Did the Clinton Administration Engage in “Domestic Spying” Against Princess Diana ?

Hillary.


I'm sure she had a dossier on Lady Di.

[SirLinksalot]

If this is true, then we have a warped sense of priorities. Instead of spying on terrorists and regimes with potential WMD programs, we waste our resources on inane things like these....

[2harddrive]

Apparently by this time, Bill was bored with Monica.....and Princess Di was much cuter.

[SirLinksalot]

A horrible thought just struck me... what if Diana's boyfriend -- Dodi, an Egyptian, was an agent for the enemy ?

SCRAP THAT ... too many James Bond films :)

[Gondring]

So...was Clinton wrong to fail to get a warrant...? If so, then there goes Bush's excuse.

“Domestic Spying”

Bill wanted nude pictures of the maid...

[BurbankKarl]

"While Clinton was spying on Di....Atta was learning to fly"

If Osama Was A Piece of Ass
Clinton Would Have Nailed Him

[PISANO]

Let's get one thing straight. Even if Clinton had his administration spy on Diana, it doesn't matter and this is old news, and if it did matter, we are talking about the CLINTON administration and they have an AUTOMATIC PASS for things like this.

You can't hold X42 responsible for anything on the negative side of the ledger because, after all, he can't even decide on the definition of "IS".

So move on.....nothing here and besides it is BUSH's fault!!

[ErnBatavia]

And here, in living color....!

[Dr Snide]

Its pretty clear that Clinton wasn't spying on Di but rather spying on Forstman (who was a Republican donor by the way), Can you imagine the outrage if Bush was found spying on Democratic fund raisers.

I think there is a tad difference in Princess Diane and Al-Qaeda and we weren't fighting a War on Terror at the time.

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

Upon the death of the Princess of Wales in August
1997, the press noted in passing that Adnan Khassoghi
is the brother-in-law of Mohamed Al-Fayed, an Egyptian
intelligence operative ... also a business partner of
one El-Amira Atta, the father of the accused airline
hijacker. Fayed was a veteran of our little American
Pinay Circle.

Intelligence
sources in France and Israel have revealed that
evidence in their possession places Al-Fayed as a
member of a group of wealthy Arabs living in the
United Kingdom who have been engaged in the
clandestine funding of Hamas, Al Qaeda, and more
recently, the Al-Aksa Martyrs Brigade."
UK's Sunday Telegraph ran the story but was forced to
retract when it was flatly denied by Mohammed
Al-Fayed, who claimed that the newspaper had a
"vendetta" against him.
If the story is true, then Al-Fayed is allied with
terrorists on both sides of the Patriot Act, like his
brother-in-law.

See, it's only improper if Republicans do it.

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

Dodi, an Egyptian, was an agent for the enemy ?

bingo....daddy not dodi......plenty of reason to listen in, tho.....see post 14......more details at the link worth reading

[liberty_lvr]

Ummm...correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Dims gleefully run a Republican president out of office over this very thing??

(With the help of a certain current NY Senator??)

Its pretty clear that Clinton wasn't spying on Di but rather spying on Forstman (who was a Republican donor by the way), Can you imagine the outrage if Bush was found spying on Democratic fund raisers.

Bingo!

Now, how many OTHER repubbie fund-raisers were spied upon? When? What turned them off, or perverted THEIR interests when Hillary found out who was donating to the republican party?

[HelenChicago]

Exactly right re: Forstmann. Di had mentioned to
several friends her dream of marrying a wealthy
American with political ambitions and returning
to England as First Lady.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Bush was found spying on Democratic fund raisers.

He is, which is why the Dems have been crying about his terrorist surveillance program.
