This story is clearly written by a disgruntled journalist begging to change the landscape. If you aren't doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear. I really don't think NSA agents are sitting around the water cooler laughing about an e-mail I wrote to my wife. I really think that they are searching for the bad guys. Unfortunately, that means sampling everything they can. It's hard work and it saves lives.

If my "normal" neighbor is surfing for bomb-making plans, I'm more than happy to have the gov't step in and stop him BEFORE he accomplishes his goal. ]]>Jan 27th 2009 1:11PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/01/27/under-bush-the-nsa-snooped-on-all-americans-says-former-agen/http://www.switched.com/2009/01/27/under-bush-the-nsa-snooped-on-all-americans-says-former-agen/Jan 27th 2009 4:53PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/01/27/under-bush-the-nsa-snooped-on-all-americans-says-former-agen/http://www.switched.com/2009/01/27/under-bush-the-nsa-snooped-on-all-americans-says-former-agen/
Ever heard of keyword-based filtering?

Ever heard of neural network simulators?

Ever heard of liquid-cooled supercomputer underground farms?

If they have the above stuff (wich they absolutely can, and if an old documentary from the Discovery Channel is to be believed, they _have_), then there's no way in hell they are unable to monitor every way of communication from every citizen in the U.S. (and even outside, with the possible exception of very well done gov't internal communication systems)

"If you aren't doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear."

Yeah, except they make the law, and if they say you're doing something wrong, it does not matter what are you actually doing, they will own you like an object.

And this is a reality in Mexico: The law here is made to protect the criminals (because the criminals pay the goverment to do it). Such a good thing that the Mexican gov't is not smart/powerful enough to keep everyone under their eyes (like the U.S. is) :-)]]>Jan 28th 2009 12:59AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/01/27/under-bush-the-nsa-snooped-on-all-americans-says-former-agen/http://www.switched.com/2009/01/27/under-bush-the-nsa-snooped-on-all-americans-says-former-agen/
The problem I have with the whole thing is the war was not necessary and it was a big ploy designed by big oil and Halaberton etc. and to defend their actions they did whatever they wanted to do to justrify their mistakes.

It was all crimes agains humanity and it should be settled by an international tribunal.

They not only broke the law, they are wasting way too much time on just garbage. And the real terrorists go free because they're sloppy and illegal.]]>Jan 27th 2009 3:23PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/01/27/under-bush-the-nsa-snooped-on-all-americans-says-former-agen/http://www.switched.com/2009/01/27/under-bush-the-nsa-snooped-on-all-americans-says-former-agen/Jan 27th 2009 10:06PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/01/27/under-bush-the-nsa-snooped-on-all-americans-says-former-agen/http://www.switched.com/2009/01/27/under-bush-the-nsa-snooped-on-all-americans-says-former-agen/Jan 28th 2009 12:55AM
