Domestic Spying: National Applications Office

Just another example of the lengths this "Adminsitration" (read Regime) will go to in order to consolidate it's power and degrade our civil rights.

Domestic Spying, Inc.:

A new intelligence institution to be inaugurated soon by the Bush administration will allow government spying agencies to conduct broad surveillance and reconnaissance inside the United States for the first time. Under a proposal being reviewed by Congress, a National Applications Office (NAO) will be established to coordinate how the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and domestic law enforcement and rescue agencies use imagery and communications intelligence picked up by U.S. spy satellites. If the plan goes forward, the NAO will create the legal mechanism for an unprecedented degree of domestic intelligence gathering that would make the U.S. one of the world's most closely monitored nations. Until now, domestic use of electronic intelligence from spy satellites was limited to scientific agencies with no responsibility for national security or law enforcement.

Sure, they will say it's all about preventing "terrorism" but it's really only a matter of time before that definition is so broad that we'll all be hiding in our houses, afraid to look cross-eyed at our neighbors.
