So, in mid-February of this same year, Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein goes on record defending the NSA and their intelligence gathering methods.  These included scooping up data on private phone calls made from citizens without their knowledge, consent, or a warrant.  Feinstein said it was important for the public safety that the government agency be able to continue this practice.

A month later, Feinstein is complaining that the CIA is breaking the law by possibly, POSSIBLY spying on a computer network designed for Congress and their staffers.  She is using the network to dig up dirt on President Bush (still?) and the enhanced interrogation techniques used in what was formerly known as the War on Terror.  (We’ve rebranded it as Man-Made Contingency Operations.)  She claims the CIA is spying on their work and thwarting it where they can.  She is against this type of digital surveillance.

It is fine when the government spies on you.  She’s not so big a fan when it might, MIGHT be happening to her.

This is the same Senator from California who is against private citizens owning those scary black rifles known in the media as “assault rifles”.  Yet her own team of armed body guards practice continually not against a known or perceived terror threat, but against an angry citizen threat.

She is just a classic example of the political elite class who dream up, draft and enact laws the limit your abilities and liberties while exempting themselves from their strictures.
