Even if that’s so, the message is what matters, the messenger matters not.
I don’t care if he’s lefty, right, innie, outie.
With tens of thousands of NSA employees, and NOTHING revealed to the public, and a simple “everything’s ok” to Congressional closed-door hearings, with a little “there will be disaster if we shut this program down”, with some prepared charts and graphs, and no one ever - even from the intelligence committees of Congress - being allowed to walk the halls of NSA, to look at its records, to investigate it...
it has, effectively ZERO oversight.
By definition.
It can’t have oversight.
Cuz it’s all related to national security.
Not to mention, the agency is so dang huge, anything that those in the know at the agency wanted to hide, they easily could.
Get rid of NSA!!
Agreed. The information needed to see daylight. I do not want any kind of "safety" that costs my freedom; after all, the safest place in the world is a solitary confinement cell.
A terrorist attack will not destroy America, but government tyranny will. This "War on Terror" is nothing more than a clever excuse the take away our freedom under the guise of protection. No person can be trusted with the level of information that our government has collected on its citizens - not a Democrat or Republican, Revolutionary or Patriot - not even you or me. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
