John Culberson Loves Ben Franklin. Foreigners, Not So Much.

U.S. Congressman John Culberson, 7th District of Texas, sent out a note this afternoon reporting that the “Democrat led Congress has finally passed a responsible Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, (FISA), that President Bush can sign.”

His note also included this snappy statement: “I am not worried about the rights of foreigners in foreign countries who talk about killing Americans through acts of terror.”

Oh my. Can you spell Abu Ghraib?

He also stated: “I believe in Benjamin Franklin’s admonition that someone who would trade a little liberty for a little safety will wind up with neither, so I am always ready to respond if our agencies abuse the rights of Americans, but I have not seen any definitive case of that yet.” — Olivia Flores Alvarez

Culberson says he's not worried about (privacy) rights of foreigners "who talk about killing Americans through acts of terror.” Should we give known terrorists a little more privacy to plan the next 9/11? At the same time, he clearly demonstrates himself as a true advocate for civil liberties (for Americans and all those in the civilized world who respect liberty). Criminals who live and act like animals outside of the civilized world, cannot expect the same civil liberties as those who live in a civilized society. Anyone who follows Culberson knows that he is a passionate advocate for keeping the government out of our private lives; but to enjoy a free society, we nonethless must have a secure nation.
