Comments on: NSA To Deny Bugging Diana's Phone

Official Tells CBS News Agency Had Files On Princess Because She Came Up In Others' Conversations

"At any rate folks, this went on during the clinton administration. Let's remember that."

So I read this and I thought, "Are people blaming Bush for this?" Then I looked back at all the posts and it seems that eveyone was blaming the CIA, not Bush. So it seems that to the majority of posters here, it's wrong no matter who was in the oval office. Apparently to Jane, it's not a big deal, but if it were, we should remember that Clinton was in office. Things that make you go "hummm?"

"Another non-story by CBS."

"Can British authorities tap our lines without the approval of our government?"

Rest assured that if it were discovered, the righties would consider it an outragous abomination and not a "non-story."

Shades of J. Edgar Hoover!!!

First CIA, now it's Secret Service. How can we tap European phone lines without consent? Can British authorities tap our lines without the approval of our government? Or any country for that matter?

I hope Diana lies in peace. She most certainly is missed.

ronin10; if he simply changed his/her name then complaints didn't really work, did they?

Fear OUR Govt or take steps to ensure the regime in power is totally removed and dealt with, the recent elections were a start.
Imagine that, we SPYING on Princess Diana, there really is NO limit to the things this country will do, including illegal wiretaps on US citizens.

janem4 - you really should take your pills.

who cares must be low on news!

Perhaps the CIA should focus on terrorists instead of rich/famous people.

It makes me angry to think that they wasted resources monitoring Lady Di instead of terrorists such as Osama Bin Laden etc.

No wonder 9/11 happened - the CIA was probably too busy monitoring Hollywood Movie Stars who thought George Bush was an idiot.

Makes you wonder. Why do they call it intelligence?

[oleander8]

And these wire taps were in the era of having to have a warrant before tapping? Who issued the warrant/s and what was the justification for them? Who is to be held accountable? I'm disgusted and, once again, profoundly disappointed in my government.

The CIA tapped Diana's phones because of her an anti-land mine campaigning? I hope the press raises holy hell over this obsurdity (nah, they're sucking off the corporate teat and will ignore it). This is just more evidence that nobody is safe from US government intrusion and we're all doomed to the fascist rule they are implementing behind our backs.

It's time to re-think the idea that the government can tap anyone without oversight because of 'the war on terrorism'.

I'm sure the right wing nuts will find nothing wrong with this stupidity and even defend it because they don't think they have anything to lose... but then again, they're not very deep thinkers... those proven dimwits stick their fingers in their ears as they sell out their own country.

After reading nonsense like this, I'm more afraid of my own government than I am of terrorists. I guess it's time to put on my tin foil hat and join the rest of the paranoids out there... we live in very scary times.

Further proof that the CIA interferes where it shouldn't - regardless of her anti-landmine (pardon the pun) stance.

emhawks asks, "Why would her work as an anti-land mine campaigner be of interest to the CIA??"

----------

Maybe because the CIA plants many of the land mines? ;)
