Product Description

This unique electronic book on DVD-ROM has a comprehensive collection of the finest documents and resources on the National Security Agency (NSA) spying controversy about anti-terrorism wiretapping and surveillance by the Bush administration. There is extensive coverage of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and its use. The Bush Administration has issued these responses to the NSA story: "Critics have stepped up their attacks on the President for authorizing the National Security Agency to listen to international communications of known al Qaeda members or affiliated terrorists during a time of war. The American people expect their leaders to stay a step ahead of the enemy, and the National Security Agency authorization is a critical tool in the War on Terror that saves lives and protects civil liberties at the same time." - Scott McClellan, White House Press Secretary. The White House notes that NSA authorization is solely for intercepting communications of suspected al Qaeda members or related terrorist groups. The U.S. Department of Justice provides this description of FISA, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) - Congress has enacted comprehensive legislation governing electronic surveillance. In 1968, Congress passed Title III of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968. In 1978, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 ("FISA") was enacted. In 1986, Congress passed the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 ("1986 Act"), Public Law No. 99-508, which substantially revised Title III to provide coverage for the technological advances developed in the area of electronic communications since the passage of the original act. Minor amendments have since been made to the 1986 Act. These statutes share several common characteristics. Both Title III and FISA prescribe authorization procedures which must be followed before electronic surveillance can be conducted. These procedures include judicial approval of surveillance applications; minimization! of interceptions by surveilling officials; and limitations on the use of intercepted information. Moreover, both statutes impose civil and criminal sanctions on unauthorized surveillance activities. one court has distinguished between these regimes, holding that "FISA regulates both aural and visual electronic surveillance conducted for foreign intelligence purposes, and [Title III] regulates aural electronic surveillance conducted for domestic purposes." United States v. Koyomejian. In 2004, the Assistant Attorney General, Criminal Division noted: the FISA Court, or the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court is what folks are referring to when they sometimes refer to a secret court, where closed hearings include judges and government lawyers but no defendants or defense counsel. The FISA Court was set up a long time ago, back in 1978, when Congress established two different systems for criminal prosecution and foreign intelligence matters. The first system is the adversarial one that you know all about-prosecutors, defense lawyers, judges, and juries, all talking about whether or not a defendant committed a crime. The second system includes the FISA Court. The judges on this court regulate the government's collection of foreign intelligence information in the course of conducting counterintelligence. What does this mean in plain English? It means that the FISA Court doesnt even get involved in run-of-the-mill criminal cases for example, drugs, organized crime, and fraud. Instead, these judges get involved when the government has reason to believe that a persons acting on behalf of a foreign power like another country or an international terrorist organization, and were trying to thwart espionage, sabotage, or terrorism. If a "significant purpose" of an investigation is to collect foreign intelligence information, then Justice Department attorneys can apply to the FISA Court for authorization to conduct surveillan

Book Description

One of the sharpest debates being played out during America's war on terror pits the government's national security interests against an individual's right to privacy. Recent amendments to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance act have given the government expanded powers for electronic investigation under the act. Many have voiced concerns that with such broad rules the personal freedoms enshrined in American tradition are in danger, despite the protestations of federal officials who say they will not abuse their authority. Given the current threats to U.S. security and revelations about intelligence failures leading to September 11, 2001, there is a case to be made that national security trumps individual liberty in certain cases. As questions arise over "battlefield detainees" and the fate of those held for undisclosed violations, the importance of law enforcement regulations takes center stage.

From the author: The technological progress of the past thirty years has vastly increased the surveillance capabilities of the global intelligence community. At the same time, the law governing the use of this technology and its consequent information has remained largely static. This lack of adjustment, for better or worse, has rendered federal foreign intelligence surveillance law irrelevant in many respects.

Book Description

One morning all the animals in the jungle wake to find that they have the wrong voices. Rooster roars like a lion, Elephant hisses like a snake, and Snake squawks like a parrot! Giraffe has never had a voice before, and he's certain that he never will. But when he stretches his neck, opens his mouth, and takes a deep breath, something loud and wonderful comes out . . . something he'll never forget.

Children will delight in imitating the unusual animal sounds found in this gleefully funny pop-up book.

Book Description

Rooster has a sore throat and can't cock-a-doodle-doo. Farmer Ted is sleeping, and there's no one to gather the eggs, milk the cows, shear the sheep, and feed the pigs. Rooster needs help—and fast. Working together, Rooster and the other farm animals come up with some madcap but effective ways to wake Farmer Ted and complete the day's chores. But can they do it all before sunset? A barnful of laughs is guaranteed in this fun-filled book about friendship and cooperation.

Customer Reviews:

This Book Mooooved Me!.......2007-09-27

Rostoker-Gruber's collection of smart, cooperative barnyard animals is both clever and funny. Each group of animals displays an distinctive, and often appropriate, personality type, especially when faced with the challenge of completing a list of chores after Farmer Ted oversleeps due to Rooster's lack of "cockadoodledoo." The story moves at a quick pace, and the illustrations complement the author's sense of humor. This book will charm kids and make parents laugh, all while showing that if there is cooperation, a bad day can often turn out quite well.

Rooster Can't Cock-a Doodle-Doo.......2007-03-16

A most delightful book and teaches an important lesson about everyone being a very important "cog in the wheel" and the value of helping each other out in times of need. The illustrations are wonderful and the story is captivating to a variety of ages in children - adults, too. Fun to read to little people.

ABCs and the fun of God's creatures, what fun!.......2004-12-02

This is a wonderfully fun book. My kids and I love it. I do think it flows. My kids love the ABCs and they love animals. The great thing about the book is it combines both those things while gently reminding the little ones that the animals are all God's creatures. It is a must have. I am purchasing two for gifts. I just know my friend's kids will love it as much as we do.

good concept - doesn't flow.......2002-08-30

This book's concept is great. But the fact that it really doesn't rhyme at all makes it quite difficult to read to a child. It is almost like stumbling over the words even after reading it 10 or 15 times.

Book Description

A counting and identify-the-animals-and-their-sounds book in sturdy borad book format. One by one (and two, three, four all the way to ten!) the animals on the farm wake up to the rooster's crow. Horses must be fed, cows must be milked, ducks must go off for a swim. Loudly and happily, the farm swings into a day of boisterous busyness, punctuacted by clucks and moos and neighs. Youngsters will love counting and indentifying the animals, imitating their sounds, an playing hunt and find as they locate the little mouse that travels from page to page. Never before have the myriad activities of a barnyard been duplicated with such rollicking good humor!

My 15 month old girl and I love this book--and we have lots! The illustrations are lovely, the text clever and it's fun to look for the mouse on every page! I bet we'll be using it for years to come. Kids can learn numbers, animal names and sounds and some new words. Worth every penny and a great gift, too!
