#1 Spying on other countries - even current allies - is NSA's JOB, dammit. Get used to it.

#2 James Clapper, director of national intelligence, welcomed the conclusion...

James would no doubt "welcome" any conclusion, so long as it isn't his.

#3 Unfortunately, they consider 'foreigners' like the Muslims consider 'apostates', as in these days incorporating the Tea Party, real conservatives,...posters at the Rant. Hi, there NSA!

#4 I never worked for the NSA, although I know a few people who did. I think they've been abused about as much as the IRS has -- some of it willingly, some of it not.

The problem today is that our enemies hide among our friends as much as they live in their own nations. I don't know the NSA's collection strategy, but I doubt they worry much about Rantburg. I think the IRS spies on us more, and Obamacare gives them far more power -- and leeway -- to spy on us all. That's just one more reason to rescind the entire mess.

#5 "Spying on other countries - even current allies - is NSA's JOB, dammit. Get used to it."

So you wouldn't have a problem with allies spying on US citizens, right??

#7 Spano, I didn't say that I would like it if our allies spied on us. However, I expect that they will try. I hope that the NSA and other agencies can prevent them being successful.

I assume that they are trying.
