Here are some lies you can tell about Glenn Greenwald.

160. Well you are entitled to make politics all about you. To me politics is about the country, what is

best for the country. And when we have leaders who respect the law of the land, all of YOUR issues and everyone else's have a better chance of being addressed.

But if I were to make it all about me, then only my issues would be addressed. I accept the fact that to ensure the rights of all Americans, I may have to forego some of my wishes, but I also know that overall, it will be a better country for everyone when the rule of law is respected and Americans are not being spied on by their own Government.

I don't like totalitarianism, even if it comes in the form of 'we're doing this for your security'.

Ron Wyden is Jewish also, his family escaped Germany just in time before it became too late. That is why he has always been so diligent on issues of Civil Rights, sometimes a lone voice during the Bush era. His father who was teenager in Germany during the beginning of the worst times, knew the signs of an emerging threat to the interests of the people.

But you don't have to have been there, you only have to read history. And a massive surveillance of an entire population is certainly enough of a warning to the people that it is time to stop this train wreck before it gets any worse.

Btw, do you trust these powers in the hands of a Republican? Because that is inevitable sooner or later.
