think about it, it's on a need to know basis. Why do people even believe these things?

Just like the IRS threads from weeks ago---

"They went after teabaggers, they'll come after OWS when Republican are in office!" Sounded like Rush Limpnuts here.

Now all those folks are gone after making up propaganda when, as was told by the administration, it was just a couple people. Actually, it was one fucking dude trying to make his job easier by keywords like "teabagger"

Do people even think there are "thousands" of people sitting in little cubes staring at a screen.
Look, "got a hit! "kentuck" "ows" "Iran" popped up again, lets track him down!!!

wait-
Oh shit, I just posted that, Now they'll be looking for ME!!!!
