Interesting article on NSA spy programs

[redwood66]

I like The Intercept for its reporting without a huge amount of bias in either direction. The NSA and its spy programs have been the subject of heated discussions in our house between DH and I and the two intelligence collectors who are our sons. DH and I are continually skeptical of the power held by these agencies in secret under the auspices of keeping our people safe. It only takes a few to justify going down the road of trampling on civil liberties.

Edit - It is a VERY long and in depth article.

The Patriot Act was the death of fundamental liberty. I am shocked that more people aren't outraged. Very few of our "leaders" even see it as an issue. Bin Laden won.

The PA started it all and it snowballed from there.
