    2 January 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    WASHINGTON, Dec. 31 - A top Justice Department official objected in 2004 to aspects of the National Security Agency’s domestic surveillance program and refused to sign on to its continued use amid concerns about its legality and oversight, according to officials with knowledge of the tense internal debate. The concerns appear to have played a part in the temporary suspension of the secret program.
    The concerns prompted two of President Bush’s most senior aides - Andrew H. Card Jr., his (…)

    Mr Murray, who publicly raised the issue of the usefulness of information obtained under torture before he was forced to leave his job last year, submitted his forthcoming book, Murder in Samarkand, to the (…)

    WASHINGTON, Dec. 30 - The Justice Department said on Friday that it had opened a criminal investigation into the disclosure of classified information about a secret National Security Agency program under which President Bush authorized eavesdropping on people in the United States without court warrants.
    The investigation began in recent days after a formal referral from the security agency regarding the leak, federal officials said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the (…)

    By Sheila Samples
    Folks at the White House stay pretty busy these days just trying to untangle the lies George Bush keeps telling every time he opens his mouth. For example, back in April 2004, Bush explained to a cheering audience and an unchallenging press corps in Buffalo about "eavesdropping" on Americans — "When you think ’Patriot Act,’ constitutional guarantees are in place when it comes to doing what is necessary to protect our homeland, because," he said earnestly while leaning (…)

  • Charles Krauthammer on Spying On Americans: Where’s The Abuse?
    31 December 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Krauthammer, the perennial mouth piece on Fox news, does not perceive any abuse by Bush and his secret data mining operation. In fact the abuse is staring America in the face, Bush Lies. Bush told the American people that the courts were a buffer for the rights of American citizens and were being honored. It appears that honest American Patriots, that were privy to a top secret spying program knew this was a lie and became Whistleblowers to the NY Times. The whistleblowers also knew that (…)

    Background: The UK government has been quick to deny that we practice, or tolerate the practice of Torture. So it is perhaps not suprising that they are determined that you should not see the following documents: http://users.pandora.be/quarsan/craig/telegrams.pdf http://users.pandora.be/quarsan/craig/npaper.jpg

    So now, at last, the crisis is upon us. Now the cards are finally on the table, laid out so starkly that even the Big Media sycophants and Beltway bootlickers can no longer ignore them. Now the choice for the American Establishment is clear, and inescapable: do you hold for the Republic, or for autocracy?
    There is no third way here, no other option, no wiggle room, no ambiguity. The much-belated exposure of George W. Bush’s warrantless spy program has forced the Bush-Cheney Regime to (…)
