What was the Gestapo doing spying on us BEFORE 9/11? Yet ANOTHER Bush LIE and yet another example of a dictator ignoring our Constitution. Sieg Heil Bush

Not exactly sure what my mentioning our rights in The Bill of Rights has to do with Al Gore.

Currently a majority of the world''s telecoms go through U.S. companies.

Europe and asia will not stand to have their communications compromised, as this info becomes available for anything from blackmail to insider trading. And, communication hubs will shift out of the U.S.

We must get the criminal Bush administration out of office as soon as possible...

will give away the rights this country was built on rather than question the sanity and honesty of their "leader".

No different than everyone running around yelling ''the world is warming...the world is warming'' because Gore says so. People have been trying for decades to get industries on board to make energy effecient machines..cars, air conditioners, lawn mowers...but not until Gore comes out with the ''global doomsday forcast'' do the jetsetters and politicians with their eye on the ball jump on board with the media w..h..o..r..e..s not far behind. It took 30 years for auto makers to get serious about getting us off the oil t..i..t in the middle east because no one wanted drilling or refineries going up any where near them. Suddenly coal and oil sources are out of step with Gore''s theology. There are glaring errors in his ''foundations for failure'' but no one seems capable of creating a genuine and independent thought on their own...Gore said it so it must be true...why would he get the Nobel Peace Prize if he wasn''t right! He''s the flavor of the day and eventually enough science will be applied to his ''discoveries'' and enough serious investigative and impartial media interest will prevail to prove Gore is nothing more than a paper tiger alarmist with political asperations at the core. Being respectful of the planet didn''t originate with Gore.

This is how fascists operate. Read the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. We''re on the same path with the lying, war-mongering NeoCon SOBs running our nation, and the pathetic Democrats who are too afraid to stop it.

Cheney and Bush deliberately LIED us into the Iraq disaster. Maybe they thought the Iraqi''s would roll-over and let our corporations steal their Oil. Most likely they knew there would be resistance, but figured not matter what the death and destruction, it would be worth $21 TRILLION in IRaqi Oil reserves.

Americans generally still do not understand what is happening to our nation. Most are tuned out on Reality TV. Many fell victims of the scare tactics. Remember the color-coded terror alerts? How about ''Fight them over there so we don;t have to fight them here''-- which is ludicrous. Others welcome the safe feeling of having an authoritarian "bring ''em on" War President. A lot like Germany in he early thirties.

Google "RebuildingAmericasDefenses" and read the NeoCon PNAC papers in their own words.

This spying was going on before 9-11. Why TF isn''t the Administration being investigated for violating privacy laws. They can''t say they had the patriot act to support this illegal activity. And just who was being spied on? If you think it was just terror suspects, I''ve got some old Harkin Oil stock I''d sell you cheap. It looks to me like Mr. Nacchio is the real patriot here for standing up for the constitution. It also looks like he may pay a high price for that patriotism. Congress needs to get off their dead *ss and put these crooks out of office now.

This is by far the most evil regime we have had in the White House. Bush thugs and dictatorship are in the same category as Stalin and Hitler''s police states.

interesting to watch the Bush attempt at empire crumble. and nice to see the media finally developing some courage to go after these goons.

I think there is going to be a steady stream of other interesting stories of how Bush & Co tried to destroy America nad attack its citizens.

Um, has it escaped everyone of the DATE the meeting was held? 6-7 months BEFORE 9/11...

They were gunning for violation of our rights before they had a reason...they used 9/11 as power grabbing time and an excuse.
