Tell Congress To Oppose The Appointment Of General Michael V. Hayden As Director Of The CIA
It has now been widely reported that the NSA has in fact been monitoring virtually every domestic phone call in the US, and they're even spying on reporters. In doing so they had gone out of their way to escape the scrutiny of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court, which the Bush administration has already declared in public it would flagrantly disregard. And yet they are now pushing General Michael V. Hayden, the prime overseer of this vast domestic spying program, to take over the already demoralized CIA as well.
When challenged on this recently General Hayden proclaimed, "Believe me, if there is any amendment to the Constitution that employees of the National Security Agency are familiar with, it's the 4th," after having just denied [Video] that there was any reference to the expression "probable cause" in there to regulate unreasonable searches and seizures.
Even Republican leaders have admitted this warrantless spying program is "clearly and categorically wrong." And it is just as wrong to allow a military takeover of a civilian intelligence agency. Please tell your members of Congress to stop the "wrong wing" takeover of our entire government.
