THE FUROR OF THE FUHRER

Here is Attorney General Alberto Gonzales testifying before the House Judiciary Committee on April 6, 2006:
Nadler: Number two, can you assure us that there is no warrantless surveillance of calls between two Americans within the United States?
Gonzales: That is not what the president has authorized.
Nadler: Can you assure us that it's not being done?
Gonzales: As I indicated in response to an earlier question, no technology is perfect.
Nadler: OK.
Gonzales: We do have minimization procedures in place...
Nadler: But you're not doing that deliberately?
Gonzales: That is correct.

Here was the headline on the front page of USA TODAY Fri/Sat/Sun 12-14, 2006:
Furor erupts over NSA's secret phone call database.
I thought how the word Furor might be substituted with the word Fuhrer.
Wouldn't the headline make just as much sense?
More sense?:
Fuhrer erupts over NSA's secret phone call database.
George W. Bush, almost cowering at an unscheduled stop in front of cameras, said yesterday [5/11/06]:
"The privacy of ordinary Americans is fiercely protected in all our activities''.
Our Long War President is now behaving more and more like an upset fuhrer.
Americans don't seem that upset...YET.
"Hey, I'm not doing anything wrong or illegal...Sure...Let the fuhrer and his agency record my phone number...
They aren't listening, so what's the harm?"
Ah...just what the Long War President and his regime like to hear.
Scare 'em...
Scare 'em some more..
And they will do what we say...
They’ll like what we do...
And accept what I DECIDE.
Well, maybe.
Maybe something traumatic will happen again.
The fuhrer and his regime will then tell us:
"See...we wanted to protect you...but the leakers and the media have been giving away our secrets...
And NOW YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH ANOTHER TRAGEDY!"
It's not the regime's fault.
It's the fault of the leakers and the fault-finding critics.
Who will you vote for now?
