@MBoncher I will tell you,,,,  this seems to be a sincere question...

It is a federal crime for anyone including the president to have asked a civilian company or anyone to help spy on their citizens without a court order....!    without a warren!!   It is a felony crime..!  that is the monomania you hear about....    It has been the law since 1974...   or so...  you need to get a warren to tap phones or look at personal records...  normally you have three days to tell the court..  you can tap a phone now and in 72 hours you need to tell the court and get a warren...   This is recorded and kept for record...    without a warren there is no record...!    no one knows what, who, why is going on...!

They will tell you it is for terrorism....  but are you sure, are you sure all those taps are for that purpose..?  I don't...  I feel it in my bones there are political advantages in mind..

Last word...  a few telecom companies did refuse and nothing happened to them... 
Of course  they are probably in the unethical shit house list...  but these companies are heroes...  They stood firm and said NO!,,  not without a court order...
the other companies were either too scared or in bed with the administration.. they just bent over...

This administration wanted to do it in secrecy even from the law it self... why? ask your self why?  Now, they just killed our only guardian against wrong doings towards us citizens,,,

Hope you get it...   if not and want to talk more feel
free to e-mail me...

I'm glad these postings are being civil,,,,

This is it I'm out of here...   No more posts from me..
