Even in this article, what is _not_ said, what is glossed over, is that
all (_*all*_) communications within the US, or that pass through US hubs
*might* be monitored, tapped, recorded, or *modified*. That includes all
commercial, personal or political communications.
That is the really big problem, "no oversight". The government says
there can't be oversight because that would compromise security. If that
is not a catch 21 explanation I don't know what is. The Bush
administration is saying "trust me", and why shouldn't we have they ever
done anything to make us thing they are not the most trustworthy
people in all the world?

They say that the spying is only on information going in and out of the
country, but how is anyone to know if there is no oversight. That is why
this kind of activity should and previously did need a warrant. Their
approach is like the classic joke "I could tell you but then I would
have to kill you". Well they are killing us.

Interesting web site, but what does it have to do with this thread? What am I missing? There was another thread about "Net Neutrality" was this supposed to go with that thread?
