When the people talk, the U.S. Government listens.
That may be a flippant takeoff on the old E.F. Hutton ads, but it's looking more and more true -- and sinister -- each day.
First, government officials said that calls from America to foreign lands were being monitored in the war against terror.
Then we read in USA Today that tens of millions of Americans' phone call records were given to federal officials covertly so that "patterns could be detected".
Then ABC journalist Brian Ross learns from an unnamed senior federal official that he and another reporter, Richard Esposito, had had their phone calls monitored by the FBI.
One FBI official even remarked that Americans should get new cell phones.
I once again ask, WHAT COUNTRY ARE WE LIVING IN?!
We just "liberated" Iraq so that the people can live "free" and have the same rights that we enjoy here. Iraqis, you too can "freely" live with the government monitoring you, spying on you, harassing you. Wow...want Saddam back?
Can we get someone to come liberate us from Bush?
