Wiretapping the Security Council:
Apparently Bush will do anything to get his war

The Bush Administration has been intercepting phonecalls and e-mails of UN Security Council members in the hopes of gaining valuable information that would help the US win support in a war against Iraq. A top secret memo discusses a "surge" in information gathering "directed at the UN Security Council (UNSC) members (minus US and GBR of course) for insights as to how to membership is reacting to the on-going debate RE: Iraq, plans to vote on any related resolutions, what related policies/ negotiating positions they may be considering, alliances/ dependencies, etc - the whole gamut of information that could give US policymakers an edge in obtaining results favourable to US goals or to head off surprises."
