FBI, NSA, and CIA directors chuckle at ‘presumption of privacy’ question
by Ann Mercogliano

They sat down together for the first time in public, the director of CIA, the FBI and the NSA and fielded pre-screened questions about our privacy, but left many questions unanswered.

...

The final question was aimed at all three, “Do average Americans have the presumption of privacy in any arena of life anymore?” The question was met with immediate laughter from the crowd, then from the panelists before answering.

“The real issue that we have is the communications devices you use, terrorists use,” said General Keith B. Alexander, adding tongue-in-cheekily, “Now at NSA we came up with this great idea, we’re going to have this separate set of communications devices and numbers that terrorists will use . . . and only those devices will be collected on.”

They did not take questions from the press.

6. yes

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

7. So IOW, they are lazy and unproductive.

Just net a huge amount of intel and sift through it hoping to find a diamond. What a bunch of fucking idiots...all three of them. I guess sticking your nose to the ground and doing honest investigative work is a thing of the past now. We are all GUILTY now, until proven innocent.

Laugh away you fuckwads...your simplistic explanation is an insult.
