congratulations for a job well done [Reply]

At a time when the New York Times and other newspapers are _attacked_ (!) by lawmakers for doing an excellent job (revealing the unconstitutional global SWIFT spying), every bit of true journalism counts and your article definitely was.
Keep up doing what you do, watching, thinking, reporting.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Felix Guenter

Unconstitutional? [Reply]

The SWIFT monitoring program is international. SWIFT is based in Belgium.

Our Constitution doesn't apply to the program.

Please post your address and I'll mail you a high school civics text so you can brush up on your understanding of how our founding documents work.

Michael Gannon [Reply]

And then Christopher King got ahold of it, spoke with Mr. Gannon -- who lives on the same street as Mr. King's friend. Mr. King is a wrongly-accused felon himself, but his case has not been covered lately in the Telegraph.

Mr. King spoke with Mr. Gannon, who appreciates Mr. King's blawg coverage, indeed, in part because Mr. King makes video about bad police and other government officials, you bet.
