Former Bush White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer said he was “proud” to defend President Barack Obama in his massive surveillance of the Internet, likening it to making people walk through metal detectors at airports.
“The fundamental notion of is it good for this country if the United States government is collecting massive information in an attempt to find small numbers of individual people who could do us harm?” Fleisher told CNN’s Anderson Cooper Friday, where he debated Guardian columnist Glenn Greenwald, who broke the story.

“It reminds me, Anderson of other things we’ve accepted in life, such as going through airports. All innocent people go through metal detectors. Innocent people take off their shoes. Why? To find an occasional one or two bad people, and frankly, we haven’t had that in recent years.”
Last week The Guardian of London and The Washington Post reported that the National Security Agency had a program that allowed the federal government to tap into servers of major U.S. companies such as Google, AOL and Facebook to scoop out communications that could lead to tracking foreign nationals suspected of terrorism....

No, he’s not loyal to W.
He is one of the bright ones I WISH was on our side. He never was.
Just like our magnetic pole realigns... I think we’re about to see jumpers on both sides. Some weird portal has been opened. Age of Aquarius or something.
Now this man is in office and not only does he not dismantle ANYTHING, he increases the functionality and capacity of that very system.
Why do you ask? Because he has now been exposed to the secret data and scenarios discovered in the fight against these avowed terrorists that have planned or are planning to kill each and every American child, woman and man.
This NSA episode has scared the living crap out of me because now I know that these are real threats and not just political footballs used to further a political agenda. These pose a clear and present danger to our world as we know it.
I always thought a small nuclear device, a flask full of deadly biologicals or even the use of hand held missiles to bring down an airliner filled with your loved ones was just movie or a novel plot steeped in conjecture and supposition.
Well it appears the impossible accompanied by the implausible may be only days,weeks or months away. I for one am terrified.

Ari Fleischer = Yet another reason Bush had a failed presidency.
W = the republican Jimmy Carter
Liberal Obama lovers and liberal RINOs who served under Bush are the only ones that don’t think this Snowden character is a national hero. To them it’s all about state control. Bush was almost as liberal as Urkel Barry.
I wish I could take solace with that post but I am afraid we will need another 9/11 to regain what I believe to be the proper perspective regarding the zealousness, determination and pure savagery so characteristic of these people.
Those who ignore history and it’s hard earned lessons are bound to repeat them. I just never thought our assembled memories would have so diminished in less than a generation.
guess he has to defend his guy but, this administration has taken 1st and 4th amendment abridgements over the top and fascistically so.
Miss him yet?
Who? George Bush?
Call them "Leftists" or "Rinos" but the spots are the same.
It WAS Bush’s fault!
