefield when the left is allowed to interfere with sanity. From Ace:

Last May, Iraqi terrorists kidnapped three American soldiers.

American intelligence officials searched for cyber-signals about the kidnapping... and actually found them. They found the kidnappers talking to each other on-line.

However, they had to stop listening because the signals were passing through an American-based server and under the law that meant there could be no eavesdropping without a warrant.

So they stopped listening in on foreign terrorists holding kidnapped American soldiers.

For ten hours, officials worked to get "emergency authorization" to resume eavesdropping.

This then required the personal okay of AG Gonzales, who couldn't be reached for two hours.

So a 12 hour gap after the kidnappers had been discovered.

Idiots will be delighted that the system works so well to quell their fears of being spied upon by the evil George W. Bush, albeit leaving three kidnapped American soldiers to be tortured by Islamofascist savages, beheaded and lashed together, their bodies gutted and then stuffed with C6 explosives before being tossed out onto the street. All that is the result of the idiots' wishes, which paved the road to those soldiers' hellish deaths.

I wonder what good old Great Uncle Tommy who fought and died in WWII would have thought of his idiot great-nephew's willingness to let him meet that same fate at the hands of those animals, for whom the idiot great-nephew argues for full access to U.S. courts and full rights under the U.S. Constitution. But even after Uncle Tommy gets tortured, killed, beheaded, disembowelled, stuffed with C-6 and thrown out onto the road as bait, the idiots who argue for his tormentors' rights are surely not to blame. The victims of their poor judgement should have known not to obey their stupid laws under those exact circumstances. I mean, what the fuck were you thinking, you right-wing dolts?

Confronted with the bad outcomes caused by their ridiculous laws, Democrats always seem to argue, basically, that people should ignore the law when necessary. They insinuated that when the DoJ determined it did not have legal cause to examine Zaccharias Moussaui’s laptop without a warrant, for example: They should have just had the foresight to know they should ignore the law and search for 9/11 plots on that laptop.

This is not a tolerable view of the law nor how the law should function. True enough, there will be cases where any sane man will ignore the law when life hangs in the balance. But the Democrats just continue to pander to their paranoid BDS MoveOn voters with very restrictive and impractical laws, and then just parry criticisms of these laws away with vague insinuations that soldiers and CIA operatives ought to be brave enough to risk their careers in ignoring the laws they've made when "appropriate." "Appropriate" being defined as when it turns out, in the perfect clarity of hindsight, that their laws cost human lives.

This video from FOX makes that very point thanks to Democrat House Intelligence Committee Chairman Silvestre Reyes, who of course blames government functionaries for bad idiot policy that killed three young soldiers, but just in that one case. Otherwise the government functionaries are doing a helluva job.
