CNN.com: Thank NSA spying on Americans for getting Zarqawi?
http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/06/09/iraq.al.zarqawi/index.html

"BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Intelligence from cell phone technology helped U.S. forces find and kill Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, said an Iraqi army colonel Friday in an exclusive interview with CNN."


While they don't come right out and say it, I think the fact that they left the spying vague is intended to provide justification for spying on Americans.

Fucking shills.

4. Oh crap! Were those telemarketers actually al-Qaeda? Well, then
I'm glad they were listening in on my phone calls. Death is too good for those fucking telemarketers. I mean terrorists.

2. CNN protecting their masters House of Saud and House of Bush, 24/7

3. Just saw this
you beat me to the punch.

I'll be waiting to see how this played out, and whether it involves a US phone number.

7. That's gonna be their cover - it probably DOESN'T...
... involve a US number. But they'll STILL use it to justify spying on Americans.

And CNN is right there helping them.

12. I know
But I'm gonna sit back and watch the lies. I'm sure it had nothing at all to do with a US number.

5. Its probably a geographical location revealed through a cell.
People forget that whenever you have a cell with you your location can be observed, whether or not GPS is built in and transmitting, your position can be triangulated through pings to cell towers. Somebody I know well worked on this technology at AT&T. NSA is certainly tracking this "public" information as well.

9. No, silly, it was his misfire video, and his captured friends
...but I guess that was yesterday before they figured they could get more political mileage out of phone records.

13. Maybe Zarqawi ordered a pizza? Really - I'm sure they have gotten
Edited on Fri Jun-09-06 05:08 PM by applegrove
some good info by listening in.. but just like in Canada.. they could do just as fine a job with warrants. Sure in an immediate emmergency get the warrants later. Sure - check out words like "****" or "******" on the internet. But really - no need for no oversight except that someone group covets more and more and more.

16. Okay, so who's the tipster who's going to get the $25 Million check?
Edited on Fri Jun-09-06 05:28 PM by zbdent
that they said they were going to pay out?

If it was a terrorist they were listening to, why are we going to give a terrorist $25,000,000?????

CNN proves that righties can't keep two thoughts inside their heads at the same time . . .

17. Cell phones in Baghdad?
That still doesn't give them the right to spy on Americanos.

And, zarqawi's dead..that's not going to stop the massacre in Iraq.

I don't buy their lies or their logic.
