4. Selling them to Private 'security' Corporations who then sell them to individuals.

I always wondered where those companies were getting information on individuals you see advertised all the time.

Anyone remember when Gen. Clark was running in 2004 and someone found out his phone was being monitored? A reporter 'bought' information on him for $100 and got a ton of info. He never released it, but sent it to Clark to warn him of what was going on.

We used to care about these things back then and there was outrage at the time. Congress held some hearings on 'data mining Corps' but as usual, didn't do much about it. They never do when Corporations are making money.

And I think this is what they are so desperate to hide, that all this surveillance has zero to do with security, that is all about MONEY. And it is billions of our tax dollars that are paying for it, under the guise of the old WOT routine.

It's a great scam. You have Booz Allen getting billions of funds for security. Then you have the CEO of Booz Allen get appointed as 'Director of Intelligenca', an old Bush guy. Anyone think he 'testifies' before Congress as to how much 'funding' is needed to protect us from 'terror'??

We have been scammed.
