silassewell writes to tell us The New York Times is reporting that the "volume of information harvested from telecommunication data and voice networks, without court-approved warrants, is much larger than the White House has acknowledged." The NSA gained the cooperation of many American telecommunication companies after 9/11 to access streams of communication, both domestic and international, as a part of a presidentially approved program to hunt for evidence of terrorist activity.

    I remember you by your handle, but not by anything you write. However, I could easily forget your handle and waste several seconds reading your tripe. The bottom line is you are wasting your time. Why don't you set the red dot for our mutual convenience? I really see no other use for you.

    P.S. You are still a fool, and I still don't care which kind.
