Tuesday Should Be A Big News Day
There should be a lot to talk about on Tuesday.
The Washington Post reports on the FBI’s spying on domestic organizations:
FBI counterterrorism investigators are monitoring domestic U.S. advocacy groups engaged in antiwar, environmental, civil rights and other causes, the American Civil Liberties Union charged yesterday as it released new FBI records that it said detail the extent of the activity.
Newsweek shows that Bush is a crook, or as they call it, a law-breaker:
No wonder Bush was so desperate that The New York Times not publish its story on the National Security Agency eavesdropping on American citizens without a warrant, in what lawyers outside the administration say is a clear violation of the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. I learned this week that on December 6, Bush summoned Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger and executive editor Bill Keller to the Oval Office in a futile attempt to talk them out of running the story. The Times will not comment on the meeting,
but one can only imagine the president’s desperation.The problem was not that the disclosures would compromise national security, as Bush claimed at his press conference. . .No, Bush was desperate to keep the Times from running this important story—which the paper had already inexplicably held for a year—because he knew that it would reveal him as a law-breaker.
Plus, Raw Story reports that the Congressional Democrats will be releasing a report entitled, “The Constitution in Crisis: The Downing Street Minutes and Deception, Manipulation, Torture, Retribution and Coverups in the Iraq War.” If this isn’t enough, there is also expected to be a ruling in the Dover case on teaching intelligent design.
