Shhhh - The NSA Is Listening, or Maybe I Should Say Reading

Considering how heavy-handed those in law enforcement have been of late when handling protesters, it sent more than a small chill up my spine yesterday when Congress sprinkled holy water over the NSA's domestic spying program. I can understand why it is so important for this administration to have a close handle on any means of communication. This is, after all, a war of PROPAGANDA. And they need to know WHO knows WHAT in order to fight it better.

For example, on 9/11, Iraq Veterans Against the War handed out pamphlets in front of the Pentagon that informed those willing to read them about the 'depleted uranium' ammunition that the USA has been using in its last few wars. It's not NEW information. After the first Gulf War, there was a very small outcry concerning these special bullets. So what was the threat here? Perhaps it's not as easy for the Pentagon to discredit veterans who have firsthand experience, as it is for them to discount documentaries and newspaper stories. Yeah, better put those guys in jail. Veterans are definitely a BIG threat to this administration. No doubt whatever about that.

It seems that we, the American people, have become this administration's prime suspects in the war against terrorism. I have chills folks, don't you?
