I don't think there's any doubt that this is the case.  The question to me is when did it get ramped up to be used for political ends?

while i'm sure there was spying going on, i don't believe they had the capabilities to surveil to those extents back then. certainly not the ones afforded by the cover of the Patriot Act.

wrong Bush

 

the 1st Bush, former head of the CIA, started spying on a massive scale

However, it was illegal and behind the scenes

 

The Patriot Act under Bush 2 legalized it, for the good of the country

I'll keep repeating this because it gets lost in the conversations. PATRIOT created very few NEW authorities for the Feds.  All it did was consolidate existing rules spread out over dozens of laws & regulations into a single huge act.

Bullschiff... Spying inside the government can go back at least to the days (and there were a lot of them) of J Edgar Hoover.
