House Narrowly Defeats Measure to Curb NSA Spying
The final vote was 217 to 205, closer than expected. On the eve of the
vote, the Obama administration deployed a lobbying effort to reject the
bill, sending NSA director Keith Alexander to
meet with lawmakers. In a separate vote, the House also rejected a
measure that would have blocked funding for perpetual war under the 2001
act authorizing the so-called war on terror.
This is a major push back against the virtual unlimited funds being given to the military industrial complex post 911.
Well put phoenix. It's difficult to believe that this is the "Yes-We-Can" Obama! - Piers
ReplyDeleteAfter the euphoria of a new president from a minority, we gradually realise, its just a new puppet for the military industrial complex, carrying on the same agenda as the Bush regime.
ReplyDeleteWe need to challenge the need for perpetual war,where there is an invisible enemy we can never fully defeat,and our civil rights being removed to protect our liberty.???????
