If President Bush’s right hand man, Karl Rove, gets the ole “heave-hove” from the special prosecutor, the man to take Rove’s stead is Scott Ott. Who is Scott Ott? Well, he is the genius who has advised the president to announce the Do-Not-Wiretap List. That is cleverer than Karl has ever been.
Ott is telling the president to announce the creation of a new website which will allow Americans to voluntarily exclude their phone numbers and email addresses from NSA wiretap lists. The new National Do Not Wiretap Registry (DoNotWiretap.gov) will be patterned on the “oh so successful” DoNotCall.gov model of allowing citizens to opt-out of harassment by telephone solicitors and junk calls. Scott Ott writes:
“If you’re concerned that your civil rights might be violated simply because some al Qaeda member has your information in his cellphone or computer, then go to DoNotWiretap.gov, enter your contact phone number, email address, and names of terrorists who might have you on speed dial and we’ll let the National Security Administration know that you don’t want them eavesdropping on you.”
End of story, New York Times and all the Dems who had already authorized the NSA to do just what it has been doing all along.
