Thanks Simon. I remember a while ago, as libertarian disgust with the neoconservatives was getting serious, there was talk in the blogs about libertarians dumping the Republicans and trying a new, "liberaltarian" coalition with the Left. Looks like it might actually be happening. Good information. Thanks Simon.

Only this week, an American Soldier, was shot in the back, as he was boarding a military plane.The enemy spy network, had succeeded in hideing an enemy combatent in that group. And so a great American died. Every person who has access to secret information, makes it easier for the enemy to gain secrete information.The result is that Americans will die.The result is that double Agents who are simpathic to our cause will die, GAURDIAN It is very hard for young people, who have no expeariance, with a war that threatens your very existence, such as WW2, To understand the need for secrecy.

As to whether the conference calls are top secret, two of the three interview subjects were pretty open about them. Matt Stoller, from Open Left, met my questions about the calls with "What's the point of this question?" but then lightened up when he seemed to conclude I wasn't asking for nefarious reasons.

I would like to publicize this in my podcast, if possible, unless it's all secret stuff. As for the public being entirely unaware of this -- you are right. And not even the pro-Obama people are all aware of this. I'm in a group that is completely oblivious to FISA and what this means, but they are for whatever Obama wants to do with it. I had to explain.... . It's really amazing. Is there any way to listen in on the next conference call or get a copy of the one that has already taken place?
