What if they're spying on Bush ??
Because once that Pandora's Box is open, no one is safe - not even George W Bush. This is a very crooked road we travel. It is unpredictable in its turns. Has he looked into the eyes and hearts of everyone at the NSA? Is he so naive to believe that everyone is willing to help him break the law? What a foolish little fellow! I hope he is reading this. I hope a shiver just went up his spine thinking about what someone may have heard him say what he thought was in private. George, your secrets may not be as secret as you think. We have had spies working inside before you and Dick Cheney ever arrived on the scene. You are being watched.

8. This was a while ago...

I'm checking to see if there might be anything current or more specific.

14. I've been told that....

there is a "real rebellion" and that the "revolution has just begun" with respect to the NSA.

There's also this:

"Sibel Edmonds Calls for National Security Officials to Step Forward as Whistleblowers"

15. The NSA is the most profesonal of any of our Intel Services
if you read body of secrets that much becomes clear. So chances are that they are the ones least likely to like what is going on, or the very ilegal orders. It is drummed into their heads ever working day of their lives, that they cannot do what they were asked to do inside the US, or against US Citizens with no proper warants (outside the US). You can bet that they are not happy at the very least. You can almost bet that they will find ways to skirt those orders or challege them. Maybe it was an NSA Agent who leaked it to the NYT thinking, well they will come out now... and then watched in horror as the NYT sat on it.

2. Be still my beating heart

I hear what you're saying, but the NSA is essentially a tool for dickhead republicans to abuse. Unfortunately, I doubt they are interested in having the goods on Bush.

10. Having the goods on you is a prerequisite for power.

A few skeletons in the closet can also be an asset.

It should be as easy to destroy you as it was to create you.

3. That could be why he's such a bubble boy. He's scared
out of his wits, and has been for some time. Witness
his public outings; he has to have audiences vetted.
Witness his 'coronation'. I never saw so many
bullet-proof vehicles at once, and to protect him
from his constituents?
I think dimson is very afraid.

5. Bush* would label them a domestic terrorist and have them
listed on the terrorist list along with the Quakers who protested the war.

Bush* says he has the authority to do this because he is the Commander-in-Chief in a time of war. No one else could have that authority.

In other words, he would spin just another version of I am above the law but you are not. Same old story played to a different tune.

7. It all depends on what he might have said in secret...
Did he really say the Constitution was just a damn "piece of paper"? What else has he said that might be considered treasonous?

6. A lie will always unravel
and a whole bunch of lies
will unravel spectacularly.

Why is it that every crook
thinks they will be the
one who gets away with it??
