CIA, Military and the beat goes on!
Well, silly me for wondering the "method behind the madness" at in-fighting between the CIA and John Negroponte, the Director of National Intelligence. Negoponte has quite a history as Ambassador to Honduras. Maybe you'd care to check out his "human rights" background. Something about convert funding of the Contras. Those of you too young to remember the Iran-Contra situation under Reagan might find it either entertaining or scary. Guess it depends how much you care for the laws of not only America, but international laws.
If Hayden is comfirmed, ALL US intelligence will be under MILITARY CONTROL and CONGRESS HAS NO OVERSIGHT (not that they do much with the powers they have). OK, think about this: an Administration who brag about breaking 750 American laws with an intel gathering done by the military.
Yahoo: "If Hayden were confirmed, military officers would run all the major spy agencies, from the ultra-secret National Security Agency to the Defense Intelligence Agency." So now the suggestion is he retires from the Air Force. I pray Congress doesn't fall for that ploy!
Is this still a democray or . . . I'm not gonna spell it out to you, but I'll give you some hints . . . it starts with "F" and was very popular amongst the Germans and Italians, particularly during the 1930's. One could argue the French were willing collaborators during those times.
Another top CIA dude resigned, Kyle "Dusty" Foggo. He and Goss are thought to be involved in the bribery scandal that sent former Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham to jail for 8 years. Prostitutes, gambling, bribes: GOP Family Values under the spot light. Throw in Ralph Reed, formerly of the Christian Coalition, Abramoff, Scanlon, and a few others. The FBI is investigating the CIA!
Watch the dominoes fall. Help give them a shove! They've been shoving us around for too long.
What does that have to do with punk? Punks don't ignore such things. And you won't be alone. Imagine this: top Dems and GOP leaders are "questioning the wisdom" of Hayden.
Join the fight. It's your future.

Jenny:
You've mentioned that the Bush junta has broken 750 laws - where did you get this information?
I don't doubt it, and I'm not questioning you, but how did you find out about this? Which 750 laws?
Please explain, as I'm interested.
