NSA Surveillance Heat Map: NSA Lied To Congress
anagama writes "NSA officials have repeatedly denied under oath to Congress that even producing an estimate of the number of Americans caught up in its surveillance is impossible. Leaked screenshots of an NSA application that does exactly that, prove that the NSA flat out lied (surprise). Glenn Greenwald continues his relentless attacks with another bombshell this time exposing Boundless Informant. Interestingly, the NSA spies more on America than China according to the heat map. Representative Wyden had sought amendments to FISA reauthorization bill that would have required the NSA to provide information like this (hence the NSA's lies), but Obama and Feinstein demanded a pure reauthorization of FISA, which they got at the end of 2012." And if you don't mind that you might have your name on yet another special list, you might enjoy this Twitter-based take on the ongoing news.
This is impossible and I am willing to believe everything the NSA said.
And if you do not believe the same you are very unpatriotic.
If we're going to go the way of China, could we at least have some of our manufacturing jobs back?
Could slashdot find some people who understand double negatives?
I don't doubt it.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
"I have a hard time believing the US performs more domestic surveillance than Putin's Russia."
Why? This is America! We're number 1! Fuck, yeah!
