Revealed: NSA pushed 9/11 as key 'sound bite' to justify surveillance (holy crap!)

84. Who is controlling our government?

I see no evidence of that. The GOP is falling to pieces. Not soon enough, mind you. Even the corporations are turning against them. Obama can't even get the most basic legislation into play. We just lost 24 billion dollars during an unneeded government shutdown. Who's controlling whom?

Who should be fired for spying on other countries? The spies whose job it is to spy on other countries?

I can understand the point of view that some have about phone metadata copies. I don't agree with it but I understand the point of view.

That, other than occasional agent malfesence that happens in every LEA, is about the extent of our civil liberties being violated. The rest can certainly stand to be refined and regulated and such but is it worth so much effort? The bill that's been introduced to outlaw metadata collection is a step in the right direction for those who think it's necessary. I doubt it's going anywhere, though.
