The federal government intends to invoke the rarely used "State Secrets Privilege" -- the legal equivalent of a nuclear bomb -- in the Electronic Frontier Foundation's class action lawsuit against AT&T that alleges the telecom collaborated with the government's secret spying on American citizens.

Wow. Dubya's covering his own and his partners' asses.

You know, I would probably agree with the first part of your post if what you're saying wasn't so fucking stupid. Not only are you making pointless ad hominems against the people you disagree with, but you're making overbroad generalizations too. Regardless, none of what you've said is a valid argument for or against anything, so I don't see any reason to argue against it. But just for your information, I voted for Nader.



Personally, I think the status quo works. I'm not saying that it's wrong for the government to listen to people; I'm saying it's wrong for the government to have absolute power to listen to people whenever they want to. While I would grant you that the current system isn't perfect, it's still better than the government being able to listen to whoever they want whenever they want.

How did this post disprove the first part of mine? It didn't, but it helped support it.
