is when you and others say "they are not allowed to"...They do, there are reports of this happening and you cling to this notion of nobility where NSA agents and outside contractors carry themselves with honesty. Not allowed to? This isn't elementary school.
What exactly is your position on the NSA?
We are not allowed to kill americans without a trial but we do...do you see how that works??
There is significant overreach at a cost to american taxpayers to the tune of billions.
And the insanity of vacuuming up all communications, storing them away for a later date is mindblowing. Not foriegn communications, all communications.
