If you back up a few decades following the church committees revelations in 1970s there was a series of laws and policies put in place that establish a kind of golden rule. Intelligence agencies could not collect information on americans from within the United States without some individualized factbased suspicion of wrongdoing. Now the purpose and the effect of this rule was to constrain the abuses that had come before it. In the past 14 years a cardinal principle has been utterly jettisoned from the law. So lets talk about the three legal authorities that we know of under which mass surveillance is currently occurring. The first is section 215 of the patriot act.

Why was the lusitania allowed to enter the sea without escort . Without the kind of detailed warning that could have been provided but was not . This has led to some interesting speculation if the ship was set up for attack by churchill or someone . It is interesting. I found no smoking memo. Believe me, i would have found a smoking memo if it existed. Lets let the lusitania go into the sea because we want to get something. Nothing like that exists. Sunday night on cspans q a.

Just recently, a hospital in miami, and some outpatient centers, eight of them, are bearing my familys name. That is truly a legacy built in love.

Dad worked in a different city and or country every week. Travel was a very necessary part of his life, yet dad mentioned managed to be at my brothers football games, my sisters volleyball games, and my youngest brothers basketball games. They were fully committed. Mom was usually working the clocks and the scoreboards. Dad would be wearing a headset and helping to call the plays. Dad made family his priority. A quality he learned from his parents. It is a quality they have passed on to us. It continues today. Be there,
