- Wal-Mart's paranoid spying operation
  Posted by SoxFirst
  Wal-Mart can't take a trick. The world's biggest retailer seems to lurch from one screw-up to another. Now the New York City comptroller's office is demanding that the Justice Department and Securities and Exchange Commission investigate the company for illegally spying on its shareholders and critics.

  Posted by Jon from New York Times
  This really disturbs me. There are extremely good reasons why we don't let the military do domestic law enforcement, and it appears that Bush is intent on breaking that down.

- Who Told House Intel Chair What the White House Wouldn't?
  Posted by Jeff from Tpmmuckraker
  I called Tice over the weekend, but he hasn't called me back. Of course, the stakes for him are high -- as CongressDaily's Chris Strohm wrote in May, "Tice would not discuss. . . the details of his allegations, saying doing so would compromise classified information and put him at risk of going to jail." He would say only that "It's an angle that you haven't heard about yet."

- U.S. opens assault on wiretap suit / AT&T is accused of aiding surveillance
  Posted by Damianmann from SFGate.com
  The Bush administration has launched a multipronged attack on a lawsuit that accuses AT&T of collaborating with the U.S. government in illegal electronic surveillance, arguing that customers can't prove their phones were tapped or that the company or the government broke the law -- and that, in any event, the entire case endangers national security.

- Most Americans Support NSA's Efforts
  Posted by Damianmann from Washington Post
  The new survey found that 63 percent of Americans said they found the NSA program to be an acceptable way to investigate terrorism, including 44 percent who strongly endorsed the effort. Another 35 percent said the program was unacceptable, which included 24 percent who strongly objected to it. When The Washington Post says it, it must be true...he said sarcastically.
