Just Us Department

The press is a significant part of the serious, bipartisan problem.

Don't we want "justice"? The only way to be sure is to monitor everything that we say and track us everywhere we go. Better start learning Mandarin, because this place is going to rip itself apart from the inside out.

Bipartisan problem? They don't seem to have a problem keeping close tabs on Republicans.

It's called getting caught or not hiding what you're legally doing.

The previous strategy was spy domestically, then yell OOH SHINY, look TERRERERISTS! then let 3 news cycles forget about a single reporters question.

Seriously. We had administrations that constantly hunted for bad guys and gathered information and formulated long term strategies which put is in some long drawn out battles that are still ongoing. Now we have one that gets intel and acts on it piece by piece with heads on a stick in some cases which doesn't play into the previous long term strategies.

And it's all about money. Which makes more money, tracking terrorists for decades looking for more terrorists or finding a terrorists and shooting him?

And the AP is whining because they got caught reporting on restricted information handed to them by someone who is not allowed to be handing it out and in the case of a news reporting agency the purpose is for profit. In the case of the IRS targeting the tea party types, tracking the statistics make it look like the targeting of mostly tea party groups because I'd bet that the majority of new political groups at that period of time was tea party groups because there aren't a whole slew of small new liberal or progressive groups popping up in every neighborhood at the same time. And when you tax status application has comments or names that imply you are against paying taxes then you're damn straight it should be scrutinized by the tax authority.

It's a bunch of bs all around from all sides too, no politicians want openness , they want info compartmentalized to be able to gain monetarily from it or allow select others to gain from it, not everyone. This is the majority premise for a secretive government in modern times.

I don't know about the bipartisan problem, but they sure as hell are a significant part!!
