While the gummint is busy listening to and trying to legitimize listening to phone conversations of US citizens, they are overlooking written communications of jailed terrorists.


:wtf:


WASHINGTON, Oct. 3 (UPI) -- The U.S. Bureau of Prisons is not doing enough to ensure that terrorists and other high-risk inmates are not continuing their criminal enterprises in jail.


A report Tuesday, from the Department of Justice Inspector General Glenn Fine, "found significant shortcomings in the (bureau's) efforts," according to a statement from his office.

In March 2005, media reports disclosed that three inmates at the federal "supermax" security jail in Florence, Colo., convicted for their part in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, had written over 90 letters to other alleged terrorists overseas between 2002 and 2004.

The recipients of the letters included Spanish inmates with links to the men who bombed Madrid commuter trains in March 2004. Islamic radicals in Spain allegedly used the letters to help recruit suicide operatives

4. To monitor them, they'd have to admit that they exist.

And since they were arrested, tried and convicted on Clinton's watch, that can't be allowed. Because, after all, Clinton did nothing to fight terrorism.
