    SPECTRE at Large

    So let's see, the most secretive US administration has been wiretapping US citizens at will. Who's doing the listening? People like Rove and his cohorts? Why not? Who are they listening to? Suspected terrorists or members of Congress? Noted Democrats?

    Is the Administration suddenly going rise about partisanship when they can tap anybody they want and not have to answer to anyone? What would those resulting dossiers look like? Gee, is blackmail a possibility? How about extortion? Impeachment off the table? A free ride on damn near everything? Some Senator's second cousin twice removed is know to be screwing goats!

    Damn, SPECTRE must have won. OMG Cheney must really be Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
