All's fair in love and war (politics).

[steve50]

Reeks of Watergate. If true it should have the same result.

[Eala]

Why would any political party want to bug someone else? It's a juicy way of running a smear campaign behind the works. We have been doing that for about 50 years and it started with president Roosevelt.

And was never a story until now. Hmmmmmmm.....

[Agent Smith]

This is NEWS? I guess it maybe, if you have been living under a rock for a few decades. I am sure that all of Klintoon's phone sex with Monica L. is on a secure hard drive in England. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

CONTINUING ( I am typing this from TIVO, so these are word for word )

JOHN: " American computers record every long distance phone call everywhere in America all day. Targeting means that they sift through that haystack to find the needle. They program it to search for a democratic candidate's voice and retrieve all conversations. The British foreign liaison information cannot be shared with congress, because of the 1943 law. So the democrats don't know that the British are listening to all of their phone calls. They old spy base used to be at 218 Pennsylvania Ave, and it was moved to the Canadian Embassy right opposite of Capitol Hill. Because on the west side of the capitol are where all the offices are with views of the Washington Monument. "

ERIC: " We hear about all this spying and alleged spying and I am sure that we will be hearing about more "..

Interesting timeing ?

Members of the Security Council

It must be the sh!t detail to have to filter thru the uns "intelligence"

[mabelkitty]

This may have more to do with foreign funds coming in from overseas via Great Britain.

I'd like to hear more.

Next Scandal? :

I was just watching an interview on Fox News and this journalist was on a segment which they call "The Scoop" with Eric Shaun. Anyway, the man he was interviewing said he was going to break a story this week that the Republican Party is having the United Kingdom bug/tap phones at the DNC and their candidates. Apparently there is a loophole that allows the UK to do it for us and for us to do it for him but he is going to spread out more evidence that this is going on right now.

I expect this to become the next media feeding fenzy.

Anything to avoid the Kerry story...?

[cripplecreek]

Some seem to be getting awfully excited about a rumor.

[dirtboy]

Here's my take on what the "logic" of this story will be:

Echelon in the UK monitors all US calls.

The DNC makes phone calls in the US.

Therefore, Echelon is monitoring the DNC.

The White House has access to Echelon intercepts.

The White House is run by a GOP president.

Therefore, the GOP is telling the UK to bug the DNC.

Whereas, the reality is that this stuff has been going on for decades, and is independent of the GOP and the Dems, other than our reps keep allowing it to happen.

Please wake me when this election is over.

This shyster is trolling for publicity!

LOL! Yeah they sent George H. Bush over on a secret CIA plane to arrange the recordings.

"Even though there is no credible evidence, these charges are so serious they must be investigated! ...Too!" _{TM DNCFAX}

[OldFriend]

First of all Loftus is a democrat.

Loftus is suing Saudi Arabia on behalf of some WTC victims. Therefore, every trail he finds always leads to Saudi Arabia.

He is often incorrect in his pronouncements.

[DainBramage]

I thought most of the British Secret Service has assylum in Russia.

[Peach]

Apologies - two threads - two different Freepers.

[elimination]

John Loftus serves on a pro-muslim board and from reading his website, he is not very pro-Bush.

[mewzilla]

If this is true, it had better be because the people involved are suspected of treason. If it isn't true, then FNC better bloody well find out who started this smear and why. And doesn't this qualify as a rumor, anyway? Didn't FNC just get through making perfectly clear on its Sunday show that FNC is not in the business of investigating rumor?

[sinkspur]

Sounds like conspiracy bullshit, to me.
