How Much Should You Trust The Government?

Remember when President Bush said that only calls from terrorists would be intercepted under the staggeringly expanded international wiretap authority he asked for? Well, according to two of the people running the program, that was a lie. Basically all calls, personal or not, from the Middle East to America were recorded and transcribed. More proof that the government will always use whatever authority they are granted and then some.

Great credit here must go to the two whistle-blowers for having the courage to come forward. It cannot be easy to cross the NSA. Without their sacrifice, there is no telling how long this would have gone undiscovered.

Don't expect to see this story covered enough in the MSM. Not only do they not care much about civil liberties, there will be plenty of other scary headlines. The Dow will likely plunge again tomorrow, not even a dead cat bounce yet.
