Repub sues Bush over illegal surveillance


(Washington, D.C., February 17, 2006) Scott Tooley, a Republican, and former Congressional aide and law school graduate, educated at renowned Christian universities, has filed suit against the President, Vice President and relevant federal agencies for their illegal surveillance programs.

According to the complaint, the Bush-Cheney Administration initiated numerous illegal and perpetual surveillance methods on Mr. Tooley and his family after he was incorrectly placed on the TSA’s “selectee” or watch list.

Mr. Tooley’s case is unique because the suit alleges that Bush Administration has used additional illegal surveillance methods on him in addition to the illegal wiretapping. Mr. Tooley is also the first Republican to file suit with regard to the Bush Administration’s illegal surveillance programs.

In the many months prior to filing suit, when Mr. Tooley asked federal agencies for the removal of his name from the TSA’s watch list and any documents relating to the matter, he was stonewalled and told that the agencies could neither confirm nor deny that his name was placed on multiple watch lists.
