"Bush sneaking North American super-state without oversight?"

From this:

Despite having no authorization from Congress, the Bush administration has launched extensive working-group activity to implement a trilateral agreement with Mexico and Canada.

The membership of the working groups has not been published, nor has their work product been disclosed, despite two years of massive effort within the executive branches of the U.S., Mexico and Canada.

The groups, working under the North American Free Trade Association office in the Department of Commerce, are to implement the Security and Prosperity Partnership, or SPP, signed by President Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox and then-Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin in Waco, Texas, on March 23, 2005...

Geri Word, who heads the SPP office within the NAFTA office of the U.S. Department of Commerce affirmed to WND last Friday in a telephone interview that the membership of the working groups, as well as their work products, have not been published anywhere, including on the Internet.

Why the secrecy?

"We did not want to get the contact people of the working groups distracted by calls from the public," said Word...

...WND can find no specific congressional legislation authorizing the SPP working groups...

[The closest are bills from Sen. Richard Lugar and Rep. Katherine Harris, neither of which passed]...

...WND has requested from Word in the U.S. Department of Commerce a complete listing of the contact persons and the participating membership for the working groups listed in the June 2005 SPP report to the trilateral leaders. In addition, WND asked to see all work products, such as memorandums of understanding, letters of intent, and trilateral agreements that are referenced in the report...

Sounds like it's getting serious. Oddly enough, the various major MSM sources don't seem to be interested in a plan to change the very structure of the country.

In addition to the bills mentioned by Corsi, note also that Sen. John Cornyn introduced a bill that would create a "North American Investment Fund to promote economic and infrastructure integration among Canada, Mexico, and the United States, and for other purposes."
