kmcolo says:

Though I understand the general belief that some domestic surveillance is needed to protect the country there need to be very stringent, independent, legal methods for doing so. Not the extra legal, neo-soviet, domestic spy program of this administration. To this day we don’t even know whom they spied on. Did they spy on the Kerry campaign? Sadly, no one who knows the slightest bit about this administration could deny that possibility.

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Benjamin Franklin
