Wow, a landlocked navy and a complaints department that can't do anything.
Not much a complaints department can do about a landlocked navy. They should contact the Department of Canal Construction or the Department of Scrap Metal Recycling.
That would have to be the United Nations. A black hole when it comes to funds. A lot of pomp and circumstance, but very little action.
Flawed from day 1, by organizing it with 5 permanent members, some of whom don't like each other at all, and each holding unilateral veto power over *anything*. Small marvel that it hasn't changed the world.
The only surprise is that any other countries joined in the first place.
That little logic bulb went off in my head a while back. There are a left and right voting population who never vote for another party.
If you watch the polls on political topics, they very rarely go outside the range of 70/30 - 30/70.
I usually mentally exclude 30% on each side of the poll and scale the middle 40% back up to 100, to get an idea how the nonpartisan public feels about the topic.
It may speed up adoption of FOSS (or homegrown) by other countries.
Though OTOH, I can't imagine any of them would have been blind enough not to see this coming.
As for terrorists, didn't aQ switch from cell phones to couriers about a decade ago? Anyone who gets found out on the basis of the activities we now know about is either careless or stupid.
On the contrary; it was often used exactly that way. I've recently been transcribing some historic 17th- and 18th-century music from England and Scotland, mostly dance tunes complete with dance descriptions.
Also eth, for voiced "th". (I.e., "this'll" vs. "thistle".)
Or he could just use y, which is what Ye Oldfashioned Sign was all about. (Though I suspect it was used in typography rather than signs, because it would be easy enough to paint an eth or thorn even if a typesetter didn't have them.)

BTW, it isn't an agency.
The chances of being in the bottom ten just decreased by 10%.
You need an app that shows how long since a home has been burgled, so you can farm them more efficiently.
Yes, only liberals do that.
I predict this guy will be sued out of existence shortly.
He probably won't be found guilty of anything, unless he also populates the database.
You left out some rather important information in the article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jared_Lee_Loughner#Expressed_views
Anti-government, with a particular irrational dislike of Giffords (but also GWB), 9/11 troofer, paranoid about New World Order.
But perhaps most importantly:

Became unhinged, with suspected roles of drugs and/or schizophrenia.
Actually it wasn't a theory and it wasn't based on evidence. It was derived from ancient religious belief.
The God created Earth 5000 years ago. There is no evidence of Gondwana plate or even Earth 165 million years ago.
Tectonic plate theory, geophysics, botany and a host of other branches of science respectfully disagrees with you.
Even creationists say he's off by a thousand years...

What about
'Based on what you've heard, do think government surveillance programs was the right thing to do or the wrong thing to do?'
Yup. The media have made this about Snowden rather than about what he revealed.
Right or Left, we choose to disbelieve math and science when it doesn't fit our view of the world.
Disbelieving an internet poll is another matter entirely.
Just Amazon? Just books?
We should have learned by now not to get to fixated on early reports.
And the media will lose interest before the story is pinned down accurately.

Shows it upright, with at least one wing still attached.

Polls showed that more than 1/2 of American's weren't bothered by the spying..
51% also voted for Obama a second time..
Coincidence?
Meaningless, unless you show correlation between the two sets.
no. People don't practically care plus they have the memory of a fish.
And a fine fish it was!
Reddit is a much more fun site and more positive experience.
But does the NSA monitor them more, or less?

Tell us more! (Any examples on line?)
Forget the models - Do we get our glaciers back?
... that some parasite would come along and try and 'monetize' the MOOC craze.
Over the past few years con artists^w^w profiteers^w investors have set their sights on education in general.

Wouldn't that be 2013-1066 = 947?
They should just name them after the action figure each one is made to sell.
