IDBillzFan Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Gotta admit, with this administration, every week begins like a new box of Cracker Jacks. WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press in what the news cooperative's top executive called a "massive and unprecedented intrusion" into how news organizations gather the news. The records obtained by the Justice Department listed incoming and outgoing calls, and the duration of each call, for the work and personal phone numbers of individual reporters, general AP office numbers in New York, Washington and Hartford, Conn., and the main number for AP reporters in the House of Representatives press gallery, according to attorneys for the AP. In all, the government seized those records for more than 20 separate telephone lines assigned to AP and its journalists in April and May of 2012. The exact number of journalists who used the phone lines during that period is unknown but more than 100 journalists work in the offices whose phone records were targeted on a wide array of stories about government and other matters. http://bigstory.ap.o...e-records-probe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 When something like this happens, I rely on the comments section at HuffPost to gain perspective, and it appears this is all okay because, uhhhh, Patriot Act.

So, uhhh, false alarm everyone. http://www.huffingto..._n_3268569.html How funny is it that these clowns, who were all howling when the Patriot Act was passed, and were all cheering when Micheal Moore said "there is no terrorist threat", suddenly go all Neo-con when their Dear Leader goes after a newspaper due to a leak? Is the AP a terrorist organization now? Well, wawrow does come here and attempt to terrorize us from time to time. His failure is epic and hilarious though.

OCinBuffalo Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) somehow i don't see how you can regard my forays here as epic failures simply because you have a different point of view. oddly enough, i disagree with many of your point yet somehow find it in myself to resist rating your posts. guess i fail, then, at being myopic. jw But, I don't regard them as epic failures simply because you have a different point of view. I regard them as epic failures in part because you typically base them on opinion masquerading as fact, or, as you did here, based on a false assumption. Or, they are just hilariously absurd. But, given all of this? Lighten up Francis, I'm just goofing on you. Or, did I make a false assumption, and you are actually here to terrorize us, thereby making the Justice Department seizure 100% legal? Also, got any inside info on exactly how the Buddy thing went down?

4merper4mer Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Commie fight. Professor commies like Holder are now harassing hippy commies like the reporters at the AP. This puts the hippy commies in a bind as they depend on the professor commies to spoon feed them their work. I wonder which hippy commie stepped out of line and how they did. The part I find funny is that the offending hippy commie probably doesn't even remember what he did wrong due to short term memory loss from smoking too much pot.

PTS Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I always said that as soon as Obama's out of office, the rumblings of mass corruption in his administration would begin. Looks like we don't have to wait that long. This administration is doing their best to keep their tabs on anyone that could potential harm it. That's why they selectively cherry-pick which leaks they go after. You leak a story that makes Obama looks good, no problem. You leak a story that makes him look stupid/bad/corrupt, start running. He's honestly made Nixon look like an amateur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
