    In an address delivered in Washington to multiple standing ovations, Vice President Al Gore repeatedly attacked the Bush Administration for the expansion of executive power — the ability of the government to wiretap its own citizens without legal authority and kidnap Americans abroad.

    CONGRESS WILL soon hold hearings on the National Security Agency’s domestic spying program, secretly authorized by President Bush in 2002. But that program is just the tip of the iceberg.
    Since 9/11, the expansion of efforts to gather and analyze information on U.S. citizens is nothing short of staggering. The government collects vast troves of data, including consumer credit histories and medical and travel records. Databases track Americans’ networks of friends, (…)

    NEW YORK, Jan 11 (OneWorld) - Forget the ongoing privacy debate over U.S. government spying on telephone conversations—soon you may not have the right to tell cops to wait until you open your door.
    In a case involving a private citizen and police authorities of the Midwestern state of Michigan, a team of civil rights lawyers appeared before the Supreme Court this week to challenge the police practice of storming into homes to look for whatever they want as evidence of a (…)

    At least seven House Democrats learned about the NSA’s secret spying program four years ago. So why didn’t anyone blow the whistle?
    By G. Pascal Zachary
    President Bush deserves plenty of blame for secretly authorizing domestic spying by the National Security Agency. But some of the president’s fiercest critics in Congress gave him the political cover to do so. The question why they did so says much about the nation’s brittle democracy and how Democrats have covertly joined with (…)

    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 signing a secret (…)

    Michael P. Wright — Norman, Oklahoma, USA — mpwright9@aol.com
    When agencies and officials refuse to answer questions, their silence is revealing in its own special way. I have received very little cooperation in my search for answers about Nick Berg.
    Before attending the University of Oklahoma in the fall of 1999, Berg had earlier been a student at Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania. Why would someone who could attend far more prestigious eastern schools choose OU? I have (…)

    EU AGREED TO CIA PRISON FLIGHTS — With these words: "Both sides [EU-US] agreed on ... increased use of European transit facilities to support the return of criminal/inadmissible aliens...."

"The return" is what the CIA calls "rendition"; and "criminal/inadmissible aliens" are persons who have been renditioned to Guantanamo, CIA prisons in Eastern Europe, and states that practice torture in the Middle (…)

    I don’t understand. An hour after I saw the Times "scoop" on the Bush illegal wiretapping plan, I wrote that it was clearly illegal and unconstitutional.
    But as it now turns out, dozens of politicians, as well as the New York Times knew about the surveillance plan and did nothing.
    Representative Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic leader in the House, and Senator Jay Rockefeller, the Democratic senator from West Virginia, a man known for some sensitivity to civil liberties infringements, and a (…)
