yah, we should all have problems with some of the things our governments and corporations do to us. I can fully accept that. But saying the National Security Agency shouldn't have secrets? That's over the top silly.

They should have had Morning Joe announce that the Seals were after Bin Laden and give co-ordinates and all as soon as the plan was fixed? How many were going in and what tactics they were using? that should have been public knowledge before the fact?

woah.
