Um, how does one spy on a website? Isn't it fairly obvious what's on it?

So "revealed regular visits by members of the U.S. military and federal government." Means there spying? I guess by that leap of logic ALL visitors to the site are spying as well. :roll:

The NDP isn't claiming that it's spying.
But Mr. Layton cheerfully rejects any comparison to wire-tapping and barn-burning days of the past. "I guess they're just doing their research," he said.
Perhaps they're helping out their CSIS counterparts, eh? :P

Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."- General Sir Charles Napier

This just seems to be an interesting fact that someone decided would make a good news story. the NDP isnt even trying to make a big deal out of this, its the news agency yelling "fire". I hate it when news agencies stop reporting news and start making their own, its so annoying.

What will the Americans find from the site hmmm???? Maybe they will learn that the NDP doesn't have a hope in hell of winning a federal election.
