Bush is a dirty spy...Part 5

Peter at Pete the Elder has offered a counter-argument to my counter-argument about spying. Its really fun to have a good back-and-forth with a smart conservative, especially when you know its all good-spirited. That being said, I think neither of us will budge from our position seeing that we are both stubborn. In the end, however, I think Peter refuses to give in because he is still bitter from our days in high school. He was one of the inventors of Pol Pot Ball and I totally kicked his ass when we played.

Peter asks for an alternate plan to warrantless wiretapping. I offered the alternate plan of warranted wiretapping. However, do we really need an alternate plan when the FBI has regularly stated that no information that they got from warrantless wiretapping has actually helped them?

Sorry to break your heart, but Pol Pot Ball was created during breaktime at church youth group meetings. I don't remember the rules very well, but it was played in a hallway and the only real danger was scraping the hell out of your knuckles on the wall.
