BUGGING THE U.N.

Bugging the UN
Just “normal” work?
Just another day
For a CIA jerk?
Why did America ask
Britain to do this?
In the dirty tricks game
Too dirty for the U.S.?
A memo was sent
From the N.S.A.
'Bug these people
Whaddya say?'
These are the nations
Who may not vote
For the war on Iraq
We want to quote
Each and every word
They say on the phone
And trip them up
So we don’t stand alone
Sadly for these buggers
Sadly for these spooks
A government official
Thought they were just crooks
She told the press
About this email
About the operation
And why it should fail
She got sacked
And then sent to court
A political trial
A deadly sport
Now it’s a case
Of red-faces all round
No evidence given
Governments don’t like the sound
Of facts against them
Being seen by all
So quietly they retreat
And not SEEN to fall
They need dirty tricks hidden
Well out of sight
Pretending to be honest
While they abuse their might
Please read the article
It’s the story so brave
One young girl standing
Against a dirty knave
A president who makes out
He’s George ‘Honest’ Bush
But the truth is he’s dirty
Another reason to push
His ass off the chair
He has abused for too long
He heads corruption
And here’s the latest sad song
The whistleblower walks free
Not guilty of a crime
But not so our leaders
Who're shown to be slime

Ex-GCHQ officer cleared over leak
Katharine Gun said the e-mail asked for help bugging key states
A GCHQ translator sacked for revealing a secret e-mail has been cleared of a charge under the Official Secrets Act.
Katharine Gun, 29, from Cheltenham, claimed the e-mail was from US spies asking British officers to tap phones of nations voting on war against Iraq.
She walked free on Wednesday when the prosecution offered no evidence.

I'll bet you weren't the least perturbed by the rottenness of Clinton.
What makes you assume Bush directed that and not an over-zealous director of the C.I.A.?
Is it because he is a Clinton holdover? |

hehe. bravo.
Steeleyes - you've done it again!
I saw this story on tv earlier and I thought:
"This is prime-time Steeleye material, this"
and lo and behold, you produce yet another succinct, satirical gem. 5 stars for this. |
