Since you...First, it <B>can</B> be spelled as "al-Qaida". Since you seem to accept Wikipedia as an authoritative source (for better or worse), check out the "Notes on Naming" section of the al-Qaeda article.<BR/><BR/>Second, the Bush and Powell quotes specifically invoke September 11 and the "men who attacked", not necessarily the group al-Qaeda. Although the men were undoubtedly part of al-Qaeda, Bush and Powell may have been referring to Saddam's lack of involvement in the Sept. 11 attacks, which is different from supporting al-Qaeda in general. Thus, the Hatch quote is not directly refuted by the Bush and Powell quotes.<BR/><BR/>Lastly, who cares if Hatch was in the Senate when FISA was passed? As his quote clearly states, he believes the act is "very important" (i.e. was needed in 1978) but thinks that it doesn't reflect the current post-9/11 world. He is not saying that it was a mistake to pass FISA in the first place.<BR/><BR/>As much as I agree with the determination that Hatch is a "nutcake", using these quotes against him isn't going to weaken him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
