Her husband Jamie Rueben worked for Kerry so was the Kerry campaign the actual target?

6. Wiretapping Kerry AND being fed via wireless during the "debates"
They had to ensure total victory by whatever means possible.

9. I'm hoping there is a revelation about wiretapping Kerry.
For me, that would be the breaking point where we will know if our government will hold itself accountable or not. If it comes out, and nothing comes of it, I fear for what's next.....

10. Well...
Edited on Thu Jan-05-06 12:00 PM by Boo Boo
I suppose that could be, but I think a more likely scenario would be that Amanpour, in the course of her reporting, had contact with somebody who was in some way or another linked to al Qaeda or the Iraqi insurgency, and that she then came under surveillance because, as Bush put it, "we'd like to know what the enemy is thinking."

Now, once you're tapping Amanpour's phone, and scooping up other signal intelligence related to her communications, then it's quite possible (likely, I'd think) that the raw data collected by the NSA would include conversations related to her husband's work.

Did partisans in the Bush Admin get access to that data? Or, was that sort of thing screened out before the information was passed along to whomever. It's an interesting question, and I get the feeling we're gonna be finding out before this is over.

11. Yes--if this is true, then all their excuse-making about terror
will be shown to be a cover up--as I suspected, personal and venal reasons drove Bush to break the law, not zeal to do his duty to the country.

Look at history, freeps--your guys are dirty by nature, admit it.
