To prevent their crimes from being exposed, the Bush regime
is now spying on the media, and threatens to punish any reporters or whistleblowers
who leak information.
The FBI admitted yesterday that they have been seeking phone
records of reporters at ABC News, the New York Times, and the Washington Post. Every time a news report has uncovered more
about the NSA spying, Bush has lashed out, saying this endangers national
security. Rather than investigating its
own criminal actions, the government is investigating whoever made them public. And the Bush regime is already seeking to
block a lawsuit against AT&T for providing customer phone records to the
NSA.
All this has to make you wonder: what else are they hiding
from us?
The World Can’t Wait! Drive Out the Bush Regime!
