DU - MSNBC Poll: Do you agree with Bush's Surveillance of Americans?

Surveillance on Americans: Do you agree with the President's actions?

1554 responses
Yes 30%
No 70%

MSNBC Also has a new report up:

Bob Graham denies Cheney told them about Surveillance !!!!!!!

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10509407/

Extent of policy shift disputed
Former senator Bob Graham (D-Fla.), who chaired the Senate intelligence committee and is the only participant thus far to describe the meetings extensively and on the record, said in interviews Friday night and yesterday that he remembers "no discussion about expanding to include conversations of U.S. citizens or conversations that originated or ended in the United States" -- and no mention of the president's intent to bypass the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

"I came out of the room with the full sense that we were dealing with a change in technology but not policy," Graham said, with new opportunities to intercept overseas calls that passed through U.S. switches. He believed eavesdropping would continue to be limited to "calls that initiated outside the United States, had a destination outside the United States but that transferred through a U.S.-based communications system."

Graham said the latest disclosures suggest that the president decided to go "beyond foreign communications to using this as a pretext for listening to U.S. citizens' communications. There was no discussion of anything like that in the meeting with Cheney."

9. What is with that ever present 30%
There they are.

I'd like to see that number get smaller..
hopefully they will wake the f-up
and see how they are being manipulated.

17. Do i agree?
When i first saw him in the 2000 debates, i "knew" that he was the sort of man
who would insert a satellite transciever in to every box of food, and implant
one in every man's shoulder blade, and cut up every last bit of existance to be
sold as a commodity on the white man's market. Slave undress thee, let us read
and listen to all your chatter.

Stand on this platform whilst we check your teeth, your blood, your hair and just
to see if you've imbibed any drugs, slave... as drugged slaves are worth less on
the open market, and the plantation can't be having it.

And for a plantation of slaves, of course the master would have them searched,
monitored and watched.

(muslim means slave) We are become slaves out of ignorance of prosperity.
Prosperity does not have slaves, nor does it empower slavery. That through
the charade of political rulership, we really rather play out a genetic
shakespearean tragedy of king richard III the despot, performance again
again again. And as bush castes his kingdom about for a horse, we slaves
are bypassed, ignored, hated and feared, for we are the power, the emotion
and the blood that runs this earth... not the dickweeed who orders people
spied on, but the regular folks who get a cattle probe stuck up our ass
because we ARE weird people, we ARE radical people and it is our liberty
and our right to have privacy from criminal liars.

25. Gee-a poll that doesn't refer.....
...to 9/11(in the light of 9/11 do you think....). I'm shocked, maybe the meia IS waking up. To paraphrase another poster from yesterday "it is also after the great depression and the disappearence of Amelia Earhart" but the media seldom refer to them as pursuaders....
