John Dean on Olbermann: "we've just seen the tip of the iceberg"

[CatWoman]

"Bush has completely out-done Nixon"

re: the wire tap scandal.

[Coexist]

1. Watching! "utter in-your-face defiance of the law"

I love it!

[joemurphy]

2. Dean says Nixon looks like a lamb compared to Bush. n/t

[CatWoman]

3. FISA law doesn't cover the phone companies releasing the information

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

24. The law here would be that the NSA is not allowed to spy on Americans.

I would think their data mining of info from Americans would be illegal.

[Coexist]

on the bogus poll "this is typical of civil liberties problems"

"most people take their rights so for granted."

4. Win the 06 election. Start the investigations.

Americans will be stunned to know what has happened under Bush.

[Coexist]

5. agreed.

[Cooley Hurd]

6. I'll kick your thread, sweetie...

You were there first.:hi:

[CatWoman]

7. every day I'm the first to start a thread

only to be pushed aside by others.

thanks for your consideration, CH :hi:

[Coexist]

8. I'm still here!

:toast:

[Maddy McCall]

9. Hi, Catwoman...

Anytime you start a thread, I'm responding to YOU. Now go fix your title back! :hi:

[CatWoman]

11. LOL

It's just that it gets so frustrating.

thanks.

[Sydnie]

10. I can relate

:hug: I read yours though. :hi:

[CatWoman]

12. thanks

:hi:

I'm not trying to be a thread hog, but I "was" the first to post this.

15. R & K

for a nice catwoman.
:thumbsup:

[EFerrari]

16. No kidding! And, Dean's been sounding the alarm for a long time.

It's good to see him justified, even in this creepy way.

[SammyWinstonJack]

17. "It's hard werk" out doing Nixon, but bush is up to the task!

:evilgrin:

[sellitman]

19. * makes me miss Nixon

:banghead:

[petgoat]

20. Hunter Thompson, who made a career out of loathing Nixon,

said the same thing.

[sellitman]

22. Raygun comes in 3rd but not that far back either. n/t

[jarnocan]

21. I am so eager

to hear more- sometimes I worry some people draw conclusions, before we know the entire story. They take statements- as TRUTH-scu as; they aren't 'listening' (unless they want to) or they are ONLY using it to catch terrorist (but maybe the DFA is terrifying to the far -right).
I hope the additional info will be well covered. I think many in the media are fed up- but they can get reigned back- so fast.

[Joe Chi Minh]

23. Get that man in Congress.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

25. It was a stunning interview and I woul love to see it again.

Crooks and Liars doesn't have it, nor does CanOFun. :-(

I would have watched the rerun but the time clashed with Randi on Larry King (which I missed the first go round).

26. The Spies Who Shag Us

The Spies Who Shag Us

The Times and USA Today have Missed the Bigger Story -- Again

A BUZZFLASH GUEST CONTRIBUTION
by Greg Palast

I know your shocked -- SHOCKED! -- that George Bush is listening in on all your phone calls. Without a warrant. That's nothing. And it's not news.

This is: the snooping into your phone bill is just the snout of the pig of a strange, lucrative link-up between the Administration's Homeland Security spy network and private companies operating beyond the reach of the laws meant to protect us from our government. You can call it the privatization of the FBI -- though it is better described as the creation of a private KGB.

The leader in the field of what is called "data mining," is a company, formed , called, "ChoicePoint, Inc," which has sucked up over a billion dollars in national security contracts.

Worried about Dick Cheney listening in Sunday on your call to Mom? That ain't nothing. You should be more concerned that they are linking this info to your medical records, your bill purchases and your entire personal profile including, not incidentally, your voting registration. Five years ago, I discovered that ChoicePoint had already gathered 16 billion data files on Americans -- and I know they've expanded their ops at an explosive rate.
