Ubiquitous Spying and Cell Towers
kenny's SideShow: Ubiquitous Spying and Cell Towers - The vote is in. The House rejects the Amash amendment to an upcoming Pentagon appropriations bill which would have barred the NSA from using a PATRIOT Act provision to collect the phone records of all Americans. The White House lobbied heavily against the amendment with Jay Carney, or Jay Carnage as he is also called, saying: "We oppose the current effort in the House to hastily dismantle one of our Intelligence Community’s counterterrorism tools. This blunt approach is not the product of an informed, open, or deliberative process. We urge the House to reject the Amash Amendment, and instead move forward with an approach that appropriately takes into account the need for a reasoned review of what tools can best secure the nation." So much for Barry's 'debate' on the spying issue. Did anyone really think it would go otherwise? The shills against the amendment of course had to invoke 9/11.
