"National Security"? Puh-lease

Sabi ni Dean Jorge Bocobo, breach of "national security" raw yung Hello Garci tapes kasama sa wiretap yung boses ni Maam Arroyo.
Yet the obvious NATIONAL SECURITY implications of the case have oddly never been a major concern of either the administration or the opposition. To this day, for example, there is no official explanation or even investigation by the Executive Department, of WHO made the Garci Recordings, WHY, HOW, WHEN and WHERE they were made. Yet no one seems to perturbed by the utterly stunning and uncontested fact that the COMMANDER IN CHIEF of the Armed Forces had been illegally eavesdropped upon, and her communications with ranking members of Philippine officialdom, both civilian and military, had been illegally recorded. This SILENCE or INDIFFERENCE to what should be regarded as an ALARMING BREACH in national security, is the most poignant indictment of the Arroyo political machinery's ultimate complicity and perhaps essential guilt in the production of those recordings.

THE MERE EXISTENCE of the Garci Recordings is to me PALPABLE EVIDENCE that a major breach in NATIONAL SECURITY occurred LONG BEFORE these conversations came to the knowledge of the general public, through members of the political Opposition like former Sen. Francisco Tatad and lawyer Alan Paguia, and indeed Ignacio Bunye.

But I don't think ARroyo was the one being targetted and spied on by ISAFP, kundi si Garcillano. Ang tinatarget ng administration for wiretap operations ay mga kaaway nito sa opposition at mga rogue untrustworthy administration officials o criminals katulad ni Virgilio Garcillano.

Nadamay lang si Arroyo dahil tinawagan niya ang "Master Operator" para pataasin ang boto niya at "ayusin" ang eleksyon.

Sa "Hello Garci" tapes kung mapapansin mo, si Garci ang "common denominator" doon.

And if you're a fan of the NBA, i'm sure you're familiar with the Tim Donaghy scancal. He's the referee consorting with mob bosses on a gambling scheme to fix the outcome and point spread of NBA games.

How did respected NBA ref Tim Donaghy finally get caught? The FBI was tapping the phones of the mob to monitor their illegal activities and his voice and name came up on the tapped line.

I guess like Arroyo, Donaghy too was "a victim".
