” - - - NSA officials intend to press for court authorization to broaden their coverage of cellphone providers to return the government to near-total coverage of Americans’ calling data, the newspapers said. - - - - “

Should the NSA be abolished?

I hope the Next Snowden gets and goes public with the NSA recordings of Congresscritters conspiring with this Tyrant to blackmail Supreme Court Justices, Federal Judges and other members of Congress and also releases captured emails showing the collusion between the white hut and Government agencies to intimidate and harass Tea Party groups.

The source includes AP, Reuters and Aljazeera - is there an honest employee among the three? Can we believe even one word? Probably not.

Gra, “Should the NSA be abolished”?

A few short years ago , NSA was packed with really good people. We, America, need each of them back, bringing puss removal equipment.

Rab thinks > throw out not the baby, with the bathwater.

Mmmm?

Love thine enemy, for he may be the only one eager to reveal an unfortunate proclivity of your friend.

I have fun on the phone. With selected family members and friends I will begin talking about "explosive diarrhea" and possible remedies. My talking partner begins to chime in with his or her present imaginary symptoms.

I can only imagine the NSA agent listening in switching to another phone line.

Obviously, yes!

At least until we control all three branches.

Ken, “Obama corrupted the whole lot”?

Na, more like boiling a frog. Just kept feeding in Chicago Com Org and let revulsion respell the cadre. For victory of evil, only the muting of valor is required.

It’s a cancer that has spread and grown more malignant with each administration, IMO. Obama is standing on the shoulders of others.

Notice how they went from the “patriot act” to Gestapo-like spying. The “patriot act” was named so as to gin up feelings of patriotism, and warm feelings for one’s government. Before long we found out they had used the terrorist attacks as an excuse to expand domestic spying, and to force nuns to strip.

Under the guise of security, they give us fascism.

Correct. These three sources are the worst kind of liars.
