Believe me, if she ever got the chance she would use every tool in the intelligence arsenal to squelch dissent here in the U. S.!
After all -- it would be for the "common good".

2008 presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton said Thursday that she was "deeply disturbed" to learn that the National Security Agency was data-mining phone records to track down terrorists.
"Like many Americans, I am deeply disturbed" over the NSA program, she said in a statement posted to her Senate web site.
"We all deserve to know why the NSA has blocked the Department of Justice from investigating the NSA’s domestic surveillance program and why it has created an enormous database of Americans’ phone records," she complained.
Mrs. Clinton suggested that using phone records to track down terrorists was unconstitutional, saying the latest NSA revelations "further demonstrate what happens to our Constitution, laws, and privacy when there is no meaningful congressional oversight of the president’s actions.
She urged Congress to "get the bottom of this." "I join my colleagues on both sides of the aisle in demanding answers about the NSA’s domestic surveillance program and the NSA’s use of Americans’ phone records. We must defend our homeland while also defending our Constitution, laws, and privacy."
Hmm...I wonder why she doesn't want anyone looking in her phone records.
Finally, the truth.
May 27, 1999 (Clinton era).... Lawmakers Raise Questions About International Spy Network
n international surveillance network established by the National Security Agency and British intelligence services has come under scrutiny in recent weeks, as lawmakers in the United States question whether the network, known as Echelon, could be used to monitor American citizens. Last week, the House Committee on Intelligence requested that the National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency provide a detailed report to Congress explaining what legal standards they use to monitor the conversations, transmissions and activities of American citizens.
(snip)
The finished report will outline the legal bases and other criteria used by United States intelligence agencies when assessing potential wiretap targets. It will be submitted to the House and made available to the public.

According to the report, Echelon is just one of the many code names for the monitoring system, which consists of satellite interception stations in participating countries. The stations collectively monitor millions of voice and data messages each day. These messages are then scanned and checked against certain key criteria held in a computer system called the "Dictionary." In the case of voice communications, the criteria could include a suspected criminal's telephone number; with respect to data communications, the messages might be scanned for certain keywords, like "bomb" or "drugs." The report also alleges that Echelon is capable of monitoring terrestrial Internet traffic through interception nodes placed on deep-sea communications cables.
That's funny. Coming from someone who stole over 900 FBI files to blackmail her opponents.
"Hmm...I wonder why she doesn't want anyone looking in her phone records."
If you were her, you wouldn't either. Then again neither would John Gotti.
You can't expect a ditzy blonde like Hillary to understand. Intelligence gathering and war stuff is over her head.
Hillary Clinton has be 'deeply disturbed' at least since her teen years.
Words fail me. This program in Hillarys hands would be used against DOMESTIC political enemies..
Believe me, if she ever got the chance she would use every tool in the intelligence arsenal to squelch dissent here in the U. S.!
After all -- it would be for the "common good".
Please let this dizzy dip run on the RAT ticket for President.
See link #4 ( New York Times). Clinton used it when there was no war, but also monitored voice messages and emails. They had an investigation, and the democrats supported the spying on American citizens when Clinton was president.
Democrats were okay with Eschelon and Carnivore which captured every phone call, every e-mail, every baby monitor (!), every ATM transaction and more, and that program is okay, pre war on terror, but this program isn't okay.
Eschelon and Carnivore information:

Oops - Clinton's NSA spying program accidentally (ahem) captured a Republican's phone calls.

NYT called domestic surveillance a necessity when Clinton was president:

This is the December 2005 NYT article which says what today's USA Today article says regarding NSA collecting phone numbers.
Clearly, Democrats (and some RINOs) have manufactured their outrage over this already reported on program. LOL

Who cares what she says? Hillary Clinton takes care of Hillary Clinton.
Perhaps she could have Craig Livingstone look over the records and see if anything interesting turns up.
This is the creature who had how many files in her private closet and claimed she didn't know how they got there?
This is the mass of evil protoplasm who routinely used the FBI and the IRS to intimidate and abuse enemies--that is folks who told the truth or might tell the truth about her and her co-felon-in-chief!
The main thing she's probably upset about is that she wasn't the head of the program and that she didn't have them recording all calls on her private acres of computers.
What a wretched disgrace to humanity that creature is.
--Qx borrowing JM's computer. I'm still having fits trying to get mine working. Norton seems hung with Zone labs and I can't get Norton uninstalled no matter what I do. Sigh.
I'd explain it to her lowness, but she's too stoopid and her fingers too deep into her ears while she intones 'bush lied' like a chanting monk-ey. It's amazing how much demagoguery is spittled out by the democraps and lapped up by their media whores.
That is all we need to know about Hillary.
I don't think ditzy blond is going to be something that sinks that ship. The two faced liar- devil in pantsuit-can't have her without him-stole from the White House on the way out-FBI files-I can't go on----
Yeah, deeply disturbed is certainly the truth about her--along with deeply possessed, imho.
But I don't think we should expect a 2nd truthful statement out of her in the same century.
--Qx
Of all the people to say this, she has the least authority.
It was her and her husband that ordered the FBI files of 700+ Republicans and media personnel to be handled by a bouncer who was unable to pass the FBI background check.
That was a grotesque abuse of power. Recording the phone records of people during an active war for foreign power abuse is angelic in comparison.
Very astute! It is because the democrats think in terms of using things like this against their 'enemies' in politics that they assume everyone would do it. Degenerate minds cannot help but reason that way don'tchaknow.
Holy cow, Peach. I found one article and I knew what was up. Man, you're cleaning the democrats clock!
Now if we could just get the Republicans to talk about this just a tad during Hayden's hearings next week, we'll be in business.
I believe this thread demands the "I LOVE COUNTRY MUSIC" graphic if anyone has a link to it.
You are great- thanks for your research! How do we get the words out. I am confident that all FReepers do the usual emails to Congress people- not heard.
Tackle individual media shows- perhaps. The blogs all of them seem is talk to eachother but after that is over and we have said our peace- should we not search out the individual wrong that is in the AP, Google News, oh so many....
Thank you for posting the sites - I saw that you did that last night and didn't bookmark it. Much appreciated!
And when the conservatives stay home and elect Hillary into power she will support it again and usurp the "hawk" mantle from the Conservatives who were formally in power assuring long term liberal dominance in Congress and on the Supreme Court.
"Well, we have to be fair to everyone,....Ya know!!, she said.
Why are they so silent about Clinton using it for everything? Even the pundits must know about the investigations during the 1990's and Clinton using it against everyone and everything just because he felt like it. What gives?
Does she EVER shut up?!
Now she wants to be all things to all people.
Hillary Clinton 'Deeply Disturbed'
"Manufactred...outrage", I couldn't have said it better.

I always thought that Her Heinous was proud of being deeply disturbed..
Mrs. Clinton suggested that using phone records to track down terrorists was unconstitutional
Unconstitutional? What is she nuts? I want them to use any means possible to protect me from these madmen.
This will work big against her and is one of those things to bookmark from her.

I have an easy way to defeat her in 2008. Get someone to indite her.
Thats like herding cats.. Hillary is an untouchable... unless she is witnessed by Chris Mathews and David Gregory shooting someone in the head on live TV.
I don't know why Republicans are so silent; it's very discouraging.
Use those links; send to e-mail friends and Congressmen.
I don't know how to get the word out, mojo. I also e-mail friends who are interested in politics and then they e-mail their friends; in this way we can get the word spread pretty far.
Right. How many FBI files did she nad her husband have in the WH?
