Does no one care about wikileaks?

NSA can't & won't find terrorist in the metadata. the data itself is useless for that purpose. Originally Posted by dilbert firestorm

So, LardoLad, you are officially on record as preferring security over liberty. Enjoy the coming police state. It's people like you willing to sell out freedom that are causing the demise of this once great country. And I stand by my statement. If it can be shown that any information affecting real national security was leaked by Snowden, I will change my position. You just like being a statist asshole. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy

We spend billions on homeland security and you want to handcuff the people we pay to protect us. You haven't cited a single instance where unauthorized NSA surveillance has caused harm to innocent citizens. You haven't because you can't.

As your hero, Drumpf, says: "We've got to do a better job to address the cyber..." (what a fucking loon)

Of course, it's kinda odd that nobody's hacked his accounts, isn't it?

Then again, what would they find that Drumpf won't say unsolicited in one of his rambling rants?

Thanks for your opinion, LittleFredo, the Dancing Turd. Oh, and LardoLad, the only way we will find out about harm done is through people like Edward Snowden. The government isn't going to tell us. This is a blatant infringement on my 4th Amendment rights. The harm is in that, alone. If the government has probable cause, they can get a warrant. What have you got against freedom?

Not a single innocent person was harassed or jailed by the NSA. And they already have to go to a FISA court judge and obtain a warrant before they can look up anyone's phone or internet records. You would know that if you had even the slightest clue what you are talking about.

All you care about is pounding yourself on the chest and saying "Look at me, I'm a big shot defender of liberty" while you help enable the terrorists to plot their next deadly attack undetected. The blood of their victims - our fellow citizens - will be on assholes like you.

This election is OVER. Republicans should start focusing on 2020. Unless a bomb hits between now and November 8th there is no way Trump can overcome the lead that Clinton has in the polls. For those of you who are still not believing the polls . . . we'll see in a handful of days how accurate they are. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX
