Domestic Spying

Were you aware that GW and Friends began planning the domestic spying program with the telecoms as soon as he was elected and implemented it early in 2001. I didn't know this.
Were you aware that when Qwest refused to participate in the program and turn over customer records because their lawyers told them it was illegal, GW and Friends reneged on promised contracts causing the company to tank later in the year. I didn't know this.
Were you aware that GW and Friends got the justice department to prosecute the CEO of Quest for insider trading after he sold stock options that were due to expire early in 2001, because he continued to speak positively about the prospects of the company before it tanked because of the reneged contracts. He was unable to present any of this information about the contracts and domestic spying at his trial because it was suppressed as classified information. I didn't know this.
I think what we all don't know about this administration is mind boggling.
