[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 78271, member: 484"] The government that gives us everything can also take it all. I can understand the closed mouth attitude of the NSA. With the liberal judges we have, and all those nasty leaks if very private information, the fewer people that know how information is gathered, the better. I guess my take is parallel to the news media. It used to be that journalists thought their jobs were to report the news, any news, to record and to report. Anymore though, they see their ambition in life is not to report, but to attempt to make the world a better place, and to slant the news to fit what they think is important. The CIA is to gather intel. Not to make or carry out their own policy. They are not to set up leaders in other countries (most of the strife we have known in the last 40 years has been with leaders hand picked and trained by the CIA) or to remove them from office. They are not to start wars that our servicemen and women have to finish. One last thought, one that has been mentioned but bears repeating. Once rights (that have been hard earned in the past) have been given up to the government, it is almost an impossible task to ever get those rights restored back to the individual. [/QUOTE]
