FISA: A needle in the haystack (Fine)

The Republicans build haystacks. I have concluded FISA is a needle in the haystack due to the fact everytime I feel I understand what is going on, panting and sweating with little Black feet eager and ready to run’n tell it, something else comes up.

The only comprehensive understanding I had regarding FISA was in an article on Truthout.Com. The article was thorough, completely comprehensible and appropriately laid the foundations for mastering the situation. I provided a link in a previous blog but, unfortunately, I can not find it now. But I shall go on.

I do not know if Sen. Obama can see the needle in the haystack and I now know there are amendments to FISA, a recent court hearing that ended yesterday with possibilities of being re-opened and who knows what else. I would hope if one were the astute politician as Sen. Obama is, you would be able to see said needle and either maneuver your way towards or against or around it, whichever goals you have set for yourself. If your focus, however, is to dislodge that needle from the haystack, I would assume you would have a plan and in the case of Sen. Obama and his advisers, a plan that can not be readily shared with others. I am mindful the composition of haystacks can shift for seismic reasons.

“Politics is a game” they say and to date, Sen. Obama and his advisors have played it brilliantly and there is no reason for me to continue believing otherwise. I know absolutely nothing about the amendments. I haven’t seen them, don’t know how many there are have not read anyone exploring them. I only read one vague, and I mean very vague account of the court proceedings in reference to FISA.

I am looking at that FISA haystack bottom up, top down and from side to side and there is no way I can understand what is going on inside and since it is a political haystack, that is why we put our trusts in our political appointees. That’s it! Feet, don’t fail me now!
Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-Span and the spirits of the unborn for the help,
