NSA admits listening to U.S. phone calls without warrants

[Catherina]

1. Oh make sure you see the thread I just posted about this

where a former NSA Senior Official for almost 40 years, (director of the NSA’s World Geopolitical and Military Analysis Reporting Group and was a senior NSA crypto-mathematician largely responsible for automating the agency’s worldwide eavesdropping network) stands by Edwards Snowden's leaks. Thread here: Former NSA Senior Official. "slippery slope toward a totalitarian state".

"Intent from the beginning, before 911, was to gather info on all Americans"

"I call it being on a slippery slope toward a totalitarian state"

What you said. "Oh, and you know, e-mail. And stuff. " And it is worse than that. They can come into your computer and grab anything they want. And again, as you just posted "an analyst's decision is sufficient, without any other legal authorization required".

Oh boy, oh boy. Nothing to see here eh? Move along eh?

Tip of the fucking iceberg.

Rec'd and bookmarked.
