The NSA wiretaps would certainly enable BushCo. to carry out such an operation and it would explain the silence by so many Dems and others over the last few years.

7. Just one of many methods.
Blackmail from wiretap info. Lack of any real Anthrax investigation. Wellstone. Rumours, unconfirmed, of payments related to Abramoff. Most have wives and children.

Just one look at how they ran their campaigns. One look at the many instances of driving policy via assassinating the personalities of their opponents, rather than justifying stances on issues.

I think this cabal uses any and every black hearted method they can. Every single one.
