[hometext] => E-mail from US spies asking British officers to tap phones of nations voting on war against Iraq.
[bodytext] => 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 O/ http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3485072.stm 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.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
