Satellite Plan Draws Scrutiny
By Robert Block
The Wall Street Journal
Thursday 23 August 2007
Washington – In the first sign of opposition to a controversial satellite-surveillance plan, House Democrats told the Department of Homeland Security they intend to exercise close oversight of the program, a move that could spark another confrontation between the legislature and the executive over national security.
The announcement, contained in a tersely worded letter sent yesterday to Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff by House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D., Miss.), echoes concerns voiced by some critics that the planned program lacks sufficient safeguards to prevent abuses. (See the full text of the letter.)
The comments that have been listed only prove that the people making them are uninformed. I don’t5 wear a foil hat. I just read and I am educated on what is going on.

The Raw Story
The Department of Homeland Security’s top intelligence, privacy and civil rights officials will be called before Congress next week to explain the Bush administration’s plan to dramatically expand the domestic use to spy satellites that can see through clouds, buildings and underground bunkers.
The House Homeland Security Committee will examine whether privacy rights will be violated by the DHS’s creation of a new office to grant expanded access to spy satellite data to a variety of local and federal agencies, including law enforcement.
Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS) wrote to Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff earlier this month inquiring about the spy program.
Under a program approved by the DHS and Office of the Director of National Intelligence, detailed imagery from powerful satellites will be available to domestic security .
