Cheney suppresses justice
by Suzanne
The White House, the Vice President and the Justice Department have until July 18th to comply with the Senate Judiciary Committee's request for information about warrantless surveillance. This is the tenth time the Committee has requested information about the National Security Agency's (NSA) illegal wiretapping from the Bush Administration. The first nine times the Committee did not use it's subpoena power. The tenth time might be the charm and in honor of it the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) created Subpoena Watch. It features a subpoena check list with the suspects, their actions (or lack thereof), and status of subpoena issuances and document delivery. They spearheaded the case against the NSA (ACLU v. NSA). Meanwhile, they have asked public utility companies in 24 states to investigate the phone companies and protect the privacy of millions of Americans.
