Government Admits to Yet Another Domestic Spying ProgramPosted on Sep 2, 2006
The Education Department has admitted to searching through millions of student loan records on behalf of the FBI. The government says the operation, known as Project Strike Back, was meant to uncover information on individuals allegedly related to terror investigations. The FBI defended the program, claiming intelligence suggested would-be terrorists attempted to use student loans to fund their nefarious schemes, which might finally explain Bushs hostility to Pell Grants.

If you believe any of this I’ve got some really nice, hardly used bridges to sell you in Brooklyn. But hurry, they’re going fast!
It’s so comforting having agencies such as the FBI and CIA monitoring threats on our behalf. What I want to know is who’s monitoring them?
Somehow the faceless, often anonymous bureaucracy has taken control of anything that matters in the USA and there doesn’t seem to be anything anybody can do about it.
Enjoy!

And to think we spent 40 years and zillions of dollars fighting a cold war against the Soviet Union, a country whose policies we deplored - spied on its citizens, censored the news, tortured prisoners, and ignored habeas corpus, only to turn around 15 years later and do the same things. If subverting our democracy was the goal of the Soviets, they needn’t have bothered. We’ve managed to do it all by ourselves.
