Default Directive 51

On May 9th of this year, Bush signed this document. It somehow went under the radar in the MSM. The only story I found in the MSM about it was the following one on May 25th that MSNBC had:

When I asked most of my friends about it, they didn't even know about it. I myself didn't know about it til stumbling upon it on the internet last month. Why wasn't this more publicized? It seems that a lot of people in general don't know about it. Would Bush be able to use this to further his own power or take away civil liberties in exchange for "security"?

dimisfh1,

You need new sources for your news. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
I learned about directive 51 before the 15th May, and I am not even a US citizen or resident.

By the way, if I also remember clearly. It is worse than what you nake it. D51 has secret clauses in it.

If there is one conspiracy theory that I will ever buy into, is the "new world order", surveillance cameras, national ID tags, basically between the clintons and bushs' for teh last 25 years, the highway that is "secretly" being built that runs right through the heart of the country, teh amero, etc, just leads me to believe that there si some master plan, and the people in power are slowing enacting it.

Classified legal directives are indeed subversive. Classifying the very way the govt is permitted to act is clearly usurping democratic principles.

To add a bit to the issue

[ QUOTE ]
Constituents called Rep. Peter DeFazio’s office, worried there was a conspiracy buried in the classified portion of a White House plan for operating the government after a terrorist attack.

As a member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, DeFazio, D-Ore., is permitted to enter a secure “bubbleroom” in the Capitol and examine classified material. So he asked the White House to see the secret documents.

On Wednesday, DeFazio got his answer: DENIED.

“I just can’t believe they’re going to deny a member of Congress the right of reviewing how they plan to conduct the government of the United States after a significant terrorist attack,” DeFazio said.
