How can I know? They're doing it in SECRET! That's the point. No justification, no probable cause, no court approval, nothing. For all I know, they've gotten all my records about everyfuckingthing I've done through my entire life. After all, I am impotent....er...important.

Why don't you ask the lawyer in the northwest US who was arrested for the Madrid bombings.:banghead:

Come on fellas, nothing. No personal loss of any kind? :eek:

Well I would say that you are guessing, that in some way you are just "terrified" that something has happened to you, but you really don't know if something has or not. But because you heard that the government was evesdropping on calls that originated from outside the US into the US, on suspected terrorist activity that now you are worried. Hmmmmmm.....:rolleyes:

TheMercenary 03-28-2007 05:39 PM

So you basically have nothing and are just "terrified" as well that something has happened and you really just don't know it. Ok. :rolleyes:

Whether it happens to me is irrellevant. It is happening. It has been admitted.

It is most rellevent because it is not happening you. It is happening to others who are under suspicion . What is rellevent is that you are not and have not been affected. Have you? But you fear it. The big bad brother is coming after you and your terrorist friends right??? I doubt it. The point is you are not and have not been affected by any of this. You are drinking way to much of the electric kool aid. Go back to water.;) Your fears are unfounded.

I never said they were after me. I said they are breaking the law.

And I say you can't prove that, nor can anyone else.

Happy Monkey 03-28-2007 05:47 PM

They admitted it.

Warrantless wiretaps are illegal inside the US. They admitted using warrantless wiretaps inside the US. There are emergency workarounds in the form of the FISA court. They did not follow that law.

Warrantless/subpoenaless searches are illegal. They have an end-run around this in the form of "national security letters" which are supposed to be used for emergencies. But they broke the law even in their workaround.
