NID Admits ATT/Verizon Help With Wiretaps
Unlikely_Hero writes "National Intelligence Director Mike McConnell has confirmed in an interview with the El Paso Times that AT&T and Verizon have both been helping the Bush Administration conduct wiretaps. He also claims that only 100 Americans are under surveilance, that it takes 200 hours to assemble a FISA warrant on a telephone number and suggests that companies like AT&T and Verizon that "cooperate" with the Administration should be granted immunity from the lawsuits they currently face regarding the issue."
Any of you morons who constantly whine about fascism get a knock on your door in the middle of the night lately?
Thought so.
But it sure makes your sad, pathetic lives seem more important when you whine and seethe about it.
In a real police state, speaking "truth to power" earns you a trip to a prison, mental institution, or a ditch in an empty field.
Assholes.
Libera... wait, you're using the American definition of liberal aren't you?
Amusing you Americans throwing around statements about naivety. Your whole country seems to be a pretty gullible lot. You were played like a twenty dollar whore, and half of you still don't realize it it. It'd be hilarious, really, if not for the people that hat to die because of that charming american airheadedness.
The reaction you exhibit is amusing. Caught with your pants down, you look around frantically to others you can throw blame on. The last best tactic available to you. "But.. but.. but... BOBBY STOLE COOKIES YESTERDAY, I SAW IT", you exclaim, your guilty willy waving free in the wind.
Anyway, it's not just France and Russia. We don't like you up here in Canada either. From what I can tell, Indians, Indonesians, Europeans (in general), South Americans, and Africans all think you're assholes too. Well.. at least you have Poland (actually, you don't.. most of the poles I've met think your country is full of assholes).
You better start digging through the internet now. It's gonna take a while to pull up dirt on every country in the world. I'm sure you'll find SOMETHING, and I'm sure that something will make you feel better about the horrible things your country has done, and you won't feel the need to really come to terms with it or apologize for it.
