  • "The Constitution was based on the principle that ’trust me’ isn’t good enough"
    23 January 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    WASHINGTON // As the White House prepared to ratchet up its defense for the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on Americans without court warrants, a small group of House Democrats convened legal experts and advocates in a basement hearing room to poke holes in the administration’s legal rationale.
    President Bush’s argument that he has executive power to authorize such surveillance "flies in the face of both common sense and legal precedent," said Rep. John Conyers Jr., the top (…)

    The recommendation by Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., law scholar Jonathan Turley and Florida-based political activist Richard Hersh emerged at an unofficial House Judiciary Committee hearing staged entirely by Democrats on the day that (…)

    23 January 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    WASHINGTON - House Democrats and a panel of legal experts assailed the Bush administration’s secret domestic surveillance program Friday, calling it an illegal and dangerous threat to civil liberties and a presidential power grab that has thrown the country into a constitutional crisis.

    By Carol D. Leonnig
    The Bush administration argued yesterday that the president has inherent war powers under the Constitution to order warrantless eavesdropping on the international calls and e-mails of U.S. citizens and others in this country, offering the administration’s most detailed legal defense to date of its surveillance program.
    The Justice Department’s lengthy legal analysis also says that if a 1978 law that requires court warrants for domestic eavesdropping is interpreted as (…)

    Why did it take so long? 01/19/2006 17:15
    It was not surprising to discover that George W. Bush chose to illegally spy on American citizens
    I only have one question: Why did it take so long? In previous Pravda.Ru articles (Bush vs. Hitler, The Great American Treason, Articles of Impeachment and Indictment for High Crimes and Misdemeanors, The Death of the Bill of Rights, Parts I and II, and others), I warned of the clear and present danger the Bush dictatorship represents to America’s (…)

  • Pakistan bombing story full of BS
    19 January 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Are we stupid enough to accept the lies promulgated to and through the media - that four al Queda militants were killed in Friday’s CIA operation on the Pakistan border?
    From the L. A. Times: "... in a statement today, Pakistan’s federal administrator in the border region confirmed that the house was targeted because 10 to 12 foreign extremists had been invited to dinner there to celebrate a Muslim holiday.
    Four or five militants died in the strike, and villagers took their bodies away, (…)

    by Jason Leopold
    The National Security Agency advised President Bush in early 2001 that it had been eavesdropping on Americans during the course of its work monitoring suspected terrorists and foreigners believed to have ties to terrorist groups, according to a declassified document.
    The NSA’s vast data-mining activities began shortly after Bush was sworn in as president and the document contradicts his assertion that the 9/11 attacks prompted him to take the unprecedented step of (…)
