[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 384305, member: 9859"] The Victim AV8, is all of us, every american citizen you meet and greet, from your Uncle Fester to your Aunt Jamina. History does have a tendencey to repeat itself. Imagine White House operatives were caught illegally wiretapping Democratic National Committee headquarters during the coming Presidential election. That according to the head of the DNC, those listening in had overheard the conversations of every prominent Democrat in America. Imagine White House operatives with the help of current and former U.S. intelligence agency personnel conducted illegal break-ins, illegal wiretapping, and illegal espionage against ordinary citizens, journalists, Democratic Party candidates, and even members of its own administration for the purposes of political dominance and electoral victory. Now imagine the President justified it all and sought to conceal its existence with a claim of national security and executive privilege. It was called Watergate, and it may be more relevant today than it has been at any time since Cheney's ex-boss Nixon resigned the presidency in disgrace more than 30 years ago. In the end, all eyes must return to Nixon. If the Nixon administration now occupied the White House, with access to modern day surveillance technology, what does history tell us about its probable course of action during the coming election? How might that group of men go about leveraging government spy power against opposition party candidates? How are we to safeguard our democracy against the hand of unchecked politically-motivated surveillance? [/QUOTE]
