NSA Spying Comes Under Attack

maotx writes "The NSA's no-longer-secret surveillance program came under a two-pronged attack this week on both political and legal fronts. Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania threatens to cut funding to NSA's spying program if President Bush's administration does not come clean on how it works. Separately, two hearing dates have been set for a lawsuit that seeks to prove that AT&T illegally cooperated with the NSA and violated federal wiretapping laws in doing so. Sen. Specter emphasized that he doesn't want the issue to fade into the background, saying that he'd like to see 'public concern and public indignation build up.'"

And I thought the slashdot left-wing groupthink was a myth... I literally got modded down for asking for a link for evidence so I could read about the torture, murder, and revocation of citizenship by the American government to American citizens on my own, instead of taking the word of some slashbot.

So much for "facts".

Hay, give them a little time.

They are having problems getting the signitures "just right" on those existing documents. Oh, and fixing the dates on the letterheads. The originals will soon be available, in Microsoft Word Vista format, signed by Ronald Reagon himself.
