Plame and Wilson: The NSA's metastasised intelligence-industrial complex is ripe for abuse

[Thinkingabout]

24. Were you keeping up with events when the Patriot Act was passed? If the senators did not know this

was happening, then shame on them. It might be some of the same senators who does not attend security briefings and then complains they was not told. I was aware information was being collected during the Bush administration and with out the oversight of reviews with courts. FISA court has been available since 1979 so there was a source to have the oversight. Wiretapping has been occurring for years also, this is not new, and requires a warrant.

Don't waste your concerns on me allowing the government to do anything as long as it gets results for I have explained I did not like this collection or wiretapping without the required warrant. So it should be clear to you I am not for allowing anything to occur if it gets them results and I don't care who is in the Whitehouse, right is right and wrong is wrong.

As far as being aware of your surroundings, like in the case of the recent Boston Bombing, backpacks was placed and the one placing those left the scene. This turned out to be a problem, we should be aware of these actions. Security is going to have to be an effort of everyone, to look for signs of possible attempts to harm our citizens. Yes when we observe or hear of actions around ourselves then we need to report this to the proper agency who has experts to work with this information.
