BACK TO THE 60s

You may recall that the FBI, the CIA, the NSA and various Dept. of Defense intelligence agencies illegally spied on almost anyone who opposed the status quo, especially the anti-war demonstrators. Once the Church Committee looked into this, the rules were changed but since 9/11, the threat to our privacy has returned. The Raw Story reports that the telcoms are routinely turning over data to the police and I suspect other agencies.

This is why Pres. Obama was wrong to argue that we should just turn the page on the illegal spying of the criminal Bush regime.
