> I generally support the mission of the US intelligence community We no longer have the freedoms the US intelligence community is supposed to be defending. They have already failed us. edit: Sure, we have some freedoms, but they are vestigial. In principle, we do not. This is obvious with respect to not being subject to warrantless search and seizure: we officially live in an Orwellian surveillance society. But our freedoms are (less obviously) withering in all other areas as well.
