President Bush says he will veto any legislation that doesn’t give the Patriotic Phone Companies immunity for illegally spying on Americans. The phone companies are begging for immunity from breaking the law because they say they were only being patriotic and trying to help keep us safe.
In the FISA debate the phone company’s main legal argument on why they spied on Americans and should be exempted from lawsuits challenging the legality of warrantless spying on phone calls and emails is that they were helping the government as a patriotic duty in a time of crisis.
Well that is a bunch of B#LL$#IT. It is reported in CNN that the phone companies have cut off wire taps because the FBI was late on paying their bill. Now that is real patriotism.

The only thing that this so called war on terror has produced is dead and wounded Americans and super rich war profiteers. Since September 11th 2001 this country has enriched many American Corporations who milk our treasury dry.
Here is another site dedicated to exposing this.

The head ChickenHawks in this administration have made millions from the blood of our brave troops and the misery of Iraqi civilians. Dick “Head” Cheney for instance has never completely severed his ties to Halliburton and receives millions of dollars in deferred income and stock dividends with all the no bid contracts awarded his company.
Former Attorney General John Ashcroft now heads The Ashcroft Group; a consulting firm that helps companies win federal homeland security contracts. Former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge runs a consulting firm and advices Lucent Inc. Joe Allburgh was the head of FEMA and now runs New Bridge Strategies a unique company that was created specifically with the aim of assisting clients to take advantage of business opportunities in Iraq.
These and many other people from the Bush inner circle are traitors and have used the blood of America’s best for mega profitable business opportunities.
Where is the outrage?? Has any candidate commented on war profiteering?? Where is the leader with the courage to say, as Franklin D Roosevelt did during WWII “I don’t want to see a single war millionaire created in the United States as a result of this world disaster”.
Bush said go shopping.
Peace and Liberty through intelligence, strength, and integrity.
