I'm agains the NSA spying as well, but saying they haven't cited anything isn't the same thing as proving they haven't stopped terrorist attacks. Please don't

I'm agains the NSA spying as well, but saying they haven't cited anything isn't the same thing as proving they haven't stopped terrorist attacks.
Please don't read more into this than what I said.
- wmeredith 13y agoThe NSA existing in a state that doesn't stop terrorist attacks is the status quo (it's the same as them not existing at all). It doesn't need proving. If they want to spy on everyone in the world all the time and their reasoning is that it makes Americans safer, then the burden of proof is very much on them.
- gbhn 13y agoNot to mention that terrorists aren't the only thing the president is charged to protect citizens against.
- sliverstorm 13y agothe burden of proof is very much on them But who do they have to prove it to? The public, or the people they actually report to?
- wmeredith 13y agoThey're salaries are paid in tax dollars. The public is who they report to.
- sliverstorm 13y agoIndirectly, yes, but you are oversimplifying.
