Do you have Curtains Chuck?

Can I see your credit card statements from last year?


If you choose to make this a political issue, this program started under Bush in 2001, and has been expanded by Obama. I personally dont think it is political, because the NSA and CIA are acting as rogue states within a state, regardless of what puppet administration is in place.


Exactly! Rogue states within a state is a very good description. Well almost exactly. I think it is political because it occurs under the watch of those we elect. If the elected don't personally foster the action, they are still responsible for it happening, and I don't see anyone of them, R or D, saying they need to rescind the Patriot Act. FISA at least requires an easy to get a warrant, based on probable cause, from a justice who hopefully is better than a political hack.
