(Just what we need more powers given to the government. s/o Of course this would mean more of OUR freedoms being taken away. 0bama and his regime must be drooling all over themselves at hearing this.)

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Monday called for Congress to examine the laws governing the FBI’s ability to track Muslim extremist activity within the United States to give the agency more investigative teeth.

“We need to revisit our laws,” said Graham in an interview Monday.

Graham said he spoke with the FBI recently about its 2011 probe of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, and is assured that agents did not fail to pick up on key signs that he was a potential terror threat.


Tsarnaev, 26, who was killed in a police shootout Friday, is suspected of planning the Boston Marathon bombing with his younger brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who is in police custody.

But the lawmaker warned that the FBI may need more powers to probe suspected individuals and called on Congress to see whether laws need to be updated.

More powers? Like hell. The FBI were the Keystone Cops in this. They leaked the pictures of the WRONG men as suspects. Not only could that have gotten them killed, it could have destroyed their lives. Also the FBI investigated one of these dudes and gave him a clean bill of health. Expanding their role will just expand their incompetence and chip away at more civil liberties for Americans.

Already Lindsey? The bodies aren't even in the ground.

Since Lindsey Graham is mentioned in this topic, perhaps someone can answer a question that has been puzzling me all day. I'll post the question here:

I took a vacation day off work today, so it turned out that I had the TV on to "Fox and Friends" (on normal work days I normally wouldn't have had it on). Well, who should appear but none other than Sen. Lindsey Graham. Now, here's my question: Where was John McCain? Was he off stage? Behind a curtain?

I thought it was a pretty good trick - the producers at "F&F" really did a good job hiding him. I don't know about anyone else, but I sure didn't see McCain's hand up Graham's backside, working the controls.

One could ALMOST fall for the illusion that Graham was speaking for himself.

McCain was under the stool with his hand up Lindsey's back.

Thanks. I knew he had to be around, somewhere.

Rumor has it they're working on an android Graham model that can be controlled remotely by McCain, but from what I hear it's not ready yet.
