The Future of Tech And NSA Wiretaps
Tyler Too writes "Is there more to last week's story about President Bush authorizing wiretaps without court review? Ars Technica writes about what's going on behind the curtains with the National Security Agency's technology: 'When the truth comes out (if it ever does), this NSA wiretapping story will almost certainly be a story not just about the Constitutional concept of the separation of powers, but about high technology.'"
1: Protection against government intrusion.
2: Protection against terrorism.
You're not going to get both.
"It's the height of ridiculousness to say for those 9 lines you get hundreds of millions."
Obviously you missed the key difference this time... Bush did it.
Give a Bush a second term and living in the United States will be like living in China. Wait a sec.. you did so!
Yes...it's good for them to keep some secrets from us. THEY'RE IN CHARGE! Parents keep secrets from children because that's better for them. It's better for us not to know some things. Children of course want to know everything because they don't know what's best for themselves. Of course you idiot liberals think and act like children most of the time anyway so of course you're all upset about this. If you're not doing anything wrong, what do you care if somebody knows about it. It's not like they're collecting your bank information so they can hack into your account and steal your money. They have the IRS for that. I hope they catch whoever leaked this information and punish them accordingly. Last i knew, leaking government secrets was treason and they still executed people for that. We can only hope.
