Out of My Mind

From Salon's War Room:

Cheney didn't say anything about any of that Wednesday. Instead, he defended all the things that the president and his administration began doing right after the terrorists struck. In the process, at least by implication, Cheney admitted that the administration's pre-9/11 efforts weren't good enough. Defending the post-9/11 executive order in which Bush authorized warrantless spying on American citizens, Cheney said, "If we'd been able to do this before 9/11, we might have been able to pick up on two hijackers who subsequently flew a jet into the Pentagon." The suggestion: The Bush administration was somehow powerless to listen in on the phone calls of would-be terrorists in the pre-9/11 days.

Make the connection, Dick; explain how illegal spyin' would have prevented 9/11. I know you're not just spouting more of that right wing paralogical nonsense, let alone flat out lying.
