It is known that Bush is secretly tapping the phones and emails of "persons of interest" without court-ordered warrants, under the guise of "fighting terrorists." We know he's extended this intrusion into the lives or ordinary Americans and suspect he's eavesdropping on political opponents and progressive groups. But what if he's allowing the NSA to funnel information to corporate cronies? What if he's using the US spy agencies as a clearinghouse for information beneficial to his "friends" in big business? Let's say a CEO "supporter" comes to him and says, "George, I want to buyout xyz, Inc. and I need all the information I can get prior to our negotiations with them. Get this for me!" Could Bush order the NSA to tap the phones and email of xyz, Inc. and pass that info/intel on to his corporate master? In essence, using US agencies for corporate espionage?
Any thoughts on this?
