Bag's Rants

Well, well, at least they were direct this time.

I had to laugh when I was reading this article on Bush spying on his own people. Shock, Horror! What an ado.

In the meantime the British have been spying on the US for decades and giving the US anything interesting. GCHQ do this service for the US because, until the Patriot Act, it was illegal for the US to do it to themselves without all that legal baloney that gets in the way.

As a reward to GCHQ the US spied on us without due process and supplied our Government with anything interesting.

Fair exchange is no robbery and no laws have been broken by the incumbent Governments.

With a bit of luck this issue could blow things wide open and something is done. It'll take a lot of luck and is unlikely but you never know. After all the US population will be happy that the US spies on everybody else and of course their Government doesn't do the spying on them via this method.

Our Government of course wouldn't spy on us without the proper process. 'Jack, put a tap on this phone number and just keep it between us.' 'OK, Ton.'
