There is no excuse for the unwarranted and I believe illegal surveilling of every American. Recording every phone call and email and storing them forever. This should have never been allowed and should immediately be stopped. Bringing these illegal abuses to light is needed.<br /><br />However, as a nation we do need to be able to surveil our enemies. I worry these disclosures will damage our ability to legitimately keep tabs on those wishing us harm. Saying that, these damages are as much the fault of the alphabet agencies that overstepped their authority as WikiLeaks’ is. Had they done their jobs as intended and not overreached to spy on every American I doubt we would be here today. <br /><br />Lastly, I am troubled with the fact WikiLeaks’ only seems to have collected and released American secrets. If they truly are the “anti-secrets” organization, they claim. Shouldn’t there be releases from other nations? I look at their site regularly and the US seems the only focus. <br /><br />Badger<br />Badgerhttp://losingamerica.truth-in-politics.info/noreply@blogger.com
