The NSA says that Congress knew about all this, but its members were prohibited from telling the American people. What kind of a democracy is that?

Fox News Forum
by US Senator Rand Paul (R-KY)
06/12/13
In the United States, we are supposed to have a government that is limited with its parameters established by our Constitution. This notion that the federal government can monitor everyone s phone data is a major departure from how Americans have traditionally viewed the role of government.

Covering up indiscriminate killing

CounterPunch
by David Swanson
06/18/13
Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., was founded by televangelist Jerry Falwell. Its publications carry the slogan 'Training Champions for Christ since 1971.' Some of those champions are now being trained to pilot armed drones, and others to pilot more traditional aircraft, in U.S. wars. For Christ...

Edward Snowden s Worst Fear Has Not Been Realised, Thankfully
Glenn Greenwald
Edward Snowden told me he had only one fear. It was that the disclosures he was making, would fail to trigger a worldwide debate because the public had already been taught to accept that they have no right to privacy in the digital age.
