How long before the Bush surveillance....

taps into young men and women of draft age

is made available to local law enforcement to pick up criminals

is linked with the IRS

is linked with child support

is made available to civil service employment offices

results in erroneous arrests

tracks consumer preferences

remain solely in the hands of the military?

it was already happening when we learned that they were spying on people without court warrants.
with the bush dictatorship we learn things after they have happened...and we are usually told a pack of lies that makes themselves look benevolent human beings, which, they are not!

question)...and that is, that we learn of what bush has done retroactively, after the fact, and usually we are told packs of lies that make them look good and benevolent. they are neither good, benevolent nor honest...some of this is already happening although we do not have a factual knowledge of it.

...:7 give me a break!!:D of course not! or, was i? }(

You have to look at the debacle of 9/11 and the amount of crud that was collected and used never used and good info that didn't get analyzed. The intelligence agencies needed to update and still do. A lot of the stuff they waste time on is preventing them getting the real baddies.

the privacy issue is huge with or without legal or criminal concerns. Very disturbing.

We know what they are up to and now that the ship is sinking they are kicking it up a notch.

How cool is that if you're a republican.

In the Indianapolis Star there is an anonymous section called Let It Out. It allows people to make random quips on just about anything. Heres one persons take on the surveillance:



"Doesn't bother me if the government listens in on my phone. I seldom use it and have nothing to hide. Plus, their agents will be falling asleep listening to my wife yak on and on. But liberals and traitors, beware."

Although it's called the Indianapolis Star and Indianapolis is liberal for the most part a lot of the readers are from outside of our Safe Zone.

The next remark gives another perception:

"I love these comments from right-wingers saying they wouldn't mind the government listening in on their phone calls. These are the same folks who refuse to put their Social Security number on any official document."

I'd have to agree with the 2nd.

Here's a link for all of the random comments (most have nothing to do with the surveillance)
