Reply #25: He said in December that it was illegal

in radio interviews with Press, Shultz, and Bendar? (AAR - Christmas day broadcast). Kerry also backed Gore last week on a Blitzer interview that Kerry did from Israel. (He's been in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Israel, Jordan and India - as part of his job on the SRFC. He has done an excellent job representing the US or would you prefer they see on;t Rice and Cheney?

This is not a contest of who can say what fastest or make the most aggressive statements. Be happy that both Gore and Kerry and several other Democrats are speaking of this. Why not support those speaking out. Even now, the RW is trying to frame this as the Democrats would trade away security and have in some comments tried to morph the question from spying without warrants to data mining. Data mining has it's problems which in the Commerce committee hearings Kerry addressed in a way that fired up Senators as to the privacy issues.

We should be backing all that speak out and working to keep the issue clear and clean cut.
