Terrorism continues to be the excuse for spying on American citizens
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
A great expansion of Police State powers continues in the United States under the guise of the War on Terror. History has been all but forgotten, however: in the history of the modern world, far more terror has been caused by governments terrorizing their own people than by terror-minded enemies. The U.S. appears to be next in line to repeat these same mistakes...
The expansion, included in the 2004 authorization bill for
intelligence agencies, has already been approved by both the House and
the Senate, and lawmakers from both chambers approved the provision as
part of the larger bill in a private session late Wednesday, officials
said.
Senator Richard J. Durbin, Democrat of Illinois, introduced a motion
to limit the life of the new law, but it was defeated on a party-line
vote.
"I'm concerned about this," Mr. Durbin said in an interview.
The approval came despite 11th-hour concerns raised by five Democrats
and a Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, who questioned why
their panel --- which has responsibility for overseeing the F.B.I. ---
was shut out of any discussion on the little-noticed proposal.
