Quotation of the Day for February 27, 2015"...this is not "surveillance," it's "data collection." They say it is done to keep you safe. They're wrong. There is a huge difference between legal programs, legitimate spying, legitimate law enforcement -- where individuals are targeted based on a reasonable, individualized suspicion -- and these programs of dragnet mass surveillance that put entire populations under an all-seeing eye and save copies forever. These programs were never about terrorism: they're about economic spying, social control, and diplomatic manipulation. They're about power." - Edward Snowden [http://www.cnn.com/2013/12/17/world/americas/snowden-nsa-brazil-letter/] Submitted by: Rob Wood Feb. 18, 2015  |
