This may interest you Spirit--- ______________________________ Wednesday, January 04, 2006 What it means to John Kerry, Wesley Clark, and Bill Clinton if Bush wiretapped CNN's Christiane Amanpour by John in DC - 1/04/2006 03:23:00 PM As reported below, NBC's Andrea Mitchell - based on some information she clearly hasn't yet made public - is asking if Bush specifically wiretapped CNN's Christiane Amanpour. The fact that the question was asked so publicly and so specifically means that Mitchell knows something. Why would Bush do this? Because, as I reported a few weeks ago, journalists have some of the best contacts out there and it's not unusual for journalists to talk to both sides of the story, or in this case, the good guys and the "evil doers." What a better, if not illegal, way to find the terrorists and their associates? But before you say "yeah, go for it," consider the implications of tapping Christiane Amanpour's phones: 1. Such a wiretap would likely include her home, office, and cell phones, and email correspondence, at the very least. 2. That means anyone Christiane has conversed with in the past four years, at least by phone or email, could have had their conversation taped by the US government. 3. That also means that anyone who uses any of Christiane's telephones or computers (work or home) could also have had their conversation bugged. 4. This includes Christiane's husband, former Clinton administration senior official Jamie Rubin, who was spokesman for the State Department. 5. Jamie Rubin was also chief foreign policy adviser to General Wesley Clark's presidential campaign, and then worked as a senior national security adviser to John Kerry's presidential campaign. 6. Did Jamie Rubin ever use his home phone, his wife's work phone, his wife's cell phone, her home computer or her work computer to communicate with John Kerry or Wesley Clark? If so, those conversations would have been bugged if Bush was tapping Amanpour. 7. Did Jamie Rubin ever in the past four years communicate with any elected officials in Washington, DC - any Senators or members of the US House? Any senior members of the Democratic party? 8. Has Rubin spoken with Bill Clinton, his former boss, in the past 4 years? Now you understand how potentially broad a violation of privacy the Bush doctrine on illegal domestic spying really is. Everyone who's anyone is a degree or two of separation away from a terrorist. americablog.blogspot.com
