Spurred by paranoia and aided by the USA Patriot Act, the Bush Administration has compiled dossiers on more than 10,000 Americans it considers political enemies and uses those files to wage war on those who disagree with its policies.
The “enemies list” dates back to Bush’s days as governor of Texas and can be accessed by senior administration officials in an instant for use in campaigns to discredit those who speak out against administration policies or acts of the President.
The computerized files include intimate personal details on members of Congress; high-ranking local, state and federal officials; prominent media figures and ordinary citizens who may, at one time or another, have spoken out against the President or Administration.
Paranoid much? This next part is interesting.
“How is that you think Karl (Rove) and Scooter (Libby) were able to disseminate so much information on Joe Wilson and his wife,” says one White House aide. “They didn’t have that information by accident. They had it because they have files on those who might hurt them.”
Ooooh now that is some fascinating news! So! Who knew about Valerie Plame? Well who had access to that list?
And you joke...when the truth is some very normal people are on the lists....moms, dads, school teachers, writers, and peace activists....Hitler had lists...all great Dictators have lists....And what they DO with the lists determines What happens to this country.....
