NSA Officers Sometimes Spy On Love Interests

Posted by timothy on from the lives-of-others dept.

Jah-Wren Ryel writes "The latest twist in the NSA coverage sounds like something out of a dime-store romance novel — NSA agents eavesdropping on their current and former girlfriends. Official categories of spying have included SIGINT (signals intelligence) and HUMINT (human intelligence) and now the NSA has added a new category to the lexicon — LOVEINT — which is surely destined to be a popular hashtag now."

    The US Government is out of control and President "Hope & Change" Obama implements his real agenda, namely oppression of everyone not merely the black man.

    Any further questions? The vast majority of the criticism of the President is not being done on the basis of what he's done or not done, it's based upon the color of his skin. People like the bigot I referred to had no problem with these policies when they were being enacted by a white President primarily against Muslims, but now that the policies are being enacted by a black President on a more equal basis, suddenly it goes too far.
