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.
revisionist history much? even the UN and damn near every country "thought" they had WMDs at the time it happened. so either bush is an idiot like so many say or he is an evil genious who fooled the entire world into thinking iraq had WMDs
Bush was not a good president by any stretch of the imagination but if you are gonna go after him for something, thats not the right one
have you seen my sig? there are many others like it but none that are the same
