NSA taping all Americans communications

Interesting Keith Olberman program about the NSA taping all conversations, all e-mails, faxes etc of all Americans! Very interesting wonder if they are still doing it! See link below!

The Echelon project in UK tapes/intercepts email, voice traffic around Europe..

I'm not seeking help from anybody, and I don't hate anybody either, just some countries' actions.

The previous administration was a disgrace to humanity and they changed the world - negatively.

They also changed the way many people view the US.

I just hope Obama and his group can change some of that.

Why do people usually 'seek help' on the same country they also hate?

I'm not pointing at you, bleu. I just got interested in your comments. It's usually common in plenty of people around here in the Gulf (or maybe anywhere around the world) to think that way...

I'll write it for the first time (I've never been this frank about my opinions on this subject), but if the "terrorists" hate the freedoms that the Americans enjoyed "They hate us for our freedom", then it seems that the terrorists have won...

The world lost all the decency it claimed to have: you only see the freedoms on TV, torture is a good way to get information, and it's OK to do preemptive strikes, just because you think they may attack you.

I just hope Obama and his group can change some of that.

Everything is tapped, I wouldn't be surprised if QTel logged every network packet and sends it to local authorities for analysis. I wouldn't even be surprised if it is sent to the US.

So what, they log everything and do some sort of Data mining...

And you'll always be flagged since you fit "The profile"

a merry can... there is a difference being a hater of certain Countries and wanting justice, we both know that- but do the general public understand it ? (after being brainwashed by the same authorities..? Most people believe blindly in their governments)

The Various Countries have always had an Enemy, one Time It was Communists, another time someone else, now it is People with a Certain religious Background

Actually it's usually the people who cannot communicate or don't want to communicate that gets the attention as 'Enemy'.

Vignale, you preaching to the choir dude!!

I am pretty hip to what their capabilities are....

I have been saying that for some time man (not being able to win). But people just paint me as an American hater.... They tend to do the same thing when you stand up in defense of something using the constitution... you notice that??

A Merry Can... You would be amazed what the Various do and have done when it comes to surveillance. Maybe they are better ? And being "blacklisted" has been easy to become over the Years. Surveillance is not something that appeared Post 9/11. The Various Countries have always had an Enemy, one Time It was Communists, another time someone else, now it is People with a Certain religious Background. It is crazy, unfair and stupid - But the Agencies would tell you that the Surveillance is a Success.... WE can never win the Battle against injustice, sad but true.

What do you expect from them.... 'They' control the dunya and are afraid of losing that control....

Vignale... As someone who is 'blacklisted' I can tell you that either the Europeans don't really care or are so much better at it than the Americans that you can't tell...

And is NSA the only agency in the world doing this???. I can assure you they are NOT. Most European "Security Agencies" are doing it - even to a greater extent than NSA. THe Asian Countries are not "virgins" in the Field Either, but due to the number of People they are more selective in their surveillance.
