Spying and Treason

Many democrats realize the liberal left has cost them too much by being so radical and so far out of the mainstream, leading most Americans to disqualify the party outright, as the facts expose the real liberal agenda that goes against not only the U.S. Constitution, but family values, freedom of speech and religion.

The real crime having been committed is not what the president did, but the leak of sensitive-secret NSA program to the liberal media by someone for political partisanship, which could be grounds for legal action of treason, by having given a dangerous enemy knowledge to use against America while in a time of war.

The US Justice Department has opened a probe into the leaking of classified information which revealed that President George W. Bush had authorized a secret government wiretap program, an official source said.

The president's call for a probe came after US media (NYT) reported that Bush had authorized the NSA to engage in an operation to monitor massive volumes of telephone and Internet communications.

The president's order enabled the NSA to monitor, without a warrant, international telephone calls and electronic mail of US citizens suspected of ties to Al-Qaeda.


While the U.S. government, supported by majorities in national polls, is ignoring laws on oversight of homeland spying, the British are developing systems to literally follow, photographically, every citizen on his or her daily rounds.

Big Brother, the fictional invention of a British writer, George Orwell, will be real and functional within a year. The first step, scheduled to be operational next March, will use thousands of cameras linked to government databases to photograph every vehicle entering or leaving London, driving on major highways or stopping for gasoline -- and checking those movements against driver's licenses and other government information over two- and five-year periods.


"The new national surveillance network for tracking car journeys," said Steve Conner, science editor of The Independent, "... is already working on ways of automatically recognizing human faces by computer ... every move recorded and stored by machines."

Police also project a need for more complicated surveillance systems, schemes aided by hidden computer chips in new cars and trucks.

The system, originally planned as a crime-prevention and detection system, has been in development for 25 years. In Britain, as well as in the United States, police quickly realized that such innovations as automatic cash machines and EZ-pass readers provided a rough map of many people's lives -- and led to thousands upon thousands of criminal arrests. But there is no doubt that terrorism incidents and threats will speed development and make what were once considered unacceptable invasions of privacy more acceptable to the British -- and, one day, to Americans as well.


Seems Big Brother is growing two heads!
