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
You keep using this word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
I know exactly what it means. The shoe fits. Any honest man must admit that the label does, too. Even their slogans are direct translations of from the Russian Communist slogans of 1917. Yes, direct translation.
Stop sounding like McCarthy if you're interested in being taken seriously.
McCarthy was validated after Soviet Union fell apart, you fool. Released Soviet archives showed that his accusations were accurate.. But even if that weren't the case, it wouldn't change anything in what is going on today. I am not accusing people of being secret Communists as McCarthy did. I am accusing this administration of supporting Communist policies in the open. There is no conspiracy here. Conspiracy requires a secret. These Communists are brazen and nonapologetic. They are not acting like they are plotting something. They are acting like they have already won.
