Bolton and the NSA

There's a new twist on the NSA spying on Americans story. Over at TPM Cafe, Larry Johnson reminds us that:

"During the confirmation hearings of John Bolton as the U.S. representative to the United Nations, it came to light that the NSA had freely revealed intercepted conversations of U.S. citizens to Bolton while he served at the State Department. . . . More generally, Newsweek reports that from January 2004 to May 2005, the NSA supplied intercepts and names of 10,000 U.S. citizens to policy-makers at many departments, other U.S. intelligence services, and law enforcement agencies."

It has long been suspected that Bolton was looking for dirt to use against his political "enemies" when he sought this information, which just seems to confirm what I suggested earlier; i.e., that Bush may well be using this spying operation against his political, not his terrorist, enemies. This administration has no respect whatever for any law that governs it. It makes me so angry I could screem -- which, by the way, I have done more than once since the idiot became president.
