National Security Letters Reform Act Reintroduced

Posted by kdawson on from the don't-gag-me-bro dept.

eldavojohn writes "A bill introduced today, similar to one that died in 2007, would reform the plague of National Security Letters and greatly narrow their scope. On top of that, it would mandate the destruction of any wrongly obtained information discovered in audits by the Inspector General that uncovered widespread improprieties in NSLs."

    Only when we as a society can get beyond the Democrat versus Republican myth will we truly start dismantling the subterfuge that is destroying our liberties, our Constitution, and our democracy. If we start looking at every politician based soley on his or her merits alone and ignore his or her political affiliation we would see the enormous "change of course" that we have been promised oh-so-many times and never actually seen.

    I would be paranoid too, if everyone was plotting against me.

    Now go take some anti psychotics and have a nice lie down.

    These posts are modded down because they repeatedly spam discussions with long winded boring irrelevant paranoia.

    First thing I learned in self-defense class in grade 7, never bring a weapon to a fight you don't want used against yourself.

    That would restrict my choice of weapons to a fleshlight.
