Its already on Drudge.

[Just mythoughts]

Hey I read what is claimed, however, there is no verification of who, what, when, & where this was done, and that is required to give credibility to the article. Give names, places, dates not some cloak and dagger mystery, with no way to verify.

Alot said to picture credibility, but nothing tangible to give credibility.

The only way this came from the Administration is to spook some into thinking that it is being done, not that it is being done.

Have to wait and see who squeals.

Kinda sounds like the old USA is turning into the old USSR! can you say POLICE STATE!!!!!

[Republican Wildcat]

That's quite memo. Sending out a message asking people to "get the word out"? Wouldn't they just order their employees to carry out an operation? This seems a bit odd.

[PhiKapMom]

Time to get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US.

Then newspapers around the world won't have to worry about us bugging anything. Most countries in the UN hate us to begin with so am sure they would prefer to travel elsewhere for United Nations meetings and not have to be on US soil.

[Naomi4]

Gosh I am glad to see this. Sometimes I think of us, the US, as hopelessly naive and decent.

[Procyon]

I just checked and a "George W. Bush" IS President of the United States. So this memo must be authentic.

Yes, we have never spied on another nation until Bush took office. < /sarcasm>

Look, take a deep cleansing breath and return to DU. We don't have a police state and if anything American Citizens have more freedom than we did under Clinton with all his plans for socialism.

[xzins]

Oh gee...maybe the U.N. will get mad and leave New York.

Wouldn't that just break my heart.....</sarcasm></total indifference>

[TLBSHOW]

send the UN packing and then sell the building to the highest bidder and then take the money and give to the American People!

[Patriot1998]

Right! Keep drinking your kool-aid.....

[mrsmith]

Tapping their phones- ha! That's what we want them to think.

The UN can block our mind-control beams, but not our new Alien Technology_{TM Persus IV} mind reading satellites.

[Reagan is King]

It's obvious a Brit wrote that based on the spelling of several of the words. I think it's a fake memo but I would be glad if they did bug them.

[WaterDragon]

Hyperpowers don't have to sneak around listening at keyholes. When the president is ready, we'll do the war.

[Stultis]

Dear Condi:

+

= NO MORE LEAKS!

('nuff said)

The Observer (UK) = National Enquirer (US).

Obviously this is a reliable source.

[Think free or die]

"If he is an American why is he using British spelling (emphasize, recognize are American spellings)? If this British rag modified the spelling, what else did they "correct," or make up? "

Likewise the spelling of favourable.

Seems hard for me to believe that stuff like this would be put in writing, let alone a single memo, even if true.

[Porterville]

I called it, it B.S. Post 42. Some jackass liberal euroweanie is trying to get the Bush admin in trouble but, as usual, the liberals are frickn' dirt bag loosers.

[Porterville]

So, the question is will the Guardian be held responsible for this garbage??? No; liberals will once again protest the United States with new propaganda; if you can't dig up dirt, create it and make it fact.
