DHS to Kill Domestic Satellite Spying - Political News - FOXNews.com

Quote:
WASHINGTON -- Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano plans to kill a program begun by the Bush administration that would use U.S. spy satellites for domestic security and law enforcement, a government official said Monday.

Napolitano recently reached her decision after the program was discussed with law enforcement officials, and she was told it was not an urgent issue, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk about it.

It's good to see that at least some of the big brother initiatives created over the last several years are being repealed.

Because I'm pleased to see some of the neo-con initiatives going away.

I agree 100% with you. My concern is what "might" have been implemented to replace this form of spying on us.
