Fanzz's Commentary: Unusal Amount of Chatter

Unusual Amount of Chatter - JC. Lwww.keepingitright.blogspot.com
The effort to foil a terrorist attack involving ten planes was a joint effort between the UK, Pakistan and the United States. Pakistan warned the UK about the plots and in turn the UK warned the United States. In a nutshell it sounds simple and the way things are supposed to be run.
Communication is the best key to any relationship. And any breakdown of that effort to communicate could turn costly. Lets look at our personal relationships. In order for any relationship or marriage to survive, both parties have to communicate. Both sides need to know what the other is doing or how each one feels. A breakdown in that will only show disaster and an eventual end to the relationship. Another illustration? The failure of Federal, State and Municipal Governments in the aftermath of Katrina is a prime example of a communication breakdown. The inability of our own CIA and FBI to supply enough and correct intelligence to the executive and legistlative branches may have played a role on 9/11 and we know, both tragedies in our history was costly.
Now the same can't be said about this week's foiled attacks. We obviously had enough information and intelligence to assist in thwarting the potential tragic event. Arrests and busts by both Pakistan and England were huge, but there is one aspect of the busts that the mainstream media has failed to bring up. That aspect is how the United States did it's part in the foiling. Well, this is going to anger the leftist of all leftists. NSA Wire taps. Yes the same NSA wire taps that all leftist were hollering and screaming about. "The Gov't is listening to all our phone calls!" Even Kanye West was heard saying that after the President didn't like black people, he later added that the president only likes phone calls.
So let me get this straight, the one thing that this country does to avert terrorist activity and monitor it, actually worked. An unusual amout of chatter from suspected terrorists was a key to stopping an otherwise catastrophic event? And the only way to hear this unusual amount of chatter was through wire tapping the right people who were supposed to be monitored and yet no atta boy?
I guess with all this good work, there was one victim of this thwarted attack. Joe Lieberman could have used this information at least two days before his primaries. The next victims will be in November where virtually all democrats who were whining and crying about bringing our troops home, NSA Wire taps and any other program this government is doing on it's end to fight the war on terror. Will be reversing their stance on those programs or acting as if they were supporters of it in the first place.
