Should Americans trust govt officials with compromise and evasion of the US
Constitution!
On NBC's 'Meet The Press' this Sunday morning, the current FBI Director says
that since 'we' are at 'war' Americans must 'permit' some 'compromise' of
their constitutional rights; though 'Congress' has NOT 'declared war' or
issued 'letters of marque and reprisal' as Art 1 Sec 8 of the US
Constitution spells out, to keep govt accountable to the people via public
scrutiny.
Since America's Constitution does make that provision for an HONEST govt
response to 911, it is NOT a 'suicide pact' as claimed by some of those who
advocate its compromise and evasion.

Creator/maintainer of www.constitution.org says this to media:
FBI snooping nothing new
News reports that the FBI has, until recent policy changes, been
forbidden to investigate citizens without a crime having been
committed and headquarters approval, are misleading, and should be
challenged by competent journalists. Such policies might nominally
apply to the direct activities of FBI agents, but have never been
scrupulously enforced, and they have not revented the agents from
fielding an army of contractors, either members of other agencies,
or "confidential informants", to do the work for them. The FBI not
only gets more information that way than they can handle, but
deniability when their contractors engage in illegal practices, such
as perjury, planting of evidence, burglary, and other abuses of
civil liberties.
All of this has been well-documented by the writings and testimony
of former FBI agents. There are even indications of this kind of
activity on their own web site.
The duty of the press is to question such posturing and public
relations *tergiversation, and conduct their own investigations.
