Yep, I agree with you. The government has a huge department employing 6 billion people who do nothing but sit and read everything we put on the internet. Right now, someone is reading what I’m typing. /s

***If he is certain that it was legal to enlist telecom companies to conduct domestic surveillance, then why is he so adamant about demanding immunity for them? Bush has said he will veto a FISA bill that doesn’t include such a provision, which is difficult to construe as anything other than a way to bury the truth.***

Why is he so adamant about demanding immunity for them? I’ll tell you why: Because they would be tied up in courts for the next millenium and the country would have no reliable communications.

And while we’re at it, why is it legal for Google to cherry pick anything it wants from the internet, but not legal for our government to trace terrorists messages to each other?

Go ahead, type your name into Google. You’ll probably find messages on one site or another that you don’t even remember posting.

Not only that, but there's disclosure of national security programs to the targets.

As far as I know, Google doesn't search Outlook or Outlook Express or Thunderbird mail files, etc, on your personal hard drive, just web sites.
