If this is true, and I have NO reason to believe it isn't, it should result in a criminal trial of those involved. A capital trial. For treason.

Um, it wasn't the journalists tapping the CIA. It was the NSA tapping the journalists...

If true, you don't get anything like this in place without a HUGE paper trail.

Why does this surprise you? All goverments do this. Big brother is always watching. What, you think you actually have a right to privacy? Well you don't.

Why am I not surprised? If true, this warrants a full-fledged investigation.

Google the following terms: Carnivore, Echelon




Everything you say on a phone or email is scanned for keywords. This is not some wacko consipiracy theory, these are documented programs.

Why does this stuff shock people?

And I thought Fox was considered a biased news source...

 

[alchemize]

OH, and this is a repost

Ocguy, that carnivore is not in place.

Anyway, those of us with brains knew the warranless wiretapping was a time bomb. How the fvck can honest Americans defend this kind of thing...if it is true, of course
