1. Absolutely! When the spying was turned on the citizens

the foreign went out of it. And, it's no longer "if" a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil has contact off shore. Listen to the following podcast....just a few weeks old. The NSA 'inquired' about then senate candidate Barack Obama after his speech at the 2004 convention. Which is very interesting in light of an OP yesterday questioning if the President has been blackmailed by the NSA. Which might explain....well...what some of us complain about. Also interesting explanation of connecting meta collection to revealing content.

And, in case anyone is thinking I'm a conspiracy kook...forget that. Let the pieces fall where they may. imho
