... I say start with members of Congress. All of them.







But then of course, in my mind, "terrorism" includes much of what Wall Street does.

can hear what deals they are cutting with lobbyists and insider traders.

Just like Nixon. And there should be a panel of volunteer citizens to review everything and all should be posted onto the internet for text searches.

she stuttered a LOT, and sidestepped the question of whether she remembered saying "this conversation never happened"

All I heard was bullshit

The big Bush, W, got up and explained how he was wiretapping without warrants. Then the RepubliCONS in congress with the help of Dems (including Obama) passed a law saying it was OK to wire tap with secret warrants. Then they gave immunity from prosecution to all participating TellaComs.

And then Obama gets to kill anyone he wants and gets to have the military investigate, wiretap, indefinitely hold you without charges and try you in a military court.

Stupid politicians. The first people the military and police want out of the way is the opposition. It wasn't an average citizen that Nixon was wiretapping.
