Cue the apologists... villager May 2014 #1
Do you understand what this is talking about? gcomeau May 2014 #2
Do you? villager May 2014 #3
Oh stop the juvenile "talking points" bullshit and have a real discussion. gcomeau May 2014 #4
"Bullshit?" "Handwaving?" "Real discussion?" villager May 2014 #5
Oh for fuck sake grow the hell up. gcomeau May 2014 #6
"real discussion" "I'll give you your answer" villager May 2014 #10
Why are you asking me questions I just answered? gcomeau May 2014 #13
You stated where you think the NSA should be reigned in? And its operations overseen villager May 2014 #34
I stated that they are already reigned in. gcomeau May 2014 #38
Ah yes, "the NSA isn't violating any laws! The 'courts' are keeeping them in check!" villager May 2014 #40
Can you read? gcomeau May 2014 #56

Let me tell you what Network Professionals think Aerows May 2014 #46
Yeah... gcomeau May 2014 #54
Woo Hoo! Aerows May 2014 #57
Wow, you are really off the deep end aren't you? gcomeau May 2014 #59
LOL Aerows May 2014 #61
You know another option... gcomeau May 2014 #62
Oh for fuck sake stop being such an aggressive jackass LondonReign2 May 2014 #70
Mmm... no. Thanks for the suggestion though. gcomeau May 2014 #72

You're just reinforcing my point, you get that right? gcomeau May 2014 #17
Wrongdoing with the Bush Administration, to boot. randome May 2014 #18
Did you catch PBS Frontline: "United States of Secrets" (Part One) this week? KoKo May 2014 #30
No, but I'll see if I can catch it later... gcomeau May 2014 #35
LOL, temper temper! Nap time? nt Logical May 2014 #112
Yes, we understand - they are spying on the wrong people, inciting wars, and destabilizing the world grahamhgreen May 2014 #47
Wow, you got all that from the photo? gcomeau May 2014 #52
No. I do understand your points. I hope you understand mine. What I'd like to see is evidence grahamhgreen May 2014 #102
In other words... gcomeau May 2014 #103
Yes. Why? They work for me and have zero credibility. They've jumped the shark and are over their grahamhgreen May 2014 #104
You understand that intelligence work... gcomeau May 2014 #105
So does a police state. They work for us. They are spying on us. They failed on 9-11 & Iraq. They grahamhgreen May 2014 #107
Oh joy, the false equivalence game. gcomeau May 2014 #108
Sure, but the NSA should not be performing them. They seem to have been corrupted by the neo-cons. grahamhgreen May 2014 #109
And how would that help? gcomeau May 2014 #110
Would you keep going back to the same doctors once you figured out that nothing was wrong with you, grahamhgreen May 2014 #111
Now you're making me repeat my earlier question gcomeau May 2014 #115
In my view, the NSA is not providing intelligence for the American people. They are willfully grahamhgreen May 2014 #121
Because you have access to that intelligence and can make that evaluation??? gcomeau May 2014 #122
What part of the NSA Charter allows them to gather intelligence on US Citizens domestically? Savannahmann May 2014 #71
What part of the activities described by this OP... gcomeau May 2014 #73
Because it's one part of the overall spying program Savannahmann May 2014 #75
Ah... another one of those. gcomeau May 2014 #76
You really should learn why NSA spying on Americans is so, uh, wrong. Octafish May 2014 #83
Perhaps first... gcomeau May 2014 #84
No. You first. Octafish May 2014 #86
Me first *what* exactly? gcomeau May 2014 #87
NSA spying on Americans is illegal. Octafish May 2014 #88
Good grief, are you even bothering to read what I'm typing? gcomeau May 2014 #89
That's why I wrote what I wrote. Octafish May 2014 #91
And... gcomeau May 2014 #93

So did the trolls. nt cstanleytech May 2014 #36
indeed, the pro-NSA trolls are here in force villager May 2014 #39
I wasnt talking about them. cstanleytech May 2014 #41
But you shoulda been -- they are here, sticking to script! villager May 2014 #42
Except they didnt show up until after someone posted a taunt that was sure to draw them in cstanleytech May 2014 #44
"We were made to do it!" villager May 2014 #67
True, the NSA has trolls here I am sure! nt Logical May 2014 #113
Well, that's what they get paid to do, isn't it! grahamhgreen May 2014 #49
So is this much noise made when the FBI wiretaps someone? randome May 2014 #16
I'm disappointed. I thought for sure you'd go with your 'there is no proof' argument. DesMoinesDem May 2014 #24
Again, what do you find objectionable here? randome May 2014 #26
I object that you didn't claim that the NSA newsletter wasn't proof of anything. DesMoinesDem May 2014 #28
No warrants. grahamhgreen May 2014 #55
From where does that leap of logic derive? randome May 2014 #78
nice to see the NSA use the baby blue console cable like the rest of the world snooper2 May 2014 #20
laws and technology melm00se May 2014 #25
Sadly, the laws seem to be "devolving," more than anything villager May 2014 #37

The traitor who divulged this belongs in prison MohRokTah May 2014 #31
The traitors shredding the 4th Amendment belong in prison villager May 2014 #33
And you think that this... Stingray steve May 2014 #45
And you think story in some way does not? villager May 2014 #85
How does the activity described above violate the 4th amendment? nt msanthrope May 2014 #48
I would agree with you. What is described in the story does NOT violate the 4th MohRokTah May 2014 #58

No, the traitors who shipped all our chip manufacturing to China deserve prison! grahamhgreen May 2014 #53
You should be more upset at the fact that this is happening. alarimer May 2014 #79
I'm PROUD this is happening. MohRokTah May 2014 #98

Half of the folks in this thread, indeed most of them Aerows May 2014 #51
As you say, it's amazing how easily all of this is dismissed... villager May 2014 #65
It is regarded as strictly a political attack on President Obama Aerows May 2014 #68
Exactly. It's a strange, narrow panic-response, causing more and more rhetorical knots villager May 2014 #69
We've fallen a long way since Inslaw/PROMIS Octafish May 2014 #80
It's the same old thing, different day Aerows May 2014 #82
