Administration Set to Use New Spy Program in U.S. --DHS has not stated what federal laws govern new National Applications Office, whose funding and size are classified. The Bush regime said yesterday that it plans to start using the nation's most advanced spy technology for domestic purposes soon, rebuffing challenges by House Democrats over the idea's legal authority. The administration in May 2007 gave DHS authority to coordinate requests for satellite imagery, radar, electronic-signal information, chemical detection and other monitoring capabilities that have been used for decades within U.S. borders for mapping and disaster response. But Congress delayed launch of the new office last October. Critics cited its potential to expand the role of military assets in domestic law enforcement, to turn new or as-yet-undeveloped technologies against Americans without adequate public debate, and to divert the existing civilian and scientific focus of some satellite work to security uses.

McCain is all talk but his wife wears the pants. Now if he even thought he could stand up to Putin he'd be pushed down and put in his face he would think it was 1950 again. As for confronting China well all China would have to do is withdraw the money and recall the loans given to the US and not even his wife's beer money could save us.
They say stupid people are born all the time well they showed up to the Bush fund raiser. Maybe that was 2 per cent of the kick back these folks got from the US taxpayers during the years the White House had open stealing.
