    They want to monitor everything so no communication goes unmolested. Its sad to see one of the freest countries in the world take a turn like this.

    Exactly. Add the last few years of the media failing in their adversarial role and we the people are screwed.

    You are not screwed because of anything the media did or did not do - you are screwed because you let the corporations dictate what the government does.

    I hope they aren't looking for the words "big" and "boobs" or I'm in trouble, ha ha.

    Without an inside source on EVERYTHING, you MUST rely on somebody's reporting. Can you tell us who? Is it a secret? For example, who told you Obama doesn't have a birth certificate?

    One outlet can only do so much, but they've for the most part been the only national media to fulfill their adversarial role for the last five years. But if your premise is correct that would be the perfect outrage for the liberal media to expose. Are they?

    I spend all my time around government agencies and foreign embassies when I'm not in my office. I'm on a first name basis with all of them, and have been for a lot of years... We talk... its that simple.
