This whole NSA story is nothing more than recycled outrage. Glenn Greenwald didn't break shit.

182. Of course you wouldn't be on DU if you were important to the terrorist community.

What a foolish way to pass information, on a Democratic forum, everyone would suspect you. And we have no foreign posters so I'm sure we are safe from prying eyes here. Oh, wait, we do have foreign posters, I certainly hope you never responded to one of them, wouldn't want to raise any suspicions now would we. And why would a foreigner want to post on an American Democratic forum? That wouldn't raise any suspicions now would it? I can think of one foreign poster that is fairly prolific but has never actually said anything in thousands of posts, or has he? Now I wonder why that is? Don't bother checking your posting history, it's probably too late. Never mind, don't let it bother you, they would never look for patterns on DU.

Why would the "government" be interested in what you or I do if it is not connected with terrorism? How do they know it isn't connected if they don't check it? Do you suppose that a terrorist would speak in plain language or use code or key words strategically placed to provide specific meanings? Do you do your banking with a foreign based bank? I certainly hope not. Of course you have never traveled outside the US.

Bahh, never mind, it's all just a conspiracy theory... well, until they get caught.
