Where there is smoke there always is some fire.
New information shows that wire tapping has been going on and that it was ordered by Bush and Cheney.
But what is shocking is that it was to a degree that would make the K.G.B. blush:
Former National Security Agency analyst Russell Tice, who helped expose the NSA's warrantless wiretapping in December 2005, has now come forward with even more startling allegations. Tice told MSNBC's Keith Olbermann on Wednesday that the programs that spied on Americans were not only much broader than previously acknowledged but specifically targeted journalists.(Spy Becomes Whistleblower, emphasis added). These crimes cannot stand or our nation will be damaged further.
"The National Security Agency had access to all Americans' communications -- faxes, phone calls, and their computer communications," Tice claimed. "It didn't matter whether you were in Kansas, in the middle of the country, and you never made foreign communications at all. They monitored all communications."
Prosecution must take place.
The senate republicans are trying to block the AG nominee Holder. They are paranoid about what they have done over the last 8 years.
ReplyDeleteExcept for a few decent men and women in the republican party, they sold America down the river.
The new spook in town says leave Americans alone and focus on enemies.
ReplyDeleteThat is a deep thought for some, obvious to others, and never conceived of by the bushies.
Why did they start spying on Americans 7 months before 9/11 ... when they say they had to do it to protect against terrorism after 9/11?
ReplyDeleteThey started spying on Americans(mainly journalists) before 9/11 to collect info on people so they could blackmail them to STFU AFTER 9/11. You will notice the government and others were also spying on the hijackers before 9/11. But for some reason their emphasis was on journalists and the hijackers although being spied on were left alone to do 9/11. The end result being the Bush administration got a reason(War on Terror)to go with their expansion of powers and war.
