  16. I do not blame the NSA for spying on Americans. on Letter to "Extended Family" Assures That NSA Will "Weather This Storm" · · Score: 1

    The American mafia has made money through selling information to foreign countries since 1977.

    Without help from the mafia cops, lawyers and hospital workers to allow Americans to be tortured, the Soviet Union would never have had the concept of super-cavitation, the neutron bomb, active stealth or cermet.

    While the American mafia allows kids/relatives of parents with access to classified data to be tortured, the American government has had it's hands tied, it's about 30 years past time for some crooked cops and their gang members to meet the waterboard for espionage.
