Just when you thought the New York Times has only recently let out vital secrets...here are a couple lesser known and forgotten examples...

And if you're not a terrorist, why should you care if the government keeps tabs on every single thing you do, eh? Only a guilty person could object to being wiretapped and databased, and if they complain, that proves it.

And if you're not a terrorist, why should you care if the government keeps tabs on every single thing you do, eh?

Perhaps if I'm making phone calls to Afghanistan, Iraq, and other Middle Eastern shitholes, I would expect that would take place. Just like when I was in the military using military phone lines, I could expect to be monitored.

And you seriously believe that the vast number of people they were tapping were doing anything like that? They were just using it as an excuse to keep tabs on anybody they didn't like -- that's why they couldn't be bothered to file for warrants, even in the generous after-the-fact time allotted by the law they were ignoring.

Okay, you got me. In all the red states, there are really underground caverns of secret smokey rooms fill with old white men with 1950's headphones listening to our conversations. Transcribing our every word so they provide it to Cheney and Gonzales. ssshhhh, don't tell anyone.

Whatever you say. When the sarcasm gets this heavy, it's clear you're out of everything else.

No. It's just that I don't see a boogey man around every corner of ANY administration...unless I use my super X-Ray specs provided by the freemasons. @.@

Look out, there's a terrorist behind you and he'll get you unless you allow the government to perform a lot of unnecessary surveillance of every aspect of your life.

That was close.

I object because while in theory our government is for the people, there are individuals working in the government who can misuse information.

I do not drink, do drugs, engage in morally questionable acts or own any illeagal items/substances - yet I would not want my parents or friends rooting through my stuff or shadowing me.

I am not a terrorist- and I don't want the government to treat me as if I was one either. I want to be respected as a citizen who respects government's role and laws, pays taxes and understands the rules of society. As a citizen who does so, being treated as if I were at war with myself and society insults both my personal feelings and my society which theoretically respects the rights of individuals.

Exactly. This administration keeps treating everybody as criminals in the absence of any reason to do so. They make me ashamed of my country.
