Carter and Cliton Administrations Secret search 'n surveillance -- WITHOUT COURT ORDER
http://www.drudgereport.com/flash8.htm
Bill Clinton Signed Executive Order that allowed Attorney General to do searches without court approval Clinton, February 9, 1995: "The Attorney General is authorized to approve physical searches, without a court order" WASH POST, July 15, 1994: Extend not only to searches of the homes of U.S. citizens but also -- in the delicate words of a Justice Department official -- to "places where you wouldn't find or would be unlikely to find information involving a U.S. citizen... would allow the government to use classified electronic surveillance techniques, such as infrared sensors to observe people inside their homes, without a court order." Deputy Attorney General Jamie S. Gorelick, the Clinton administration believes the president "has inherent authority to conduct warrantless searches for foreign intelligence purposes." Secret searches and wiretaps of Aldrich Ames's office and home in June and October 1993, both without a federal warrant. Government officials decided in the Ames case that no warrant was required because the searches were conducted for "foreign intelligence purposes," a goal of such vital national security interest that they said it justified extraordinary police powers. Government lawyers have used this principle to justify other secret searches by U.S. authorities Jimmy Carter Signed Executive Order on May 23, 1979: "Attorney General is authorized to approve electronic surveillance to acquire foreign intelligence information without a court order." ------------------------------------------------------------- And this wasn't even in a time of WAR !!!!! I wonder why this wasn't in the time artical??? |

It was hysterical |

I noticed that the Clinton and Carter story is not reported in the
mainstream news, but the original story has almost died out completly. |

I have no problem with the POTUS spying on less than 1000 people in a
country of 200,000,000 in a time of war. |

Easier explanation: Have you listened to any interviews with people who were trying to explain whether the activity was legal or not? It seems to be almost impossible, and I'm beginning to wonder if that's intentional. I wonder if politicians who vote "yes" for this type of thing actually understand what they're approving. |
