Remember this?
Sunday March 2, 2003


The United States is conducting a secret 'dirty tricks' campaign against UN Security Council delegations in New York as part of its battle to win votes in favour of war against Iraq.

Details of the aggressive surveillance operation, which involves interception of the home and office telephones and the emails of UN delegates in New York, are revealed in a document leaked to The Observer.

The disclosures were made in a memorandum written by a top official at the National Security Agency - the US body which intercepts communications around the world - and circulated to both senior agents in his organisation and to a friendly foreign intelligence agency asking for its input.

1. Yeah. W wanted to make sure he had the inside dope on all who oppose him.

It's not easy being a dick-tater.
It's hard work.
Still, one does whatever is necessary to git one's way.
Lie.
Cheat.
Steal.
Kill.



All in a day's work.

2. Nixon-esque

No?

I'm not getting my hopes up Nixon was brought down by an active press that is hard to come by these days.

3. This is so wrong

The concept of tapping the phones of our allies is just wrong. We have no allies now because of the arrogance of the bushies.

4. But nobody calls this scandalous

at least not the Corporate Media.
