U.S. to Gain Access to EU Retained Data

shenanigans writes "After the EU recently ratified controversial data retention laws for ISPs and other telecommunication companies, it now looks like the US government will get full access to the data. From the article: 'US authorities can get access to EU citizens' data on phone calls, sms and emails, giving a recent EU data-retention law much wider-reaching consequences than first expected'. Apparently, the US has been calling members of the EU to 'ensure that the data collected [...] be accessible to them'."

If you aren't doing anything wrong, what do you have to hide?

Monitoring Europeans is part of our war against terrorism. When the terrorists are defeated our monitoring of you will be credited as a tool for preserving the coming peace.

Your desire for freedom from surveillance inevitably means slavery under Islam.

The treasonous media that exposes these acts by the Government must be punished. America's national security depends on your ignorance of the anti terrorism activities our leaders are carring out to preserve America's strength as a free nation.

Your desire for freedom is a dire threat to our national security and that, sir, makes you an unlawful combatant. Your post has been forwarded to the DHS, FBI, NSA, CIA, and FOX.
