Allard’s linking of senator, terror “out of bounds”

Apparently, the pressure is starting to have an affect…
::: Allard declined to answer other questions about the matter, saying he was late for a hearing and would talk later. He could not be reached later in the day, but his office re-released a statement it had given Tuesday to a liberal radio program.
“I have tremendous respect for and share Senator Feingold’s determination to protect the First Amendment rights of every U.S. citizen,” the statement reads in part. “However, in case of the NSA’s surveillance of terrorists, I think Senator Feingold is barking up the wrong tree. We should be looking for new ways to better track and apprehend terrorists, not punishing the president for fulfilling his constitutional responsibilities.”
Allard did not address the statement he made about Feingold siding with terrorists.
“Senator Allard’s comments were unfortunate,” Feingold said in a statement Wednesday. “Supporters of the illegal domestic- spying program know they don’t have a legal leg to stand on, so they are reduced to questioning the patriotism of those who point out the simple truth that the president is breaking the law.”
