NEW Grand Theft Election: "Party Like Its 1984" Did NSA Spy on 60 Minutes?
We know that the NSA has been collecting info on domestic telephone calls for years.

We know that the administration will break the law to punish its enemies (witness Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame).

We know that the administration considered 60 Minutes one of its enemies ever since it broke the Abu Ghraib stories.

We know that a Georgia attorney with no know expertise in typewriters was able to post a technical analysis of a FAX of the letter written by W.'s commanding officer within 24 hours of its airing on 60 Minutes. Because it was a fax, the analysis (obviously done by someone else, who would not put his or her name on the work, and then posted by the attorney under the pseudonym Buckhead) was flawed, since the process of faxing a document creates changes in the appearance of the type and spacing. A puzzling question is how did Republican operatives see the program, obtain the document, think of getting it analyzed, analyze only a FAXED version of the document, get that analysis to Buckhead, plot to have Buckhead post it on Free Republic and plan the right wing blog response all within the short space of 24 hours.

Yes, they could be lightening fast. Or, there could be a more sinister explanation?

This is all speculation. But it is the kind of stuff we should be thinking about, that now we know that the NSA has been listening in to our phonecalls.

1. It might explain a lot of things. Hell, we even tapped the UN!

2. Without oversight by FISA, it should be assumed BushCo
has been spying on all politicians, media and any person thought to be a threat or a source.

3. That would be about 71% of all Americans by latest count. Boy, they must
be busy trying to GET all of us. At some point the wheels will start falling off this whole operation.
