THANX U Mary M<br><br>good for morale in this continuing infowar <p></p><i></i>

Fantastic -- that really feels like nostalgia from the 60s indeed. Interesting it was at Georgetown Univ. -- they had an incredible FM radio station called WGTB in the early 70s with bumper stickers that said "One Nation Underground." It always amazed me how many years that station was allowed to stay on the air -- Georgetown U. is a Jesuit institution, and the station was airing public service spots on abortion, plus there were lesbian and gay-themed shows as well. And, of course, the music was anything but mainstream. Ah, the good ole days..... <br> <p></p><i></i>

Here's the accompanying story: <br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>WASHINGTON - Attorney General Alberto Gonzales offered additional defenses of President Bush's domestic spying program on Tuesday, as the administration tried to redefine the warrantless surveillance in a way that undermines critics. <br> <br>Speaking to students at Georgetown University law school, Gonzales said a 15-day grace period allowing warrantless eavesdropping under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act demonstrates that Congress knew such surveillance "would be essential in wartime."<br><br>Gonzales was supplying legal arguments to the president's comments Monday that the effort should be called a "terrorist surveillance program."<br><br>Confronting Gonzales during his nearly half-hour speech were more than a dozen young people in the audience who turned their backs to him and held up for a banner for television cameras. The banner, loosely based on a Benjamin Franklin quote, read: "Those who would sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither."</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>The rest is here: <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/gonzales_nsa;_ylt=AidsteKD2k_xvZZ8FoB7Ll_mWMcF;_ylu=X3oDMTA5bGVna3NhBHNlYwNzc3JlbA--" target="top">Gonzales Seeks to Reframe NSA Surveillance </a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> --MaryK <p></p><i></i>
