I SAID THIS WOULD HAPPEN!

Is anyone really shocked?

This is what we warned about, this is what we said would happen. We allowed them to scare the crap out of us enough that they were able to go and do this?

Warrantless spying on American citizens is idiotic if you ask me. There are so few, if any, American CITIZENS who are tied to Al-Qaeda that this does not justify spying on Americans.

The Patriot Act needs to go...or at the very least, needs to be restructured and reorganized. I can't fathom how anyone can stand for this.

They're up to something else, and this is what we got for trusting the government with limitless powers. Have we learned nothing from history? Just because we're a democracy, doesn't mean we can stay that way (see: Pre-1933 Germany)
