Bush Administration Has Been Using Illegal Wiretapping and Spying Activity for Political Purposes.

A BUZZFLASH EDITORIAL

In an under covered trial in a California courtroom, a Constitutional drama of major significance is unfolding.

It is a federal lawsuit filed by Americans who claim that the Bush Administration, with the cooperation of AT&T, illegally spied on them. The Bush Administration has taken the Orwellian position that the trial must not be allowed to proceed because it would require the White House to reveal if they indeed have illegally monitored the plaintiffs – and that, the Bush Politburo argues, would violate "state secrets."

Why do we sometimes think that we are living in the Soviet-era, Stasi run East Germany?

In a recent BuzzFlash editorial, we noted that the acquisition of domestic spying powers for political purposes was one of three key strategies in the Republican effort to achieve long-term control of the United States apparatus of government.

3. of course "they" were
In Ohio in 2004 Kerry's phone lines and computers were hacked.
The level of sophistication was very high too. Ameritrech/ ATT
would have been a big help to "them."
