Thanks, indeed. No additional attacks in the US since 911. It's
important to remember that this is US partisan politics at its worst.
It has nothing to do with privacy or the Constitution and everything
to do with weakening the office of the President as a sort of revenge
for what the Dems perceive as wrongs that the Repubs did to Clinton,
and of course to hopefully grab some Congressional and Gubernatorial
seats in the upcoming elections.
