The Leaky Phone

9/11! 9/11! Al Qaida! Al Qaida! WOT! WOT!

NSA is NOT spying on the citizens of America, only the terrorists. And then we have this:

Other sources have told us that phone calls and contacts by reporters for ABC News, along with the New York Times and the Washington Post, are being examined as part of a widespread CIA leak investigation.

It is my opinion that the American People have a right to know what their government is doing. If that means we have to learn about it by leaks in the newspaper (soon we will have leaks to the blogs) then so be it.

One week ago the President went on national TV to say, "Don't Worry! We're not intercepting telephone calls." Right. And the new CIA director is the Tooth Fairy. Our government is using phone call interception for just the thing that States like the former Soviet Union, China, the former East German Stassi (and myriad other regimes) have used it, spying on their own citizens.

What I don't understand is how these goof balls think they are going to get away with it. I have a barometer, it is my office staff. They are upset. Beware BushCo.
