Bank Data Is Sifted by U.S. in Secret to Block Terror http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/23/wa...html?th&emc=th By ERIC LICHTBLAU and JAMES RISEN Published: June 23, 2006 WASHINGTON, June 22 — Under a secret Bush administration program initiated weeks after the Sept. 11 attacks, counterterrorism officials have gained access to financial records from a vast international database and examined banking transactions involving thousands of Americans and others in the United States, according to government and industry officials Why don't our special forces just start jack-stepping now? Also, what is to stop those doing this from practicing insider trading? No one would know and there would be no way to track it. Last edited by rkzenrage; 06-23-2006 at 02:34 PM. |

There is nothing remotely mild to my dislike or off-hand to my comparison. The similarities are exact.

Look...simply claiming "it's true" doesn't exempt you from Godwin's Law. Everybody who violates Godwin's Law is willing to swear on a stack of ${book} that they're "just being accurate". Besides, it's either "goose-stepping" or "jack-booted".

I say let him go with a warning this time, and a two beer penalty (his cooler) for conjoining jackboot/goosestep with an expired poetic license.

 However, stating that Bruce is giving someone a free pass just because he agrees with them is also a 'red herring'. You are assigning an unproven motive in an attempt to shift debate away from the merit of the original argument.
