Our Congress isn't worth the powder to blow it up

goddam it... goddam it to hell... the fcc is an executive branch entity, so of COURSE they won't investigate telecom collusion with the nsa, another executive branch entity, both of which are under the control of the executive office of the president... congress continues to swat at flies when it's clear the bigger problem is a criminal presidential administration riding roughshod over separation of powers, the constitution, civil liberties, the rule of law and anything else that dares to get in its way, and that forever requesting information only to be stonewalled ain't going to miraculously go away...

The head of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission declined to investigate reports that phone companies turned over customer records to the National Security Agency, citing national security concerns, according to documents released on Friday.

FCC Chairman Kevin Martin turned down a congressional request for an investigation as a top intelligence official concluded it would "pose an unnecessary risk of damage to the national security," according to a letter National Intelligence Director Michael McConnell sent to Martin on Tuesday.

Intelligence officials "support your determination not to initiate an investigation," McConnell wrote to Martin.

At issue are reports last year that some big telephone companies allowed the U.S. government access to millions of telephone records for an anti-terrorism program.

i've decided that congress is either full of fools or is deliberately colluding with the white house in the destruction of our country...
