    If the nuclear energy is the one solution to the worlds energy needs, then ALL countries, including Iran, Syria, and every single state in Africa will need its very own nuclear power industry. And every one of those countries realizes that a nuclear weapon would be the trump card that prevents them from being invaded by hostile neighbors, and it would make even GWB think twice about an attack.

    That actually sounds like a more peaceful world.

    Imagine one where the US isn't trying to mange/invade/control/piss off every other country out there. There'd be a lot fewer terrorists than any 'war on terror' could ever hope for.

    Did they say they weren't looking at US citizens' data?

    I understood that they said they were getting meta-data on everyone. Period.

    And that it was legal because some BS rubber stamp court said so.

    Meta data gets you far more information that just the content of the phone conversations. Who, where, when, how long all paint a much more thorough & accurate picture than just 'he said'.

    Imagine if we could actually hold our public officials accountable for their actions.

    See here for what it actually looks like for one politician in Germany.

    "Green party politician Malte Spitz sued to have German telecoms giant Deutsche Telekom hand over six months of his phone data that he then made available to ZEIT ONLINE. We combined this geolocation data with information relating to his life as a politician, such as Twitter feeds, blog entries and websites, all of which is all freely available on the internet."
