Military Is Expanding Its Intelligence Role in U.S.

The New York Times reports:

The Pentagon has been using a little-known power to obtain banking and credit records of hundreds of Americans and others suspected of terrorism or espionage inside the United States, part of an aggressive expansion by the military into domestic intelligence gathering.

The C.I.A. has also been issuing what are known as national security letters to gain access to financial records from American companies, though it has done so only rarely, intelligence officials say.

The government that's big enough to give you Social Security,Medicare,students loans,farm loans,and energy assistance:is certainly big enough to "watch" you.You can't have privacy and liberty with big activist government.
