A quick question about this spying business...

...and with a limited degree of validity. If a government can accumulate all this data then it has the ability to use it in whatever manner against a private citizen. And there is a track record of abuses, but the two don't necessarily synch up in this case...why I was asking for a specific example of the NSA being used in the wrongful arrest/prosecution. Then the argument goes further that while this administration may be benign, that doesn't preclude a future one from once again abusing privacy. It turns into an endless look and add more spinning and speculation and soon black helicopters show up.

The first step is to go from yelling about the problem to finding out exactly what that problem is. This is a job for a Senator Wyden and others in the House & Senate who have the ability to call witness testimony under oath and then enact or amend laws to prevent abuses. Maybe I'm a dreamer...
