Majority of Americans don't want Bush/GOP spying on them |
Angus Reid Global Scan : Polls & Research
Americans Reject Phone, E-Mail Surveillance
September 10, 2006
- Many adults in the United States are not willing to allow government
agencies to regularly monitor their telephone calls and e-mails,
according to a poll by CBS News. 59 per cent of respondents reject the idea.
Last December, U.S. president George W. Bush defended a secret domestic
electronic surveillance program that includes the wiretapping of the
telephone calls and e-mails of Americans suspected of having terrorist
ties. The president’s remarks came in response to media reports that,
since 2002, Bush has authorized the National Security Agency (NSA) to
operate this program without any judicial oversight.

Americans no doubt support surveillance of suspected terrorists, but
they don't support Bush and the GOP's no oversight, neo-fascist
surveillance which would include surveillance of their political
opponents and anyone they deem as a threat to their hold on power.

That 6 in 10 Americans "reject the idea" of Bush invading their privacy is
not really news here.
That 4 in 10 Americans don't find the idea horrifying means that the
United States of America is in an advanced state of decline.

For every 40 things you do,
it is human nature to blame you
for the 1 thing you did wrong and
yell about it, and to overlook
the 39 things you did right and
praise you for them.

IMO we've had almost 6 yrs of rapid decline with 20 yrs of slow to
moderate before that.
