Everything That Can Known, Will Be Known
[Read the article: The NSA is on the line -- all of them]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This article is most interesting but not all that surprising for those of us who have long been interested in electronics,computers,the long history of intelligence, the long history of American intelligence networks, James Bamford's writings, Orwells 1984 and the concepts of 'big brother', those of us who are not afraid of being called conspiracy theorists, the work of code breaking during WWII including the work of Alan Turing et.al, the NSA/CIA incinerator built in Solon, Ohio that spewed unburned sigint intercepts out it's stack, the NSA/CIA truck that dropped it's load of sigint intercepts out the unlocked back door of it's semi-trailer, the OSS, the CIA's beginnings after WWII, the rarely but occasionally tangentially alluded to items by friends who were in submarine duty and other sigint's in Air Force intelligence, most peoples awareness that government is usually hiding information and the frequently recurring evidence confirming this as fact, the awareness of what small time hackers/crackers often youngsters are able to do via a simple home computer, the awareness of huge databases like 'Choice Point', Reed-Eselvier over by Troy, Ohio, AOL and all the data that has leaked from these places, the immensely sophisticated data mining and information gathering software possessed by the 'Big Three' credit agencies, all the information that was available to even the average person and now is still easily available to any businessman, lawyer, private investigator, policeman, almost any politician at any level of government and almost any person with any connection to any politician currently in government or even in government in the past or almost any high ranking military officer and many enlisted men who handle private information in the course of their daily duties etc.etc.etc. ad infinitum, and including any and all people all over the world who work in almost any aspect of the computer/IT industry. So suffice it to say that there are millions of people who either have access to this private information or at the very least have a very good to excellent idea of the kind of information that is out there. I am very/fully aware of the kind of information that is 'out there' and I don't fit into any of the above categories.
Anyone who voted Republican in the last two elections are the people in this country who unleashed this Bush/Repub/special interest group administration upon the citizens of the USA. Because the real problem is not so much that this information is 'out there' but that it is being used by a corrupt and criminal administration to spy on all(don't anyone dare to believe that the information gathered is narrow,specific and targetted because it is most certainly nothing of the kind and anyone who says those things is just outright lying and therefore should never be believed) citizens of the USA and of the world.
Just as Nixon did, Bush & Co. use all this information to their own advantage, a fact that will most assuredly come out at some time in the future. I guarantee it. Or as Justin Wilson, the cajun chef, used to say "I gar-an-tee".
In other words and to put it simple, the Bush/ Cheney/ Repubs/ Rove/ Rice etc being the criminal and corrupt people that they are will turn any and every bit of this information to their political and personal advantage. They will turn all of this information to the advantage of their cronies, Big Business(prescription drug companies, oil/ energy companies, insurance industries, banking, health care, Halliburton, Bechtel and many special interest groups like the radical religious right wingers.
Let no one be surprised when this kind of data gathering corruption comes to light because nothing can be kept secret forever. The most corrupt organization in America is our very own federal government which constantly lies to the American people. Even the Russian and Chinese governments know more about what the Bushies are doing than the American people or even our congress is aware of.
To me the biggest wrongdoing that this administration makes is lying to the American people. That is the biggest wrongdoing that any president can do and Bush is without a doubt the worst president in all of American history.
Everything that can be known about every American citizen will be known about every American citizen, even I know that. It's just a matter of time and how much the American people are willing to let this government get away with. I say all of this and I'm not even a Democrat.

Goss was pushed, we Just need to figure out why
[Read the article: Porter Goss' spooky demise]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Goss was pushed out by the president, but he(Goss) is just another Florida Repug so who cares, let them all 'chew' on each other to their own self destruction. Any government that unendingly lies to the American people is criminal. So the Bush/Repug admin is not only corrupt but is criminal as well.
Bush, a true proof of the 'Peter Principle' will just promote another crony 'stepford' thinker who will do exactly as our corrupt and criminal president tells him. They all just rise to the level of their own incompetence.
Unfortunately they do so much damage to our nation while they incompetently do their job or if they are competent they are criminal because they disobey the laws of our country just as does our unitarty executive, dubya.
