Rumsfeld Snooping on the Clintons?

Rumsfeld doesn't seem shy about spying on his fellow Americans and that's why we need to be concerned about the lack of warrants when it comes to using the NSA to spy on Americans. The potential for abuse is too great.

Steve Soto of The Left Coaster points out the misuse of Pentagon officials for examining the Clinton's private financial data:
With the war on terror going so well in Iraq, Rummy has assigned his staff to dig into Bill and Hillary Clinton’s financial records. And I’m sure that these same staff have no NSA files to compare against, right?

Pentagon Probe Of Hill Routine

April 7, 2006 -- WASHINGTON - Mystery solved: Pentagon officials say a top aide was rifling through Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's financial records last month as part of a yearly background check for her role on a military advisory group.

But Senate records show the search marked the first time the Defense Department checked out the former first lady's cash history - two years after she joined the military's Transformation Advisory Group.

U.S. Joint Forces Command officials last month also reviewed the cash and investment records of Reps. Harold Ford (D-Tenn.) and Mac Thornberry (R-Texas).

Clinton, Ford and Thornberry are the lone lawmakers sitting on a Joint Forces Command advisory group devoted to helping the armed forces improve coordination between the service branches.

As part of the straightforward background check, Pentagon officials reviewed Clinton's investments and book royalties.
