104. That the government is tracking our metadata pretty much without limitations in this

Mon Aug 12, 2013, 03:35 AM

Aug 2013

age of very fast computers and algorithms is enough to cause me to be vehemently opposed to the NSA program.

I don't need the possibly hyped stories to know that our human rights under the Bill of Rights are being violated every day.

Just the idea that we are under surveillance chills our speech. This is, as I understand it, particularly true for the environmentalists among us.

Kriakou should not be in jail at all. The torturers should have been prosecuted, not Kriakou.
