Dallas told me he has repeatedly tried to get various networks to tell him who their analysts are with no reply. I do not know how they decide
who goes on the lists - you can ask Dallas, but I suspect it is those who regularly appear on the tube/radio/print covering Dod and the GWOT.
I do not know who has been invited tomorrow, but am informed one of those calling for Rumsfeld's resignation has been invited - no clue who
- I am also told this is SECDEF's 16th such session. I nave probably been at 12 and SECDEF has attended all but one. The format has been: a
one-hour background session with a Dod briefer (sometimes civilian, sometimes mil) on the latest hot topic, non-attribution, then the SECDEF
comes in with Gen. Myers-for a quick sandwich lunch and Q&A, staying between 30 minutes and 2 hours (SECDEF stays average 45 min-I
hr.).
tn addition there are conference calls with an 800 number- now average once/week-week and a half - background non-attribution 20-min-30
min brief + Q&A on hot topics. Normally lasts I hour.
Early during the war we had weekly meetings with SECDEF, then bi-weekly, monthly, has petered out as war goes on to every few months.
Average attendancehas been 20, low 15, high 35. Most attendees have former military experience.
The atmosphere in the sessions has always been respectful, but there are some tough questions - I would compare it to the Pentagon Press
conferences in tenor.

The Department of Defense outreach program to retired military anal ysts is on-going and includes analysts
retired from all four service s and the reserves.
Since 2002, and the beginning of the global war on terrorism (vice Operation Desert Storm when such briefings
were also conducted) there have been more than 80 conference calls (at least one per month, sometimes as often
as weekly). In addition, the analysts are often invited to a day of briefings at the Pentagon by senior DoD
officials, including the Secretary. There have been approximately 16 such briefings in the past 4 years.
The last time the Secretary had the retired military analysts in the building for a meeting was at the end of
September. (The last time the Secretary had the civilian defense experts in the building for a meeting was in
February.) There were two conference calls in January for retired military analysts, one in February, one in
March and two so far in April.
Topics covered range from the work up to the war to operations in the global war on terror, including Iraq and
Afghanistan, to BRAC, Operations at the Guantanamo Detention Facility, Veterans Healthcare and the DoD
budget.
Additionally, the analysts have participated in four DoD-coordinated trips to Iraq and three DoD-coordinated
trips to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, since the beginning of the global war on terror.

to body armor, and who will take the action to make sure he gets back out to kuwait and processed back through visa control (it

Hi there Col. I think you and I are the last two folks in the building ton ight! I just wanted to check in to see if

tuesday. 1m only ask ingso I can lock the seeders calander.
If not, no worries. Hope you have a great easter!

Subject: RE: are you reachable?
Yes I was a bit nervous about sending out that last email to the analysts with the general officer numbers as the
directive carne from a ehat I had with adm stavridis and dr bucci. They amt really in the "pa chain of
command" and before I released numbers no one in press ops had I wanted some top cover (even thoughbucci
said it was good to go). I was able to reach eric and had him give me approval over the phone.
Funny thing is I sent it to michele davis and brian mccormack as well and she emailed back "gosh I have been
asking for this nwnber all day!"
Why in the world we didn't release this number (and still havnt) is a mystery to me.
Anyhow,babbin was just on, he was great, and mcinemy was on earlier and he was incredible.
Vallely is going to use the numbers in their wsj op/ed.
We now have 10 confirmed for next week with seedef.

Sir, id leave it to your insights, though I think general McInerney just hit it out of the park. I would offer this
thought though, the nyt's 6, don 't really seem to be that representative to me when you consider:
Total Current Active Duty General Officer Force : 881 Total Current Active Duty, Reserve and Guard General
Officer Force: 1499 Total Current Active Duty, Reserve, Guard plus Living Retired General Officers: 8,000+
It just seems like the media is loving the fact they could find anybody to complain. Well , I think that 6, or
roughly one tenth of one percent of the GO universe of 8,000 is just not representative.
Have a great easter sir!

The exact time of the briefings is still being worked out and will be forwarded Monday morning, however, we

Monday and Tuesday were filled about 60 min after the Boss killed the trip. That being said , we have some options. I
recommed we pre-emptively pass the PC on Tuesday (we still don 't have a subject) . This would free up a 90 min block on

Monday and Tuesday were filled about 60 min after the Boss killed the trip. That being said, we have
some options. I recommed we pre-emptively pass the PC on Tuesday (we still don't have a subject).
This would free up a 90 min block on Tuesday afternoon (2:30-4:00). This gives you time 0 gather a
good group, do your other briefs I activities, and wrap up with the Boss. Guidance?

Subject: Brigitte in Memphis
Sent and reported by my friend Brigitte. This is happening all over America on campuses
and areas that are served by Muslim Mosques
Dear Paul,
Muslims Muzzling Memphis
Muslims Muzzling Memphis
By Brigitte Gabriel
Universities, for those of us who lecture on campuses, are the battleground for the heart
and soul of the next generation of leaders. It is the battleground where we must fight to
win back the opinion and allegiance of American college students. This is made harder when
Islamists in both the college and local communities try to intimidate us and deny our free
speech on campuses in some of the least likely places.
We have grown to expect these things on the major East and West Coast cities "elite"
university campuses that harbor radical professors and anarchist student and radical·
Muslim community activities. But not in the heartland where I spoke last week at the
University of Memphis. What was shocking was that it occurred in the South, in
"Bubbalcnd" as my friends from the region call it.
Re: Brigitte in Memphis Page 3 of?
I was invited to give a lecture sponsored by Professor David Patterson of the Judaic
Studies Program. When news about my appearance spread, the Muslim community both on
and off campus launched a full-scale campaign to stop my lecture. They demanded that Dr.
Patterson cancel my speech. E-mails flooded the University of Memphis administration and
Dr. Patterson from Muslim students on campus and Muslims in the community and mosques.
Here are some of their comments:
"People like Brigitte are plenty in the world , they are the true enemies of Islam. And
despite their rubb ish talks, the truth about Islam is spreading like a wildfire across
Americas and across the globe (All Praise to Allah)."
.. Dr. Patterson , host ing of this lady is orders of magnitude worse than hosting of the
Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan!'
"Do you honestly think the scheduled lecture will serve any useful purpose other than
inf laming the Muslims, insulting them and spilling poison in t he community?"
It is int er esti ng to see the reaction of the Muslim community to someone with Moslem
shrapnel in her body who speaks against butchering innocent people in the name of Allah. If
they would put the same energy into condemning the radical element within Islam and join
us in saying that slaughter ing people in the name of Allah is murder not J ihad, maybe we
wouldn 't question t heir loyalty as Amer ican citizens. Dr. Patterson refused to bow to the ir
int imidation and insist ed on going on with the scheduled speech.
By the time I showed up at the amphitheater style lecture hall on campus, police officers
were already standing at each entrance. Nearly half of the hall was filled with Muslims with
their leaders dressed Osama Bin Laden style sitting in the front two rows at eye level
making "t heir point," that I wasn 't going to get away with speaking f reely.
1l/14/2007
Re: Brigitte in Memphis Page 4 of7
Just as the program was about to begin, a Muslim student walked to the front and asked
the crowd to raise their hands if they believed that this lecture was "undemccrctic." They
complained that I would be taking questions on cards instead of allowing them to ask them
publicly. Experienced in these settings. I knew they would make speeches, spew ant i
American and Israeli sentiments and create chaos in the room during the Q&A. I decided
that they were not going to do that. The provocative Muslim student behavior before I
even began my lecture proved my foresight. Dr. Patterson explained that taking questions
from cards distributed to the audience was normal protocol at university speaking events
like mine.
Patterson tried to calm the unruly crowd but noth ing was working.
Fed up, r went straight to the podium and ordered everyone to sit. I told them, this is my
lecture and I run the show. If they didn't like the way I conducted my lecture and my
questions they could leave the room, now. Shocked at my behavior and authority they shut-
up. The non-Muslim members of the audience applauded.
I finished , asked Professor Patterson to make introductory remarks and returned to my

seat.
Dr . Patterson introduced me by telling the audience what an eye opener this lecture had
become because of the reaction. He stated that he never real ized that here in Memphis a
speaker should be threatened for his/her safety just to speak on a college campus. He
introduced me and I delivered my speech with police officers on both sides as well as about
eight others in the lecture hall and around the building .
Unknown to me, a Muslim student attending the University of Memphis was arrested weeks
prior to my lecture for, among other things, possession of DVD 's on pilot training and
charts on the layout of the Memphis airport. They found links on his computer to sites
associated with a rad ical Sunni Muslim organization in Iraq, and searches for information on
how guns and bombs can be smuggled past airport security. After witnessing t he Muslim
11/1412007
Re: Brigitte in Memphis Page 50f7
reaction to my lecture and what happened few weeks ago at the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill when an Iranian Muslim student drove into, for Allah 's sake, innocent
students gathering on university grounds, the Memphis police was not going to take any
chances.
It is a sad state of affairs when any speaker on any Amer ican University campus has to be
surrounded by police officers to protect their freedom of speech and person from
intimidation and menace. America is the country where free speech is protected under our
constitution. Who would have expected that in the home of t he Beale Street Blues , w.e.
Handy and Elvis, I would be confronted by Muslims trying to muzzle my free speech and
perhaps all of us?
At the end of the lecture the Muslims immediately in front swarmed over me questioning
and intimidating. Police officers quickly moved in and pulled me out straight to the police
cars as the enraged Muslims started shouting .
Based on what happened to me in Memphis, I think it's time for Americans to wake up as to
what is occurring within their very midst. It is time to be energized and empowered to
stand up and fight to take back our universities. Its incident s like this that spurs speakers
like me to defend our civilization and everything it stands for.

this asap... and if general dempsey is prepared to at least touch on it so that he's not put on the spot!
here is the agenda and rsvp's that i have as of this moment. will update you if i get in touch with any more analyst who will
be able to join.

is this not something you could send to me electronically?? the easiest and most effective way i communicate
with them is via email. they are very aware and respectful of whatever prohibitions we place on information we
release to them-e-so if we release it to them early, they can familiarize themselves with the info and then be
ready to launch as soon as it's released. make sense? let me know if this is possible. .
might be the easiest for all.

the product to you and how many copies you would need for this

It was good talking with you last week. When our Iraqi Perspective Project report is issued on/about 24
March we would like to provide a copy to the former DoD officials which are on your "former"
list and act as media consultants. Below is an EXSUM of the product that JFCOM will be releasing.

General ,
I think there may be some confusion with our request for you to do a conference call on Monday. We submitted a full week long
roll out plan for next week to the white house that included your doing the conference call about an hour prior to the president's
speech to provide context for the analysts to be able to do tv right after potus. we would embago until the speech. we are waiting
for the white house to approve, however I wanted to have you on board before they say go.
hope that helps to clear things up.

SUMMARY
Commentary by military analysts briefed on the NSA domestic surveillance issue was
light. Jed Babbin wrote a piece for American Spectator and was also featured on World
Net Daily. In somewhat related coverage, his appearance on the Jon Batchelor radio show
was discussed in the National Journal 's Hotline and on Hugh Hewitt's radio show
website, in which he alleged that Sen. Rockefeller was the NSA surveillance leak. In TV ,
CIA analyst Wayne Simmons argued on Fox News that the President needs a quicker
way to surveil potential terrorist threats and that the hearings may be leaking sensitive
intelligence to the enemy.
JED BABBIN
Getting With the NSA Program

(The American Spectator Online) .. . By Jed Babbin - February 6
Today's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the NSA terrorist surveillance operation
will utterly fail to address the two most important facts about it. Neither Attorney General
Gonzales nor the senators questioning him will distinguish between a wartime
intelligence gathering operation, which this is, and a broadly scoped peacetime law
enforcement investigation, which this is not. And though it will shape the soundbites on
which tonight's newscasts will ride, the tension ~- no, the enmity -- that governs the
administration's dealings with Congressional Dems will be displayed but not explained.
Last week, DNC Chairman Howard Dean said , "President Bush's secret program to spy
on the American people reminds Americans of the abuse of power during the dark days
of President Nixon..." It is only the most fevered liberal brows and the willfully ignorant-
- in both of which categories Dr. Dean consistently fits who can make such an
n
irrational and irresponsible comparison. As Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat

Roberts (R-Kan) wrote to Dean on Friday, "Any suggestion that a program designed to
track the movement, locations, plans or intentions of our enemy -- particularly those that
have infiltrated our borders -- is equivalent to abusive domestic surveillance of the past is
ludicrous. When Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. John son approved the
electronic surveillance of Martin Luther King, those Presidents were targeting American
citizens based on activities protected by the First Amendment. When President Richard
Nixon used warrantless wiretaps, they were not directed at enemies that had attacked the
United States and killed thousands of Americans." Unlike the Deanocrats, Roberts
understands the differences between illegal searches that violate the Fourth Amendment
and wartime intelligence gathering.

Public Affairs Research and Analysis
•••2'"
The NSA program is not intended to detect and punish past crimes. It is an intelligence
program, designed -- like every such signals intelligence program has been since a
telegrapher rode with Confederate General lE.B. Stuart's cavalry to give Stuart the
benefit of intelligence gleaned by tapping into Union lines -- to discover the enemy's
plans. NSA isn't wiretapping massive numbers of Americans' private conversations. It is
listening in only to conversations in which at least one party -- and many times both -- are
outside the United States and have been identified as connected somehow to al-Qaeda,
Senior Justice Department officials told me on Friday that the program is carefully
limited to that, and excludes all else. What NSA is doing, under presidential order, is
gathering intelligence by listening to al-Qaeda communications between and among its
commanders and operators overseas as well as those people in the United States who talk
to them.
The program, according to these officials, works by detecting where the calls originate (at
least by country) even where, as in too many instances, a cell phone is used from abroad
that has a U.S. area code and number. Many of the intercepted conversations only pass
through American fiber-optic lines and switchboard exchanges and have no one in the
territorial U.S. participating at all.
The NSA operation is not a violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
because the president, as the courts have held, has the power to order warrantless
surveillance of this type -. outside ofFISA -- to gather intelligence. FISA is used,
according to the Justice Department officials, whenever both sides to a conversation are
in the United States.
FISA is an act of Congress. Because the president's authority to order this surveillance is
granted by the Constitution, an act of Congress cannot limit it. FISA, moreover is
unsuitable to combat terrorists because its requirement to demonstrate probable cause
cannot often be met. The NSA program is not directed at gathering evidence admissible
in a court of law. It's directed at capturing, killing, or disrupting terrorists. As Attorney
General Gonzales will testify today, "Congress and the American people are interested in
two fundamental questions: is this program necessary and is it lawful? The answer to
both questions is yes." FISA is a peacetime tool. We are at war.
WHEN ANY HIGH-LEVEL TERRORlST is captured or killed, it is not unusual for his
cell phone (or phones) and computer to be seized. On them is usually found both
telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. To our armed forces, that is tactical
intelligence, in actionable form, If your cell phone was on Khalid Sheik Mohammed's
speed dial, and you are in a place such as Afghanistan or Iraq, the good news is that you
have by now been visited in the dark of night by some guys with painted faces who have
killed you if they had to or grabbed you if they could and whisked you off to someplace
such as Guantanamo Bay, Cuba for interrogation and confinement. The bad news, for you
and us, is that if they couldn't get to you , you have almost certainly reached the age of 16,
as in F-16. And your intelligence is lost with you.
OSD 2
But the mere fact that your telephone number or e-mail address is found on a terrorist's
electronic accessories, by itself, would not const itute probable cause justifying a FISA
warrant to tap your phone or read your e-mail. It may suffice if other evidence is known
that connects you to terrorist operations. But the time it takes to assemble the evidence
and seek a FISA warrant can be days or weeks. By the time the FISA court acts, the
opportunity to gather the intelligence is probably gone . There had to be another option.
The NSA program is it. The NSA is, according to the Justice Department officials,
gathering a lot of useful, valuable intelligence. If the president hadn't ordered it to do so,
he wouldn't have been complying with his oath of office to protect and defend the
Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Some critics, including some conservative pundits such as George Will , have condemned
the president for failing to seek congressional action to expand or change FISA to allow it
to be used more broadly. In 2004, the Bush administration considered asking for just such
action . The reason it did not is a fact congressional leaders of both parties ignore at their
peril , and ours.
As the Attorney General will testify today , and as he has already said in response to
questions by Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Penn.), consideration
of legislative action on FISA was put aside because "members of Congress advised the
Administration that more specific legislation could not be enacted without likely
compromising the terrorist surveillance program by disclosing program details and
operational limitations and capabilities to our enemies."
LOOSE CANO S HAS SAID, over and over again, that Congress is the source of leaks
of many if not most of the top-secret information about the war on terror that has reached
the press . The leak of the CIA terrorist detention centers in Europe and Asia probably
came from the CIA. But the list of congressional leaks is long. Too long.
In December 2004, Loose Canons reported that Sens. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) -- vice-
chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee - along with Sens. Dick Durbin (D-IlL)
and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) were under criminal investigation for leaking a top-secret
satellite program. Every indication is that the SA program leak -- which CIA Director
Goss said last week significantly damaged national security -- also came from the Hill.
Leak after leak, as Loose Canons predicted more than a year ago, has reached a level that
the executive branch cannot trust Congress to keep those secrets. And without that trust,
Congress cannot be permitted to gel the information that allows it to perform its
constitutional oversight role. This is not, as Howard Dean insists, a rogue executive, out
of control and violating the law. This is, as I will say again and again, a danger to our
form of government that can only be met by the expulsion from Congress, and
subsequent prosecution, of those members and staff who are responsible.
Today's hearing will feature the high-strung posturing of Democrats who have yet to say
anything constructive about winning this war. The Dems will pound on Gonzales for
refusing to discuss more classified details of the NSA program. There will be
OSD 3
misstatements, accusations, and hour after hour of dire predic tions of the fall of the
Republic if George Bush's imperial presidency isn't reined in. Republicans will try to ask
supportive questions, and only confuse things further. The AG will do his lawyerly best,
but because he can 't say much about the program, which remains highly classified, his
answers will seem flat and desultory.
The Dems will earn their places on CBS, CNN and the rest tonight and in the New York
Times tomorrow, which is their only goal. It would be far better for these senators and
their Republican counterparts to clean their own house , and get on with their jobs. It's
their war too, even if many don't seem to think so.

Big mouths in Congress inhibit secret-sharing

(World etDaily)... Jon Dougherty - February 8
As the Senate Intelligence Committee continues its probe into a controversial National
Security Agency eavesdropping program, a former Pentagon official says the Bush
administration has found it increasingly difficult to share top-secret information with
Congress out of fear it will be leaked to the press.
Jed Babbin , a one-time deputy undersecretary of defen se in the administration of George

H. W. Bush, told WorldNetDaily fear of congressional leaks are what prevented the
current White House from pursuing legislation specifically authorizi ng an NSA
electronic -monitoring program ordered by President Bush in the wake of the 9-1 1 attacks.
Details of that highly classified program were leaked to The New York Times more than
a year before the paper eventually reported them in December. Since then, the
administration has weathered a firestorm of protest over what Democrats and some
Republicans say is a violation ofD.S. law prohibiting such monitoring without a warrant
from a special, secret court.
The Bush administration has argued the president was given broad authority to fight the
war on terror when Congress authorized him to "use all necessary and appropriate force"
against "those nations , organizations, or persons he determines" responsible for the Sept.
11 , 2001, attacks.
"The use of signals intelligence - intercepting enemy communications - is a fundamental

incident of waging war," Attorney General Alberto Gonzal es wrote in the Wall Street
Journal on Monday, in defense of the program.
Some lawmakers and policy analysts have discounted that interpretation.
Still, in order to placate opposing members of Congress, the White House had considered
amending the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 - the legislation opponents
say Bush violated - to cover the current NSA operation. But, says Babbin, that idea was
OSD 4
abandoned because it would requ ire the administration to divulge more details about the
program - details administration officials believed could again be leaked to the press.
Federal intelligence officials have publicly expressed similar concerns about leaks. Porter
Goss , director of the Central Intelligence Agency, told a Senate committee earlier this
month unauthorized leaks of CIA operations have caused "severe damage," adding that
journalists who report them should be subject to questioning by a grand jury.
Regarding recent and past disclosures, Goss - a former chairman of the House
Intelligence Committee - said "the damage has been very severe to our capabilities to
carry out our mission."
''It is my aim and it is my hope that we will witness a grand jury investigation with
reporters present being asked to reveal who is leaking this information," he told members
of the Senate intelligence panel. "I believe the safety of this nation and the people of this
country deserves nothing less. " .
Babbin suggested past and present unauthorized disclosures of classified information may
even be connected to the Senate intelligence panel's No .2 man: Sen. John Rockefeller,
D-W.Va.
Babbin told WorldNetDaily that Rockefeller - along with Sens. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and
Ron Wyden D-Ore. - "is the subject of a criminal referral as a result of a leak of a very
highl y classified, top-secret satellite program" - a probe he believes is ongoing that was
launched by the Justice Department the first week of December 2004 .
"The formal request for a leaks investigation would target people who described sensitive
details about a new generation of spy satellites to the Washington Post, which published a
Page 1 story about the espionage program Saturday [Dec. 11,2004]," the Associated
Press reported on the probe at the time. The Post reported the National Reconnaissance
Office, which operates U.S . spy satellites, made the request.
And , Babbin said, while there's no "hard evidence" to indicate Rockefeller was involved
in leaking the NSA program details to the Times, he adds that sources within the
intelligence community have indicated their suspicions to him, though he declined to
identify them.
Rockefeller's office did not respond to repeated phone calls and e-mail requests for
comment. The Justice Department also did not respond to a request to confirm or deny
details regarding the criminal referral.
"I do ... think it is very revealing when you have the attorney general of the United States
answering written questions to [Pennsylvania Republican Sen.] Arlen Specter the week
before the hearings, and says one of the reasons [the administration] did not go to the Hill
and ask for legi slation to modify the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is that they
OSD 5
00029'
feared any further disclosure to Congress would be leaked," Babbin told WND . "1 think
then Congress has a very big problem there because they are unable to do their
constitutional oversight function of the executive branch. It
Added Babbin: "If you can't tell the Hill what you're doing, you 've got a constitutional
problem."
For his part, Rockefeller - one of a very few members of Congress briefed on the NSA
spy program - said in a Dec. 19, 2005, statement that, when he first learned of the
surveillance program on July 13, 2003 , he immediately expressed "serious concerns
about the nature of the program as well as Congress' inability to provide oversight" to the
White House.
"The record needs to be set clear that the administration never afforded members briefed
on the program an opportunity to either approve or disapprove the NSA program, It he
said. "The limited members who were told of the program were prohibited by the
adm inistration from sharing any inform ation about it with our colleagues, includ ing other
members of the intelligence committees. It
Rockefeller maintains he voic ed concerns about the program to Vice President Dick
Cheney, specifically "that the limited information provided to Congress was so overly
restricted that it prevented members of Congress from conducting meaningful oversight
of the legal and operational aspects of the program."
Said Rockefeller: "These concerns were never addressed, and I wa s prohibited from
sharing my views with m y coll eagues."
As to the overall legality of the NSA program, experts say Bush was operating within
constitutional and statutory parameters.
"Gathering signal intelligence has been an important constitutional power exercised by

the president since President Washington first intercepted signal intelligence from the
British," says former Bush White House special adviser Ron Christie, author of "Black in
the White House: Life Inside George W. Bush's West Wing. I
"President Lincoln intercepted telegraph cables during the Ci vil War, and President
Wilson ordered all cable communication from America and Europe to be intercepted, he It
said. "In the war again st terrorism, President Bush is law fully carrying out his duties as
commander in chief to institute a narrow intercept of foreign intelligence information
against terrorists abroad or within the United States who see k to harm us ."
Retired federal Judge Charles Pickering told WorldNetDaily focus on the NSA operation
is not only too political, it is keyed into the wrong issues.
OSD 6
Public Affairs Research and Analys is
"I haven't heard anyone seriously question the fact that the president has the
constitutional auth ority" to order the SA surveillance program, said Pickering, author of
"Supreme Chaos: The Politics of Judicial Confirmation & the Culture War."
"The only argument I'm hearing is whether or not the president complied with
congressional statutes. So it's really a tug-of-war between the executi ve and legislative
branch as to who gets to call the shots," he said.
"I don't want Big Brother snooping in on my telephone calls, " said the former federal
judge, "but I sure do want Big Brother to protect me from terrorists. "
"The irony here is that for four years Congress has known this is going on, and not one
peep until the New York Times ran an article," said Pickering. "Unfortunately, everything
- confirmation ofj udges, the conduct of the war on terror - has become so politicized , it's
hard for the American people to get a straight answer."
As to leaks, Babbin - writing Monday in the American Spectator, said he has repeatedly
stated "that Congress is the source of leaks of many if not most of the top-secret
information about the war on terror that has reached the press. The leak of the CIA
terrorist detention centers in Europe and Asia probably came from the CIA. But the list of
congressional leaks is long . Too long.
"Every indication is that the NSA program leak .. . also came from the Hill," he
continued. "Leak after leak .. . has reached a level that the executive branch cannot trust
Congress to keep those secrets."

Fox News -- Your World With Neil Cavuto

02107/0605 :00:49
NEIL CA VUTO: From Washington former CIA operative Wayne Simmons and P.l
Crowley the National Director of Homeland Defense at the Center for American
Progress. Wayne, you first, what do you think of the hearings?
WAYNE SIMMONS: I think they are a waste of times. Taxpayers have better things to
spend their time on such as those of Mr. Crowley's position (those on the left). The
democrats know that everything that the president is doing is legal. He knows that the
members of congress who need to be informed are being informed and that the president
has absolute authority to conduct such foreign intelligence surveillance. So, it's a waste of
time .
NEIL: P.l, do you think that just the idea of everything being second-guessed on the
security front is damaging or no?
P.J. Crowley: rthink that the exercise democracy how can we call that damaging to
national security? What we saw today is precisely why the United States is going to win
the war on terror because we are showing the terrorists this is how you function in a rule
oflaw. We have co-equal branches of government unless Wayne wants to change the
constitution and today congress was doing its job. r would point out this is not a partisan
hearing at all. I think it was a sobering analysis by some very concerned senators on the
rigbt, left, democrats, and republicans. You know, for example Lindsey Graham
republican uf Sou th Carolina said it best I thought he said in a time of war you need
checks and balances more than ever. This is what we saw today.
ElL: Wayne?
WAYNE: Neil, we already have the president has been given authorization for the use of
military force granted by congress after 9/11 . He already has that power to protect the
nation . What concerns me is that this is nothing more than a fishing expedition on the
part of the left to force the right into these hearings when they don't need these hearings.
Because trust me when I tell you as we all know there are those on the left who are
involved in these hearings and then miraculously they are letting out bits and pieces of
Intel. That is what concerns me. We don't need these hearings. Let the president do his
job and continue to make us safer.
NEIL: P.l. ?
P.J.: Again, I don 't know maybe Wayne and I just saw different hearings. Orin Hatch
said there are different constitutional issues at stake here and even Alberto Gonzalez
himself said thi s is very complex. It's important for to us understand I agree fully that the
N.S.A. should be doing what they are doing. We should be listening to al Qaeda but
where we are clearly adapting the way that we operate as an intelligence community we
have to make sure that we have a legal foundation for it. Ifwe want to change the laws
that allow the N .S.A. to do more, even today in thi s hearing, you know, some senators
said, hey, if you are listening to al Qaeda calls where one end is in the United States and
the other end is not, what about listening to calls where al Qaeda (both end s) are in the
