It's sad that this is the exact same conclusion I came to. I have zero confidence that executive powers like this won't somehow be abused to target Americans that pose no threat to national security.
- balabaster 12y agoI think "zero confidence" underplays it. The U.S. Government has a history of abusing their executive powers. Given their past behavior and not only a complete absence of remorse, but proactive justification of their abuses, it seems as though abuse of those powers is almost a foregone conclusion.
