Chertoff. What A Fucking Idiot

Our heads are about to explode. These guys are so stupid they just keep repeating the same shit over and over and over. AP (08.13.06):

"The nation's chief of homeland security said Sunday that the U.S. should consider reviewing its laws to allow for more electronic surveillance and detention of possible terror suspects, citing last week's foiled plot. 'What helped the British in this case is the ability to be nimble, to be fast, to be flexible, to operate based on fast-moving information,' he said. 'We have to make sure our legal system allows us to do that. It's not like the 20th century, where you had time to get warrants.'" Chertoff Says U.S. Needs More Authority

Except that the British had no problem whatsoever obtaining warrants ("Over several months, former Home Secretary Charles Clarke and, more recently, John Reid were given detailed updates on the progress of the investigation to enable them to sign warrants for sophisticated intrusive surveillance against the terrorists."). Except that that FBI had no problem whatsoever obtaining warrants ("One official estimated that scores of secret U.S. warrants were dedicated solely to the London plot."). Small point, we suppose, to a moron like Chertoff. He may not even know what a goddamned warrant is, to be honest.
