It was GREENWALD who called out Bush and Cheney on ILLEGAL N.S.A. Spying back in 2007!

41. nineteen50 - follow the money.

Senator Di Feinstein is one of the Senators in charge of the Senate oversight committee on intelligence.

Here is how she has operated in the past - once carefully ensconsed inside the Senate, she re-wrote the Senate Ethics Code. It was framed by her and a handful of trusted associates to read so that anyone who voted for any item, and then went on to either personally make money from that vote, or else have their spouse or child or other loved one make money from that vote, could not be considered to have be involved in a "Conflict of Interest" as long as the vote had any other purpose outside of the money being made.

So she then went on to vote for the Iraq War resolution. Her husband, Richard Blum, made 27 millions of dollars almost immediately after the US Shock and Awe campaign, on various war contracts he assembled through prior knowledge and his wife's connections.

Do you think for one minute that she is not about to receive another windfall from Surveillance Contracts?

A great deal of the military's annual 1.2 trillion dollar budget is now being diverted to surveillance.

And of course, it is not only Sen Feinstein - it is a great many of the other people in Congress, who are feeding at the trough of the defense and surveillance companies.
