Thanks to the "Patriot Act" and "Threat Fusion Centers," along with other such efforts to streamline the police state agenda in the name of the "War on Terror," government agencies have been sharing information more readily than in the past, apparently to the point of NSA derived intelligence being used in pursuit of drug dealers and tax cheats on US soil.
Of course people are aware of the intended functions of the various federal enforcement agencies, and the fact that these agencies are overstepping their mandate is why people make websites such as the one featured here.
The quotes you refer to are quite relevant, in my view.
