Third Time reporter, named in filings, says he has not testified in case
A series of striking revelations have emerged after the release of dozens of pages of court files in the CIA leak investigation that have gone unnoticed by the mainstream media, RAW STORY has found.
Some of them have been uncovered by astute bloggers including the fact that the outed agents husband will not testify at a trial, and that a third Time reporter has been fingered as having information potentially relevant to some aspects of the case.

If you have found little to laugh about over President Bush's domestic spying program, well, it's your lucky day.We here at ProgressTV decided to have some fun. So, we produced a little video for your enjoyment.
However, illegal spying on U.S. citizens is not funny.That is why we are asking everyone across the nation to sign the "No-Spy" list.
If you don't want the government eavesdropping on your phone calls, emails, and internet searches, Sign the No-Spy List

"Contrary to popular belief, there is no absolute ban on [military] intelligence components collecting U.S. person information," the U.S.Armys top intelligence officer said in a 2001 memo that surfaced Tuesday.
Not only that, military intelligence agencies are permitted to "receive" domestic intelligence information, even though they cannot legally "collect" it," according to the Nov. 5, 2001, memo issued by Lt. Gen. Robert W. Noonan Jr., the deputy chief of staff for intelligence.

If the president does not call an immediate end to this illegal spying, Congress must hold thorough hearings. The Justice Department must also appoint a special counsel to investigate the breadth and legality of the NSA spying program.

The Bush Administration opposed legislation that would have given them the very power they now claim they needed, power they now claim they didn't have under FISA. It's because they didn't have this power, they now claim, that they had to break the law and spy without a warrant. But this law would have given them much of the legal power they wanted. Yet they said they didn't need it, and worse yet, that the proposed legislation was likely unconstitutional. But now we know they did it anyway.
And it was all discovered by a blogger, and now it's a big story in Thursday's Washington Post and LA Times. Amazing.

In his 10/17/02 testimony, he told a committee investigating the 9/11 attacks that any surveillance of persons in the United States was done consistent with FISA.
At the time of his statements, Hayden was fully aware of the presidential order to conduct warrantless domestic spying issued the previous year.

When President Bush secretly authorized the National Security Agency to spy on Americans, he violated the law, the Constitution and his oath of office.
No American is beneath the law's protection. And no one -- not even a U.S. president -- is above the law's limits.
Our system of checks and balances must be maintained if American democracy is to be preserved. Take action

The ACLU of Georgia released copies of government files on Wednesday that illustrate the extent to which the FBI, the DeKalb County Division of Homeland Security and other government agencies have gone to compile information on Georgians suspected of being threats simply for expressing controversial opinions.
Two documents relating to anti-war and anti-government protests, and a vegan rally, prove the agencies have been "spying" on Georgia residents unconstitutionally, the ACLU said.
