The US spied on UN members in the lead up to the invasion of Iraq. They were trying to get an edge any way they could. In doing so, there is an indication there of being "up to no good". The spying itself indicates something bad....

[note - the NSA's Canadian Cousin is called CSE, Canadian Securities Establishment ; they do similiar work...]

"US Dirty Tricks to Win Vote on Iraq War"

K - When something good is being proposed, the truth is allways an assett. When something bad is planned, the truth allways gets in the way.
When we see lying and spying, we know the plan is for evil events, some sin is being committed. This may be too simple to covict anyone on, but as a guideline, the press could use it as grist for further investigation or reporting. It didn't do that in the lead up to invading Iraq...

Our Mass Media let us down there, big time, a fully collusive betrayal, a criminal act 2nd only to BushCo's crimes.

quotes:
"in early March 2003, the embarrassment was nearly worldwide. From Russia to France to Chile to Japan to Australia, the story was big mainstream news. But not in the United States."
"Whatever the rationale, the New York Times opted not to cover the story at all."
"the most powerful US news outlets gave the [NSA spying in the UN] revelation the media equivalent of a yawn. Top officials of the Bush administration, no doubt relieved at the lack of US media concern about the NSA's illicit spying, must have been very encouraged." -quoted from article

In the case of invading Iraq, the sin is greed and power, the plan is to invade and occupy and extract oil.

"Washington's war push was based on subterfuge and manipulation." - need we say more? Can we arrest Bush yet?
"As part of its battle to win votes in favor of war against Iraq," the Observer had reported on March 2, 2003, the US government developed an "aggressive surveillance operation, which involves interception of the home and office telephones and the e-mails of UN delegates." The smoking gun was "a memorandum written by a top official at the National Security Agency - the US body which intercepts communications around the world - and circulated to both senior agents in his organization and to a friendly foreign intelligence agency." The friendly agency was Britain's Government Communications Headquarters.

The Observer explained: "The leaked memorandum makes clear that the target of the heightened surveillance efforts are the delegations from Angola, Cameroon, Chile, Mexico, Guinea and Pakistan at the UN headquarters in New York - the so-called 'Middle Six' delegations whose votes are being fought over by the pro-war party, led by the US and Britain, and the party arguing for more time for UN inspections, led by France, China and Russia."

The NSA memo, dated Jan. 31, 2003, outlined the wide scope of the surveillance activities, seeking any information useful to push a war resolution through the Security Council - "the whole gamut of information that could give US policymakers an edge in obtaining results favorable to US goals or to head off surprises."
