Will the Obama scandals ever stop?
From My Way News: The Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of
reporters and editors for The Associated Press in what the news cooperative's
top executive called a "massive and unprecedented intrusion" into how news
organizations gather the news.
The records obtained by the Justice Department listed outgoing calls for the
work and personal phone numbers of individual reporters, for general AP office
numbers in New York, Washington and Hartford, Conn., and for the main number for
the AP in the House of Representatives press gallery, according to attorneys for
the AP. It was not clear if the records also included incoming calls or the
duration of the calls.
In all, the government seized the records for more than 20 separate telephone
lines assigned to AP and its journalists in April and May of 2012. The exact
number of journalists who used the phone lines during that period is unknown,
but more than 100 journalists work in the offices where phone records were
targeted, on a wide array of stories about government and other matters.
In a letter of protest sent to Attorney General Eric Holder on Monday, AP
President and Chief Executive Officer Gary Pruitt said the government sought and
obtained information far beyond anything that could be justified by any specific
investigation. He demanded the return of the phone records and destruction of
all copies.
"There can be no possible justification for such an overbroad collection of the
telephone communications of The Associated Press and its reporters. These
records potentially reveal communications with confidential sources across all
of the newsgathering activities undertaken by the AP during a two-month period,
provide a road map to AP's newsgathering operations and disclose information
about AP's activities and operations that the government has no conceivable right to
know," Pruitt said. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20130513/DA68MMQ82.html
Which group will find out that Obama and his ilk have been spying on them? Liberal groups who thought he was not liberal enough? Gun owners, conservative bloggers or just maybe the person looking back at you in the mirror.
First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.
And
First they came for the hackers.
But I never did anything illegal with my computer,
so I didn't speak up.
Then they came for the pornographers.
But I thought there was too much smut on the Internet anyway,
so I didn't speak up
Then they came for the anonymous remailers.
But a lot of nasty stuff gets sent from anon.penet.fi,
so I didn't speak up.
Then they came for the encryption users.
But I could never figure out how to work PGP anyway,
so I didn't speak up.
Then they came for me.
And by that time there was no one left to speak up. - Alara Rogers www.alara.net
