Of the thousands of people being spied on by the NSA without a
warrant, officials have admitted that the vast majority have nothing to
do with al Qaeda or terrorism. Despite Bush’s claim that “if you’re
talking to a member of al Qaeda, we want to know why”, apparently they
want to know far more about your phone calls. The Bush NSA spy program
not only eavesdrops on thousands, but also
monitors phone calls, emails, and faxes from hundreds of thousands of
people. Sweeping new police state powers are watching over us. And who
knows what else this regime has been doing that has not yet been
exposed.
