Ugh. No need to be so condescending. Thanks for deigning to respond though.

There's nothing obvious about it. Why do you think your ambivalence about the FISA process is germane to the discussion we should be having? You should be aware that it'll trigger an off-topic response and derail the discussion as you see it has done.

The person was only (in a bit of a soap opera-ish way I will acknowledge) suggesting that you maybe should give reevaluating your position a try. Is that so unconscionable?

I intend no hostility towards you. I appreciate your energy and your knowledge and insights. Now getting back to the issue at hand, dang them pesky spooks!
