I think that in order to try to protect us all, as citizens of the U.S. that the gov may have to take some of our rights away in order to do so. If we had the NSA in use before 9/11 happend then it probably wouldn't of happend.
Amen Jason. That isa probably 98.3578809058% right!
In the wise words of Jules Winnfield, "Correctamundo!"

The key is that we need more human intelligence assets. Spies that speak the language and are able to alert our military and CIA when there are credible threats on the horizon. Look at what a lack of HUMINT caused with the Iraq war....still looking for those "weapons of mass destruction."
