EFF Sues NSA, President Bush, and VP Cheney

VisualE writes "The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) will file a lawsuit against the National Security Agency (NSA) and other government agencies today on behalf of AT&T customers to stop the illegal, unconstitutional, and ongoing dragnet surveillance of their communications and communications records. The five individual plaintiffs are also suing President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Cheney's chief of staff David Addington, former Attorney General and White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales and other individuals who ordered or participated in the warrantless domestic surveillance."

NSA Press Conference: We have decided to take over the EFF in hopes that their participation with our goals will aid in furthering the United States' interests in National Security. We have assessed their allegations and decided that they were unwarranted and unfounded. Thank you for all your cooperation and we appreciate all the help from the leaders of the EFF.

Very presumptuous of you, you assume I'm a boy, you assume I don't leave the house, you assume the people I talk to haven't heard of the EFF, you assume the people I talk to either do not know what open source is or the knowledge is prerequisite to knowing the EFF exists and what they do, and worst of all, you assumed I don't already have a tan!

[bill_mcgonigle]

If we did this, where could we banish Bush?

Well, that's so astoundingly obvious I'm surprised you needed to ask the question.

Re:Alternate title..

Bush doesn't have a monopoly on bad decisions.

Ha! Sure ain't for lack of trying.
