Coming soon to an FBI field office near you........

Warrantless investigations


Quote
Attorney General Michael Mukasey has agreed to allow Congressional hearings, but not to delay, the implementation of new FBI regulations that would allow them to spy on American citizens who are not suspected of any crime. As an editorial in the New York Times points out, this is a power that has a history of abuse. In times past, it was used to wiretap Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. and to spy on other civil rights and anti-war protesters


Are we in a time warp or something?
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

this plays right into what i was saying the other day about that fifth amendment. it was been ignored before and will continue to by fbi, cia, armed forces and police.

it also plays to what i was saying about an american xenophobic government.

i think someone should keep a very tight leech on people who can be given too much power, you know the saying "power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely".

Cowardice is no selfishness, Friendliness is no enemy and Information is no attack platform.

Judge these words wisely and you might make it through this cruel world.

No. Well... not unless they falsify the dates; which I wouldn't put past the FBI.

Well it could be used as a tool to intimidate political activists or political enemies.
