DEA and NSA Team Up to Share Intelligence, Leading to Secret Use of Surveillance in Ordinary Investigations | Electronic Frontier Foundation

DEA and NSA Team Up to Share Intelligence, Leading to Secret Use of Surveillance in Ordinary Investigations | Electronic Frontier Foundation



 UPDATE: Add the IRS to the list of federal agencies obtaining information from NSA surveillance. Reuters reports that the IRS
got intelligence tips from DEA's secret unit (SOD) and were also told
to cover up the source of that information by coming up with their own
independent leads to recreate the information obtained from SOD. So that
makes two levels of deception: SOD hiding the fact it got intelligence
from the NSA and the IRS hiding the fact it got information from SOD.
Even worse, there's a suggestion that the Justice Department (DOJ)
"closely guards the information provided by SOD with strict oversight,"
shedding doubt into the effectiveness of DOJ earlier announced efforts to investigate the program.

DPIC | Death Penalty Information Center

DPIC | Death Penalty Information Center



 Because of arrogance and the unwillingness of the self serving Prosecutors, Politicians, Judges  and / or law-enforcement to admit that they have made a mistake. Many Innocent people have been and are currently being wrongfully convicted. Most will be incarcerated and serve out the sentence that was handed to them, Others will spent the rest of their lives in prison.  A great many cases the justice system convicted an individual and
sentenced them to death, but when the process that arrived at that
conclusion was reviewed, the conviction and sentence were thrown out.
The individual, who often came close to execution, could not even be
convicted of a traffic violation. Surely, that should be a cause of
concern in applying the death penalty.
