Subject: Nixon's Watergate Wet Dream --Using Plumbers Without
Fearing Leaks-- Come True
A BUZZFLASH EDITORIAL
http://www.buzzflash.com/articles/editorials/157
In an under-covered trial in a California courtroom, a
Constitutional drama of major significance is unfolding.
It is a federal lawsuit filed by Americans who claim that the Bush
Administration, with the cooperation of AT&T, illegally spied on
them. The Bush Administration has taken the Orwellian position that
the trial must not be allowed to proceed because it would require
the White House to reveal if they indeed have illegally monitored
the plaintiffs – and that, the Bush Politburo argues, would violate
"state secrets."
Why do we sometimes think that we are living in the Soviet-era,
Stasi-run East Germany?
In one of Alberto Gonzales’s farcical appearances before Congress –
when the FISA illegal eavesdropping first broke in The New York
Times (after they sat on the story for a year) – Gonzales was asked
if the spying might have been used for domestic purposes other than
terrorism.
Gonzales responded, in essence, that he couldn’t say for sure.
With domestic spying powers just recently legally expanded by a
Democratic Congress to include, according to The New York Times,
certain types of physical searches on American soil and the
collection of Americans' business records, the Bush Administration
now has legal authority to achieve what Nixon attempted to do
illegally in the Watergate burglary.
And if the Democratic Party were to sue over a modern day Watergate-
style operation, the Bush Administration would tell the court that
it can’t reveal why it conducted the spying operation on a
political party because it would violate national security.
