Pentagon snooping more extensive than previously reported.
A Pentagon review, led by intel chief Stephen Cambone, has found that the Defense Department’s classified terrorism database improperly included data on U.S. peace activists roughly 260 times. That’s up from the 186 times that they previously reported to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

/sarcasm off
April 5th, 2006 at 7:09 pmIn BushWorld, improper == legal
The USA is turning from a republic into an empire. This is how it happens, and it’s happening right before our eyes.
April 5th, 2006 at 7:17 pmDONT WERRY IF YU ARENT A TERIRIST U R OK

They probably didn’t phrase the answer correctly.
“He isa cat killing doctor that likes doing patient diagnosis from video tape”
Who is Bill Frist?

April 5th, 2006 at 8:02 pmWhen was the last time some of you were at a protest? The last one I was at in Madison WI- I had my picture taken no less than three times by really “creepy†people-giving me a very creepy feeling. Psy ops? Or do you think I may have made it into a database somewhere?
April 5th, 2006 at 8:20 pmI’m shocked and appalled, and hurt, and shocked…
April 5th, 2006 at 8:52 pmYa know; someone should call to have this president censured.
And if that’s how much Cambone is admitting to, it’s probaby a whole lot more.
April 5th, 2006 at 10:45 pmwhat’s that about ‘blessed are the peace makers’…huh.???…yeah, watch thoes darn ‘peace makers’….they are real dangerious….next thing you know they will want to start a PEACE!
April 5th, 2006 at 11:00 pmSo much for all that “I don’t mind, I have nothing to hide” malarky.
April 5th, 2006 at 11:42 pmIt’s a stupid way to fight a war-on-terror. Spying on everybody results in more information than you can process, information processors get overworked and careless and become exactly like Bush and Condi reading the August PDB. You read it but the mind does not process it.
The eavesdropping works best only when you are trying to spy on you political opponents and that is all it is probably used for.
April 6th, 2006 at 12:03 amWhy are you libs so paranoid?
April 6th, 2006 at 1:02 am“Why are you libs so paranoid? Comment by Lovable little fuzzball*”
Why are you CONs so paranoid of liberals? Spying on quakers and peace activists? You freaks have no shame, and you’re too stupid to THINK. That leaves you with fear, paranoia and SPYING as the only miserables thing you freaks have? Get some meds.
April 6th, 2006 at 1:10 amI know you libs like I know every square inch of my body.
April 6th, 2006 at 1:17 am“I know you libs like I know every square inch of my body. Comment by Lovable little fuzzball* ”
Loving little fuzz balls is the realm of reichwing republicans – just as Frank Figueroa and the rest of the republican predator crowd.
April 6th, 2006 at 2:17 amYou libs just can’t crawl out of the gutter.See,Ryan,if that’s your real loser name,I’ve reduced your so called argument to babbel.With power on loan.
April 6th, 2006 at 2:47 am260? Add a ZERO, or two, or three.
“When was the last time some of you were at a protest? The last one I was at in Madison WI- I had my picture taken no less than three times by really “creepy†people-giving me a very creepy feeling. Psy ops? Or do you think I may have made it into a database somewhere?” –WiscoDuk
Do you know what Cointelpro was? OF COURSE you are in a database, along with photos and video. You’re JOHN HANCOCK’D right next to me, brother/sister.
Not psy-ops, though. That’s something different. You’re on a dissidents list, but regrettably their coup FAILED in 2002, so they are just salting away info for the NEXT run at our Constitution.
DON’T BE AFRAID, BE ANGRY, and demand your rights. We WILL have justice for the crimes the Bushoviks have committed.
Oh, and Lovable? Eat me.
April 6th, 2006 at 3:07 am#19 Paul:Yours is just another lib paranoid rant.Next you’ll be talking about black helicopters.Get off the kool-aid or the mushrooms;get a haircut and get a life.You eat that you non manly man.
April 6th, 2006 at 3:28 amNo LLF we will be talking about:
GOP:
Party of veteran-haters
Party of child molesters
Party of war profiteers
Party of draft-dodging pussies
Party of gay prostitutes masquerading as reporters
Party of corrupt crybabies on their way to prison
Party of incompetence
Party of female impersonators
Party of Constitution haters
Party of freedom haters
Party of chimp-faced halfwits
Party of torture
Party of child-rapers
Party of desperation that is digging itself such a deep hole that all we’ll have left to do on election day is to shove the dirt on top of them and walk away
Ton Delay and Duke Cunningham are just the begining, more to come as Tom Rools on other repugs just like his repug lackeys rolled on him, and the Dukester rolled on others……
April 6th, 2006 at 3:43 amAll lies from lowlife lib.media.You have no ‘poof’.Get back to Barney Frank,Cliff.
April 6th, 2006 at 4:06 amYour right Bush had no proof of WMD’s before going to war and getting 2300+ american soldiers killed in his bid for immortality as a great “war” prezinuts

April 6th, 2006 at 4:23 amSo these are the terrorists that W and co. are wiretapping? Maybe it’s really 2600 times. Next we’ll find out they’ve been wiretapping Nancy Pelosi or something. W = Tricky Dick 2

April 6th, 2006 at 8:45 amTom DeLay “too liberal”?: Right Now on LCL
By the way, in the unlikely chance that anyone from the GOP congress reads this site, submitting false testimony is considered contempt of congress. Not that would matter to them, they have bigger concerns, such as finding a hotshot criminal lawyer.
And jumping into the McKinney v. Cop fiasco. To which, I offer a bit o satire:
McKinney Trial Moved to The Hague
EWM- (April 5, 2006) Succumbing to the reality that the U.S. legal system is not up to the task of handling the “trial of the century,†officials announced today that the cop-beating trial of Rep. Cynthia McKinney will be reclassified as a war crime and moved to The Hague.
McKinney is accused of striking a Capitol Hill police officer who accosted her for bypassing a security checkpoint in the Longworth House Office Building. McKinney, a black woman, says it was a case of “racial profiling.†The burley cop, who was not injured, says his “feelings were hurt.†A tourist who witnessed the incident says, “Christ on a cross, can these morons just get over it? 
April 6th, 2006 at 8:54 amSee, I told you that these republicans like smaller, less intrusive government.
And just remember, having a blow job or striking a cop who grabs you are both much worse that starting illegal wars that kill hundreds of thousands and plunge the country into trillion dollar deficits.
April 6th, 2006 at 9:10 amMore extensive than they admitted? Hmm, who wold have figured?
April 6th, 2006 at 10:20 amI’m guessing this’d STILL be just the bloody tip of the knife…
Surveillance is NEVER self-restraining…
just sayin’
April 6th, 2006 at 10:24 amDoes anyone have a list of anti-war and other progressive organizations that Bush’s NSA illegal wiretapping has been tracking?
Why is there no Congressional effort to put a complete stop to this bullshit?! That’s a rhetorical question, but one that deserves serious consideration…

April 6th, 2006 at 10:44 amShocked….just shocked
April 6th, 2006 at 10:47 amWhen will this shit end…..I am over these corrupt, lying, incompetent fools…..
#32 Worry not, it will be over soon. I am in TN and we are OVER this regime. For the first time since Bill Clinton blazed a path of hopefulness here in the South, people are leaning dem. It is an awesome sight and I am so happy about it.
It all started, down here, with the video diagnosis and the thought of government on their deathbed with them making decisions that they cannot.
You screwed up there, neoliberals, that was the beginning of the end for you in TN. Bring out the fat lady and the dance music because that tactic let everyone know that repubs are NOT FOR SMALL GOVERNMENT. Bunch of liars and everyone here has ripped off that stupid W and replaced it with an M.
April 6th, 2006 at 1:21 pmYeah, Lovely, but what part of your babble is the part where you EAT ME.
“I am in TN and we are OVER this regime.”
That’s good, but too bad YOUR VOTING SYSTEM still LOVES GW.
