We Spied on Diana. I Demand Hearings!

[SDW2001]

OK, so I can't resist. I just can't. It looks like the Clinton Administration was involved in illegal wiretapping of Princess Diana.

I demand hearings! I demand investigations! When did Clinton know and when did he know it!? They didn't even get permission from the UK Government! It wasn't even terror-related!

Countdown to Kool-Aid drinkers defending this action while slamming the NSA program has now begun

10.....9......8.......

Diana was a most unpopular figure with the (US and European) arms manufacturing industry:she was the world's most 'visible" woman, and she was heavily involved with the global movement to ban anti-personnel and other types of landmines: landmines are of little military use, and the huge majority of people who are maimed and killed by these weapons are civilians. Her actions in spreading awareness of the effects of these types of weapons was extremely bad PR for a number of corporations which are not only household names, but also profit handsomely from the trade in those types of weapons.

Diana was just one of many people trying do something decent and moral in an uncaring world on behalf of civilized values and humanity, who end up being targeted by those who don't give a flying fvck about anything other than power and profit margins.

It's hardly surprising that she was "spied upon". Business as usual.... Clinton, Bush, whatever..

:(

You can tell there's a possibility of Clinton involvement in a scandal, when you see SDW2001 acting like a giddy schoolgirl.

Well, yes! Because the possibility that intelligence agencies violated the privacy of a British royal is exactly the same thing as a broad secret program of wiretaps and monitoring of anybody the President deems of interest without any supervision outside of the executive whatsoever!

And not admitting it is drinking the kool-aid!

Because I come from the land of bullshit equivalency!

And you know it!

Who cares? She wasn't an American citizen.

Who cares? She wasn't an American citizen.

Well, not only do I resent the US spying on people who don't need to be spied on, but the fact that she was British means that US taxpayer money ie. our money, out of our pockets, was used to spy on a non-threatening foreigner.

[dmz]

Are you guys trying to tell me that our country spied on foreign countries and the people who live there?

Shocking, just shocking.

[Northgate]

Hello? NOT American.

Domestic, meet Foreign. Foreign, meet Domestic.

If true, despicable and stupid. What in the world could be so important about Princess Di? Did we bug the teletubbies too, while we were over there? Maybe we should have been following bin Laden around rather than frickin Princess Barbie. Maybe?

BRussell, **ehem** do you not see? Anyone at the CIA/NSA with a supscription to People or the The Sun are the culprits, who wouldn't want to spy on DI -- camera, audio -- they probably do that sort of thing for fun on the weekends. ;)

[SpamSandwich]

You folks do realize it was under Clinton's watch?

From the linked article, apparently the spooks were interested in the billionaire financier Teddy Forstmann, whom Diana was seeing.

The article doesn't have anything to say about why the US government would have an interest in Mr. Forstmann, and his Wikipedia entry makes him sound like a pretty straightforward wealthy guy with investment smarts, so who knows.

Aaah, the heady days of the Clinton presidency.

Those were the days when, even though the US has always toppled the odd democracy or invaded the odd island, the rest of the world was able to squint, and see life like the Americans. In that world, the US is nothing but the protector of democracy and global freedom. America is beyond reproach. Everything is done for a good reason and America has the world's interest at heart.

We can't do that any more.

That summarizes it beautifully.

Hey...just having some fun. :)

[Relic]

Yeah and? Every president, I mean every president in the history of the USA was the same, period! They followed the agenda as dictated by the Illuminati or some other shadow entity that got them elected, they do their bidding. You don't become master of any domain because you have a dream or some special society changing idea. Look at our current hero of democracy, Bush, he started out as a lame duck and is going to end his career as a dead duck. They're all the same, 350,000,000 + Americans and we always vote for the worst candidate for America, ALWAYS! Looky Ma them FOX TV fellers think Bush is right for our kind and folks.

Anyway, now that we know (http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=ZTZlODYxYzYxMmU4YTg0NWM5NGM5NGRiZWMwNTRkMzU=) that the whole thing was bullshit (but most assuredly not before the whole right wing blog-o-sphere and handmaidens got really, really excited-- funny how that keeps happening), isn't it time to demand hearings on the tragic case of the Poster Who Was Wrong About Everything All The Time?

For the children, of course.

Or maybe I was just having some fun. But no...you couldn't believe that. In your mind, SDW really wanted hearings and was actually outraged. Go ahead and believe that...ignorance is bliss, after all.
