You know, Bush rode over the Constitution and our civil rights by spying on every American and getting the telecom companies to go along with him. He used these strictly for political gain, and you're OK with it? Remember Nixon and Watergate? (Oh wait, that was a non-event, riiiight).

Wow, move along; nothing to see here.

I doubt ANYONE in their right mind is going to let the sap and his cronies get away with it; because if they do; then it's perfectly allright for anyone else to do this and this neds to be stopped in it's tracks.

>"On February 14, 2006, UPI reports Tice testified to the House Government Reform Subcommittee on National Security, Emerging Threats and International Relations that the Special Access Program might have violated millions of Americans' Constitutional rights, but that neither the committee members nor the NSA inspector general had clearance to review the program."

Or, how about this?

>"I work in telecom now. Since 9/11 all telecoms are required to have what is called "Lawful Intercept" as part of their messaging software. Any law enforcement person can come and have "diverted" emails or messages of customer phone numbers or email addresses."

So Tom, I guess you don't mind the local cop having access to your entire private life. And, ON WHAT GROUNDS DOES HE HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPY ON YOU?

Fish head.
