Re: Never an Excuse
said by Roop  :But 50% of americans didn't vote last time, so 50% thought it wasn't important enough or thought it didn't matter or worse, didn't have an opinion. The ones that vote did picked bush. America is up the creek. It's OK. Bush isn't running again. |

The bigger problem is those that don't know about it like texans20.
You can't fight something if you don't even know it exists.

He stated there is never an excuse for it to happen without a warrant and that checks need to be in place. There is a BIG differance between a legal wiretap and as you stated the recent ILLEGAL wiretaps. |

Every government power must have a check in place. If FBI Agent Joe Blow has the ability to listen into any phone call, or intercept any internet packets whenever he wants to there is a huge problem. Never heard of the USAPATRIOT ACT, or Bush/NSA/Teleco illegal wiretapping of all telecommunications in the USA? I believe the huge problem is already here. |
