Keith Olberman deserves some credit for reporting on this. The rest of the media has been completely mute. You would have to ask yourself, if this administration is not held accountable for their criminal behavior, we are done as a contitutional republic. God Bless Dennis Kucinich...a true hero and a patriot. Of course he was dismissed from the Presidential Contest, along with Ron Paul. Wake Up America - you've been had!

If we Impeach, then Bush can not pardon Cheney and the war criminals on the way out.

Executive order limits release of presidential documents. The order gives incumbent presidents the right to veto requests to open any past presidential records and supercedes the congressionally passed law of 1978 mandating release of all presidential records not explicitly deemed classified.

The act also calls for expanded use of National Security Letters (NSLs), which allow the FBI to search telephone, email and financial records of US citizens without a court order, exempts the government from needing to reveal how evidence against suspected terrorists was obtained and authorizes indefinite detention of immigrants at the discretion of law enforcement and immigration authorities.

2001: October

The USA Patriot Act becomes law. Among other things the law: makes it a crime for anyone to contribute money or material support for any group on the State Department's Terror Watch List, allows the FBI to monitor and tape conversations between attorneys and clients, allows the FBI to order librarians to turn over information about patron's reading habits, allows the government to conduct surveillance on internet and email use of US citizens without notice.

Call or Write to your state reps.Dennis Kucinich needs more cosponsors before the matter will be heard in the judiciary committee.Otherwise, it will just be shelved.Current cosonsors are at 6 in number.

He seems to have made a case.

I think we need another system of checks in the federal government, the popular vote of the people.
