   I know this doesn't necessarily belong in THIS article, but it's a general response to a lot of these governmental articles. Where are the debates at in the government? I never see debates taking place in Congress. I hear speeches

   that's cool! i hope they can take a beating though, because they look like a good swing could take them down, and the types of people that will be near the places their marketing have a tendencty to smash things.

   interesting observation. he wasn't mentioned in the original one either, i believe. This could be a good thing though. more whistleblowers. I have a feeling this is all part of the snowden thing though. just my feeling

   I agree. I think after 9/11, Americans were emotionally shocked into agreeing to all of this, not thinking what they were giving up. I get that, but it's been over 10 years. We need to snap out of it
