National Intelligence Director Reveals Previously Classified Details About Foreign Surveillance

[j-whitman]

Wow,,, The the comments section on the article, U.S.: Iraq Leaders "Unable To Govern" was sure shut down fast... I wonder how long before this one is ??

[j-whitman]

donnie900,,,,, Clinton didn''t create the problems whithin the CIA, any more than previous presidents ---- You''re missing the importent meat of the matter & allowing the small irrelivent stuff to distract from issue of using intel for political reasons & withholding critical intel from the agencey responsible for tracking Al Queda ------- We violate our own laws, Constitution & Human Values to get that intellegence.

[j-whitman]

donnie900,,, Amego, after 20 years in the military,, I think I would know what pisses of the military --- It wasn''t Clinton

[pepperp1]

Horse dung, that 200 supposed work hours could be stremlined to nothing but 2 or 5 hours tops.
You too can improve processes of your own making. What they do not want is a paper trail on their actions.



I want to be assured if not provided the details, that the illegalities conducted by the White House during the election year of 2004 on domestic wiretapping, when the DOJ leadership, very right winged republican DOJ leadership, said what the White House was doing was so egregiously illegal that they were going to walk out and resign and the AG feeble in intensive care assaulted in his hospital room in an attempt to coerce his signature of already DOJ declared illegal program by the soon to be future AG, did not impact any election in this country that year.

Actually, Bush the first cut the military... Clinton simply oversaw his predecessor''s policy.

As for the Pentegon, get real-- our nation''s officers are among the best, most moral brain trust our nation has. It''s not perfect, but it is *** good, by and large.

It''s the civilian leadership we need to worry about. They are the one''s who set up secret courts, secret policies, unaccountable organizations, and so forth. Your military leaders take their oath to support and defend the Constitution very seriously (I know I do) but your political civilians often give it as much thought as they do any other campaign promise.

Flush the political civilian leadership-- they are your traitors.

[donnie900]

If I was president? I''d just git a big backho. Dig that whole building up outta the ground. Burn it or somfin..

[donnie900]

Theres one dude walks around with a cowbell on the end of his nub.. Jewish fella. "How de heck is dat supposed to work?" Ya ask him. "Lots of grease.." De guy says.

[donnie900]

In the basement of the DOD is a place called: "Peckkkkerdom". Its bad azzzzed smelly place.. the smell''a poop, and weird general fetishes. Ya never realize how many different ways there are of having sexxxx until yaz git a commission. Real weird macho stuff..

[donnie900]

"We happen to torture people & lock them up without Due Process --- Just to get that exact intel."

J, I don''t think you realize just how much Clinton pissed off our military. He cut them in half. And its real dungeons and dragons kkkkrap. They love their weapons, and their money.

You are correct.

It would be amazing if "al qaida" or any other criminal organization believed that their communications were not being monitored.

One thing criminals have in common is paranoia. It is highly unlikely they are going to be openly discussing a plot over a telephone or the Internet. Al qaida''s "leaders" must surely be as intelligent as a drug dealer on a street corner.

And, for anyone who thinks government agencies (of many nations) are not monitoring their phone calls and Internet, I suggest they not engage in criminal activity.

Everyone is (or can be) being "watched" 24/7 by someone with some government agency. The US is not the only nation that spies on people.

[j-whitman]

I think many will miss the meat of the topic ---- Bush''s politically appointed current CIA director is the same NSA director that witheld Al Quida communications from the very agency tasked with following them, our CIA.

We happen to torture people & lock them up without Due Process --- Just to get that exact intel.

[j-whitman]

Speaking of wire tapping our so-called "Do nothing democrats" did an excellent job restricrting what Bush wanted,,,, It still takes a FISA court order to monitor coms between two foreigners in the USA,, & limeted it to only 6 months ------- Democrats deserve a hearty BRAVO ZULU,,, WELL DONE.

[missingamerica]

I don''t understand how revealing information about the wiretapping program as its constitutionality is debated might cost American lives.

The fact of the matter is between what has been in print and on the ''net for decades now everybody should rightly conclude that ANY form of unencrypted communications - with the possible exceptions of whispering in somebody''s ear in the middle of Death Valley with your lips covered so that you can''t be lip read or fiber optics where you have 100% awareness of its physical security - is not private.

[forthepeopl1]

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the report will be issued this morning, and spokesmen for both the White House and the director of national intelligence declined to comment. %u201CThe report says that there%u2019s been little political progress to date, and it%u2019s very gloomy on the chances for political progress in the future,%u201D said one Congressional official with knowledge of its contents.

SO LETS SEE OUR ELECTED DO SOMETHING NOW WITH THIS REPORT..IF NOT A REVOLUTION WILL BEGIN

Good point

Actually, we do have the chance to change things. But, we won''t do it.

What voters need to do is refuse to vote for any candidate whose name or face regularly appear in the media.

If the media is promoting a candidate, he or she is a corporate shill and nothing more. And, will only lead to further destruction of the US as we know it.

Voter apathy will lead to the collapse of the US as we know it. And, we only have ourselves to blame.

Candidates are not being given millions of corporate dollars and free publicity based on their good looks or their concern for "we, the people."

McConnell asserted that the current debate in the U.S. Congress about whether to update the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act will cost American lives because of all the information it revealed to terrorists.

"Part of this is a classified world. The fact that we''re doing it this way means that some Americans are going to die," he said.


McConnell, needs to get the excuses ready.
