US Politics & Gov't  (tags: FISA, wiretapping )


- 621 days ago - nytimes.com

In any case we're on the verge of a "compromise," but the only things I see being compromised are our freedoms and the Democratic Party's alleged integrity.

Note, the guy doesn't go far enough about how bad this is...ALL internet is routed where the net is least busy, so a person in the US emailing another US person can have their email go outside our borders. Therefore it's everyone at risk.

Not satisfied with the hastily passed expansion of FISA, the Chief Spook is lobbying Congress not to sunset the bill - now repackaged as the "Protect America Act" - when it expires in January, but to expand its oversight permissions.

BEHIND THE SCENES: How the FISA Bill Got Passed - and COULD Be Overturned or Amended

RC

This Washington Post article is a long read but worth it. Get a peek at how "bizness" gets done in DC. AND - start pressuring your legislators to amend or get rid of the expansion - the new FISA bill only has a shelf-life of 180 days.
