I am predicting the next WH scandal will be:
* wiretapped not "just" international calls, he also wiretapped domestic calls.
Any bets on that?

1. I won't bet you.
Of course they've done it - that's why they sidestepped the law. In fact, Bush even admitted to the press that if he found it necessary to monitor calls between Las Vegas and (some other American city) - he would. No doubts it's been happening.

4. That's old news
Edited on Fri Dec-30-05 04:30 PM by ecoalex
Monday of last week had the revelations that all domestic phone, cable services gladly hooked up to the NSA after 9-11. So it's old news.

6. Total Information Awareness
I think they tapped all the domestic communications channels (data and voice), "Big Brother" style. The NSA has a gigantic budget.

10. Yep, we think alike. I don't think Patrick will like this
wiretapping thing any more than he likes the Plame leak.

They route the calls through Canada and then back thru the US. Voila - c'est internationale!

sucks up on demand. I have said it before here but I think something happened to that guy and they have something on him or else he would not support them in the least. He IS a different guy than he was a year and a half ago.

edit: spelling :eyes:

18. do some of your own "investigating"
Edited on Fri Dec-30-05 09:04 PM by diamondsndust
Why don't some of you more (ahem..cough) ADVANCED USERS check out a little program called Cain & Able and do a lil snooping of your own? This is a 2 part program that allows you to sit on any database until someone logs in to it with their name and password and you piggyback in on them... find what you want and get out!}(

HUH?!?! Hackers on the internet?!?!?! you GOTTA be kidding me!!;-)

16. For sure
they wanted to collect dirt on fellow republicans so they would stone wall congressional investigations on all the other shit they pulled.

19. I'm predicting that they will trace the Anthrax attack to the WH....that
the first victim was intentional because he was press-reporting and providing pictures of the drunken bush twins. the rest of the anthax attacks were just smokescreen when they realized the 1st motive would be determined/traced. I also think that the media runs scared today, because of that attack on one of their investigative peers....it was a warning shot fired across their bow. That's what I think.
