    “I don’t have the time right now, but if members want to know I’ll tell you how we could have been saved from 9/11 if we didn’t have to have the additional warrants.” Pelosi said.

      Totally unhinged, further manufacturing consent for blatantly disregarding constitutional right to privacy.

      The truth is W Bush had reviewed reports a month ahead of time indicating the 9/11 plot, and chose to ignore it thinking it was too outlandish. Oops. Still, the pre-patriot act, pre-fisa systems we had in place were sufficient. This is just classic overreach by a nanny state insistent on bolstering its spy apparatus.
