Bush Orders NSA To Snoop On U.S.
Bush Orders NSA To Snoop On U.S.
Ashlee Vance

Not content with spying on other countries, the NSA (National Security Agency) will now turn on the US's own government agencies thanks to a fresh directive from president George Bush.

Under the new guidelines, the NSA and other intelligence agencies can bore into the internet networks of all their peers. The Bush administration pulled off this spy expansion by pointing to an increase in the number of cyber attacks directed against the US, possibly from foreign nations. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) will spearhead the effort around identifying the source of these attacks, while the Department of Homeland Security and Pentagon will concentrate on retaliation.

1. Spy this!!!
Fuck you, George W. Bush, and your wife, and your cat. And Dick Cheney too!

I don't want to be spied on, is that so strange? If a stranger turns up at my house and starts peeping through the windows, I know what to do. (Usually kindly ask them to leave)

Hell, if I wanted to be scrutinized for the rest of my life, I would have stayed for ever in the Big Brother series!!! Free food as well!
