NSA Data Mining Much Larger Than Reported

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.

Search around and find one of the beheading videos. Watch one and then tell me terrorism is intangible. The islamofascists in those videos would jump at the chance to brutally behead you and everyone you care about. These savages deserve no consideration and no mercy.

I know you Bush haters just love to think that everything Bush does is wrong and completely indefensible, but you must also know that there really are people out there who want to kill us all. I for one am glad that (despite their screwups) someone is trying to kill those very people.

You can bitch and whine all you want, but I sleep more comfortably at night knowing that our military machine is actively trying to kill everyone who beheads westerners for the glory of their god.

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.
