If the data mining operation is just a bit of harmless fun then the Bush administration should have no problem allowing those of us who don't want our phone records turned over (sold?) to the self-appointed morals police to opt out of their little program. Call it the no-spy list.

I don't understand why they wouldn't get a pen register for this info. Did they? I haven't actually been following this story. Pen registers are super easy to get.

Um, oh, politics? Well, I don't so much mind when civilians curse. But, since I, too, generally think of it as a lack of vocabulary skillz and a bit rude ... I deplore public figures (*cough*Cheney*cough*) who deploy vulgar speech in public situations.

Blame it on Scaeagles- works for me!;):D

No shyt!
