USA: Anger swells after NSA phone records
 
"The scale of America's
surveillance state
was laid bare on Thursday
as senior politicians revealed that the
US counter-terrorism effort had swept
up swaths of personal data from the
phone calls of millions of citizens for years.
After the revelation by the Guardian
of a sweeping secret court order that
authorised the FBI to seize all call records
from a subsidiary of Verizon,

the Obama administration sought to
defuse mounting anger over what
critics described as the broadest
surveillance ruling ever issued.
A White House spokesman said that
laws governing such orders "are something
that have been in place for a number of years now"
and were vital for protecting national security.
Dianne Feinstein, the Democratic chairwoman
of the Senate intelligence committee,
said the Verizon court order had been
in place for seven years. "People want the
homeland kept safe," Feinstein said."

Anybody with privacy in mind and a brain in their head vanished onto the darknet a long time ago and became untraceable leaving the NSA trawling through housewives gossip.

The way I see it, Bob, is that if any of us knows of a thing, it's already known by some higher ranking official(and many others) of just about any country with a connection. Most people seem to want to give out more information about themselves than any of us cares about...wish they would clam up and use the darknet. :joker:

My friend and I always say "hi" to the NSA people whenever we talk about politics. IS this really surprising to anyone? I've known this since the 90's.

It's where people can buy drugs and child porn and stolen organs(the bodily kind, not the musical kind).

Black Market, Darknet... same thing.

I think they have.

I don't agree with the NSA or any government body breaking the law. But to say it doesn't help them prevent terrorism seems kinda silly. I think it does help them. And also it probably helps them sort out the people who are not real terrorists, the people who are just all talk and no game.

I definitely think their heart is in the right place.

Are they doing something wrong? maybe, they need to follow the laws. But they arn't doing it to oppress the American people, I do think they only do it because they honestly believe it is necessay to protect the American people.

People are portraying Obama and the US government as some kind of evil monsters that want to oppress them, but i honestly don't think they are. I honestly think they are doing what they think they need to do to protect us.

Ninastar 09-06-2013 02:16 PM

^ I agree

If they listened to phone calls to prevent terrorist attacks happening and potentially saving the life of someone I know, I'm all for it. What's the problem if you have nothing to hide?

9/11 was long before google and facebook and twitter. In 2001 most people still had dial up internet and used land line phones. There was no Skype. People were still using pagers in 2001.

Ninastar 09-06-2013 02:26 PM

no... I didn't say that at all.

You have no idea how many terrorist attacks have been prevented over the past few years. Coming from someone with a family member in the government, i would know.

they don't listen to phone calls for no reason.

Boston was a tiny attack by a couple of kids who were watching extremist youtube videos. There's no way to stop those type of attacks.

He was actually kicked out of his Boston mosque for being too extreme. he was a loner kid who got indoctrinated by his parents and by youtube videos. There are always going to be small little attacks like those.

The Boston attack was more like Sandy Hook or the Batman movie theater massacre than it was a true terror attack.

Like the UK public beheading recently, these small scale attacks will happen. You can't compare those type of incidents to real terror attacks like 9/11 or 7/7.

Wrong Russia gave warnings direct to American FBI

Russia didn't provide any criminal evidence though, all they said was "this kid is VERY muslim". What are we supposed to do with that? lock him up just for being VERY muslim?

They can't do anything with "links". Do you expect the FBI to follow him 24 hours a day for the rest of his life just in case he becomes a terrorist?

That's ridiculous.

They should have set up bugs
and checked what they were planning,
Many Good Americans said that.

In the UK we do that
and stopped the Heathrow Plane Bomb Plot
well done MI5
All Locked up now

Ok, but the muslim that beheaded the soldier also had terror links, where was MI5?

You can't have people monitoring all extreme muslims 24 hours a day forever. It's just not practical. There's too many of them.

We have to focus on the big terror plots. the large scale well orchestrated ones. We can't stop all the little ones.

There would be a new 9/11 every year if we didn't stop the big ones. The big ones are the biggest worry.
