I decided to post here in particular because this looked to be a bit of a more entertaining honestly left web site than found at False News.com (Fox News Channel). In fact, checking by there, they seem to have put a block on the website, where you get a whole lotta nothing trying to reach the web site itself. Could be they don’t want to share a web site or address now with people who disagree with their more radical new left (the dishonest left) approach to “the news”. I don’t bother watching the gyrations and pretzle tricks of these guys anyway so I’m not missing anything.

So, onto the NSA wiretapping and phone log collections. As CBS News explained without stating the obvious, guilt by association. If Ahmed called a pizza parlor for take out and Joe and Jane called the SAME pizza parlor also for take out. And if Ahmed had also a phone number for some cousin “with possible terrorist connections” in Afghanistan. At this point, the only connection that Joe and Jane have with Ahmed, is that they like pizza. Now, how will phone records of this sort establish a “terrorist network” pattern?

Those little mailers with the very small print that telecoms use to ‘expalin’ their privacy policy are overdue for a re-write. I predict more and smaller print than before.

Maybe the Neo-Cons are playing six degrees of seperation. Find the six people that seperate any person they may be interested in from Bin Ladin, show that relationship in the NSA’s files about that person’s phone habits and get a warrant to tap that person’s phone…. Except for the get a warrant part, the president doesn’t need a warrant cause he said so. Now the average american doesn’t need to worry unless he’s a whistleblower about corporate misconduct, financial fraud or other white collar corruption. That might get ya to Gitmo…. Might be a problem if you’re interested in government reform or accountability too…. And Karl would never use anything unrelated to terrorism to make someone toe the neocon’s line….

What a Great country….

Most of our civil rights erosions have been driven by the drug war. Almost all the legal decisions that have set up the claims that the current incursions are legal come from that.

I suppose it’s nice to see the erosions used for something useful. But I’m afraid that the combo of two unending “wars” , the drug war and the war on terror, could drive the Bill of Rights into oblivion.

OK, the president can have my phone records, but I want Karl Rove’s.

Why is it that we can create a secret NSA database to track the phone calls made by every American and collate that information to the point that we can find patterns in who calls whom and determine from that whether or not a person is talking to a terrorist, but we can’t create a database to determine if a guy applying for a job is using a SSN that belongs to a dead person?

Just wondering.
