I agree with you in general, but this is not the smoking gun you are suggesting.
Once someone is a target, investigating them in general is legitimate, assuming that there is justification for regarding them as such.
- rhizome 13y agoWhat definition of "target" are you using here? Is the NSA/FBI/CIA/GCHQ/etc. using the same definition?
- gress 13y agoIt doesn't matter all that much. The point is that it's targeted collection - not a general scoop. It absolutely matters how broad the targeting is, but that is a separate question.
- RexRollman 13y agoConsidering the government has "targeted" political dissidents and protesters, I would say the definition is basically everyone.
