The naive also believed a president could never be a crook. What part do you have a problem with? The part where the US government used Echelon to assist US defense industries to obtain European contracts? Some live in a Rush Limbaugh world. Anything not first approved by Rush must be 007 conspiracy theory? But then Watergate was also some conspiracy fantacy. Clearly top White House people do no such things. At least the naive believed that nonsense then and today.
The Observer puts together a curious set of facts very similar to what the Washington Post published before Nixon's second reelection. Those blind loyalists also accused the Washington Post of conspiracy theorists.
Is the Observer accurate? It has credibility - especially if the UN Secretary General is investigating. What makes The Observer more credible is the integrity of this president and many of his top advisors. Had this been Gerald Ford or Jimmy Carter, then this Observer article would have less credibility. But the George Jr administration sees everything in terms of "god is on our side" meaning they have very little credibility. They even use this 'god' concept to justify the Bush doctrine of preemption - that we have the right to attack anyone who may be a future enemy.
Using Echelon in this corrupt manner would not be beyond such mentalities who have no respect for basic human rights and very little respect for the Bill of Rights when it gets in their way.
