Who do you think the NSA may have spied upon?

[kentuck]

John Kerry...Howard Dean?

Michael Moore....Tim Robbins?

Nancy Pelosi? Bill Richardson?

Who do you think may have been on their list, other than me? :)

[BushOut06]

1. Everyone on that list, and then some

Probably all the senior Democratic leadership; Cindy Sheehan; Barbra Streisand; Susan Sarandon; Ted Turner; and probably many people who post on this forum frequently.

2. UN guys like Blix

3. Me and you and a dog named Boo

I think they data-mined like crazy, and ya know what else? I don't think they did jackshit with the info, other than file it away for a later day. That stuff could be useful in show trials of the future, I suppose...if they get their way.

4. All Democrats

Which is why we need to cut through the Republicans' lies. They say that we don't care about terrorism because we don't want any spying. That is a lie. The problem is that they are only supposed to be spying on terrorists, not on us. If they were only spying on the terrorists, there wouldn't be a problem. I wouldn't have a problem with that, & neither would most Democrats. But when you start spying on people just because they aren't in your party, I have a problem with that. We all have a problem with that, & we need to pound them with this.

5. All of the above and ....

Mopaul too. :evilgrin:

[baldguy]

6. Every prominent critic of the government.

The NSA has the ability to sift through thousands of conversations every second of the day.

John Kerry, Dan Rather, Joe & Valerie Wilson, Cindy Sheehan, etc. etc

Until we have proof otherwise, we have to assume that everyone is being spied upon.

7. NSA spies on everybody, see "Body of Secrets" by James Bamford.

The important question is to whom do they report their findings?

[H2O Man]

11. It's good to see

Bamford on MSNBC frequently these days. His books are required reading, in my opinion.

8. it could be anyone!!

I saw some idiot on CNN this morning who said Bush is doing the same thing other President's have done during war. He compared it to intercepting enemy messages during WWII.

I don't buy that argument. First we were told they were only looking at messages where one contact was outside of the country and now we find out they've also been spying on people where both people were inside the US!

I don't trust this govt and I don't think anyone else should trust them either. And since it is highly classified info, no one knows who they are spying on or why!! It could be anyone of us.......and it could also be for any reason or no reason!!

9. clintondidit clintondidit clintondidit

It's the same old tired cliche - "Clinton did it too". This myth has been busted already, it's been shown that the programs that Clinton and Carter had were nothing like what Bush is doing now. For one thing, Clinton actually used the system that's in place, whereas Bush is determined to circumvent it.

10. are they spying for corporations?

those ceos must be getting something for their million$ in donations.

[Hubert Flottz]

12. MoveOn.Org

Anyone who was a registered democrat. Any republican that didn't agree 100% with the king.

[C_U_L8R]

13. Free Republic

Yes the Bush admin is spying on us.. their political enemies...
but even more so they are spying on their base
and the lunatic core of the reich (like freeps, limbaugh,
falwell, focus on family, and of course congress).
As good ol' Heinrich used to say, knowledge is power.

14. There's got to be a reason Kerry ROLLED OVER

and played dead.

[Warren Stupidity]

15. The NSA system intercepts ALL electronic communications.

Dwell on the word ALL. All electronic communications go into a huge front end processing system (or systems actually) where they are crunched into database entries in an even huger back end database system. At their leisure, analysts can browse this database for who what where and when connections and keyword contents.

The question is who had access to the NSA system and how was it used, not who did the NSA spy on. The answer to that question is simple: they spied on all of us. We are all security risks in the new security state. The are 'monitoring potential terror suspects' and those suspects would appear to be the population of the planet.

16. A much shorter list includes those NOT spied upon....

...all of us have been subject to NSA domestic spying. If you mentioned or wrote a key word that triggered action by the NSA systems, you can count on your file being flagged as a one of interest.
