Sounds like a lot of sour grapes to me...

Paul also said on Sunday that he believes there are some in the Senate who want to see an attack, so he can be blamed for the lapse the Patriot Act, a comment that Pataki found "outrageous."

"I can't speak for him, but I think the idea that anyone would want to see an attack in America so that he gets political blame is outrageous," Pataki said. "The thought that someone would want to see Americans killed for some political reason is just beyond the line to me."
I can actually see that.....  I don't think Paul is wrong on that, due to the way some have gone on about keeping the spying going.... really toe curling stuff coming from some of them. You can see the anger and venom spurting out of photos of them.... not just their words.
