   No, No, NO. Not the CIA.  Not DDI.  The NSA.  (W has them reading all our   
   communications  - without warrants, which the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance   
   Act punishes on conviction with a 5 year prison sentence.  In other words, he   
   has committed an impeachable offense.)   
   Read Bamford, "Body of Secrets".  The NSA is using computers capable of   
   extracting from the enormous flow of audio communications (in virtually any   
   language) as well as digital commuications, those which contain certain words,   
   e.g., assassinate, president, etc.  You can probably make the NSA watch list   
   just by having a test phone conversation in which you use enough sensitive   
   words.  Think of it, be the George Carlin of the electronic era - publish a   
   monologue on Seven 'Dirty War' Words.  Maybe in place of "fuck", we now have   
   "hijack" [and always remember to be careful greeting friends at airports].   
   Maybe "Allah" gets the No. 2 spot on the banned word parade.   
      
   Sorry. I know it is off-topic, but it just poured out.  Forgive me, oh most   
   glorious, all-seeing, all-hearing and all-powerful Homeland Security, three   
   persons in one godhead. Thy angels are everywhere, dancing on the heads of   
   intercept nodes.  Thou hearest our prayers and our curses, our lover's quarrels   
   and our business plans.  Thou art truly my Big Brother.
