(55,981 posts)Do you agree? Can Booz-Allen interface with Google, Yahoo, your doctor, ATT, etc. and collect everyone's data? I should remind you that Gen Clapper said that the NSA only looks at data in the "library" with a warrant. The big question is who made the library? Was a warrant needed to make the library? Who has access to the library? Can Booz-Allen sell the data to anyone? Is a warrant that says, "you are authorized to collect data on all Americans" a legal warrant per the FISA law? Do you think it worrysome that Congress's oversight is completely restricted by secrecy classifications? Do you recognize that the FISA judges are rubber stamps for the NSA?
I am guessing the above is way too much and you wish we could just lynch Snowden and end this whole mess. If so, Dog help us all.
