Welcome CIA Blog Inspectors!

We'd just like to take this opportunity to offer a hearty 'Hello!' to the CIA agents who recently trolled our blog courtesy of data mining technology provided by ANS Communications.

Nice job, boys, and thanks for leaving a DNS trail on the site meter.



Of course, we realize that the Terrorist Surveillance Program is classified and only select members of the Congressional Intelligence committees and leadership were (partially) briefed. The existence of the program was not known to the American public until December 2005, when the New York Times, after learning about the program more than a year earlier, first reported on it.

Under this program you are conducting domestic surveillance without Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court authorization, which the text of FISA defines as a felony.

The Bush administration argues that the program is in fact legal on the grounds that FISA is an unconstitutional violation of the President's "inherent powers" and/or that FISA was implicitly overridden by other acts of Congress.

We argue in response that this is complete hogwash dreamed up by the right-wing nut jobs at PNAC who pretty much run things via the Bush puppet Presidency.

We foresee three possible outcomes:
  1. This all blows away in the political wind.
  2. Agents conduct raids under cover of darkness and wisk us away to unknown third world countries for 'rendition'
  3. Sanity returns to the American electorate, the current crop of Texas Oilmen (and other crooks masquerading as politicians) are put on trial for various crimes, and reparations are made to loyal God fearing patriotic true-blue Real Americans such as we who speak out in the Democratic tradition of dissent.
