The Spies Overhead

The Bush Administration is moving forward with its plan to turn the CIA and NSA spy satellites on Americans.

The last line in the article almost got me to barf on my computer:

"DHS spokeswoman Laura Keehner... said its operations will be subject to "robust," structured legal scrutiny by multiple agencies."

Wow. Is that ever not comforting. Given that this is coming from the same Administration that has proudly proclaimed in the past that it has the right to designate anyone it wants as an "enemy combatant" and hold that person or persons forever, without any legal review, anyone who accepts the word of any spokesweasel of the Bush Administration about this has the IQ of a turnip. This is the same administration that claimed it has the right to send the Army into your home to conduct a search without a warrant. They are the same people which are collecting every email you send and every document you attach to those emails. They at least are collecting all caller identification on every telephone call you make, if not outright monitoring them.

"Structured legal scrutiny," no doubt by the same sort of soulless hyenas who thought that it was just peachy to torture people.

Can you imagine the outcry from the GOP if Bill Clinton had proposed any of this stuff?
