Americans: Say Goodbye to Privacy!
What constitution? Deputy Director of Intelligence, Donald Kerr argues for a police state in America in the name of fighting the war on terror.
From an AP aticle by Pamela Hess:
"A top intelligence official says it is time people in the United States changed their definition of privacy.
Privacy no longer can mean anonymity, says Donald Kerr, the principal deputy director of national intelligence. Instead, it should mean that government and businesses properly safeguards people's private communications and financial information.
Kerr's comments come as Congress is taking a second look at the Foreign Surveillance Intelligence Act.
Lawmakers hastily changed the 1978 law last summer to allow the government to eavesdrop inside the United States without court permission, so long as one end of the conversation was reasonably believed to be located outside the U.S.
The original law required a court order for any surveillance conducted on U.S. soil, to protect Americans' privacy. The White House argued that the law was obstructing intelligence gathering."

From an AP article titled, "Bush Calls for Expansion of Spy Law":
"President Bush said Wednesday that a law hastily passed in August to temporarily give the government more power to eavesdrop without warrants on foreign terror suspects must be made permanent and expanded.
If this doesn't happen, Bush said, "Our national security professionals will lose critical tools they need to protect our country.""
Whatever. Click here for more of the f-ckery....
