Hating our freedoms

The Federal government is illegally wiretapping US citizens -- ATnT whistleblower Mark Klein to the Senate: there's "a huge, massive dragnet on everybody in the US."

"[T]hey were copying everything flowing across the Internet cables, and the major Internet links between AT&T’s network and other company’s networks, and it struck me at the time that this is a massively unconstitutional, illegal operation.

"It affects not only AT&T’s customers, but everybody, ‘cause these links went to places like Sprint, Qwest, a whole bunch of other companies, and so they’re basicallly tapping into the entire Internet.

"These installations only make sense if they’re doing a huge, massive domestic dragnet on everybody, in the United States."
