 Bush’s Spy Program Predated 9/11Posted on Jan 16, 2006
Truthout: The National Security Agency advised President Bush in early 2001 that it had been eavesdropping on Americans during the course of its work monitoring suspected terrorists and foreigners believed to have ties to terrorist groups, according to a declassified document. The NSA’s vast data-mining activities began shortly after Bush was sworn in as president and the document contradicts his assertion that the 9/11 attacks prompted him to take the unprecedented step of signing a secret executive order authorizing the NSA to monitor a select number of American citizens thought to have ties to terrorist groups.

How much more has to go on before enough people wake up and throw this monster out of power? I thought American’s prided themselves on freedom of speech and right to privacy. Am I wrong?

Bush and company decided early on to defraud this company, and now people see that he should be impeached.
