None dare call it treason ... again

From USA Today, Updated 5/11/2006 12:30 AM ET


"The National Security Agency has been secretly collecting the phone call records of tens of millions of Americans, using data provided by AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth, people with direct knowledge of the arrangement told USA TODAY.

"The NSA program reaches into homes and businesses across the nation by amassing information about the calls of ordinary Americans — most of whom aren't suspected of any crime. This program does not involve the NSA listening to or recording conversations. But the spy agency is using the data to analyze calling patterns in an effort to detect terrorist activity, sources said in separate interviews."

I read this first over on truthdig.com under The Gravest Assault on Privacy in U.S. History.

What we have now known for some time is that leaders who will sanction this kind of activity will sanction anything to stay in power. "This kind of activity" is a growing list of subversive and radical acts by Neocons mirroring the Nazis. Neocons have violated the spirit and the letter of our Constitution.

We have to start by asking ourselves whether what I just wrote is the truth or is not the truth?

If it is the truth then when will we the people hold them accountable for their criminal -- no -- treasonable acts?
