Well, it seemed like a couple weeks ago people were all up in arms when the Greenwald story was delayed.
Thought conservatives might be interested in civil liberties.

If they want to put the NSA to good use in defending American's freedom...let em' go and pull up the Lerner emails to Jarret/Obama and open the TRUTH for the public to see.
BTW, profiling Muslims for potential links to radical Muslim terrorist is their job. As long as they are not corrupted like the IRS...whatever.

inb4 Decatur says there's an audit trail and while some information may slip through, it certainly is not being used.

Excellent article. Thanks.
Personally, I am concerned about the entire FISA oversight process. Probably the best comment in the article;
quote:
Indeed, the government’s ability to monitor such high-profile Muslim-Americans—with or without warrants—suggests that the most alarming and invasive aspects of the NSA’s surveillance occur not because the agency breaks the law, but because it is able to exploit the law’s permissive contours. “The scandal is what Congress has made legal,” says Jameel Jaffer, an ACLU deputy legal director. “The claim that the intelligence agencies are complying with the laws is just a distraction from more urgent questions relating to the breadth of the laws themselves.”
This is a tool in the hands of any President. And it has to have the appropriate oversight. Without the warrant or the finding of the FISA court, we have no way of knowing why they were monitored, or if they should have been.

Not sure if joking...
Last I checked, freedom of religion is still afforded to us as American Citizens.
Read the article. In one instance, the NSA used a fake name on a form - "MOHAMMED RAGHEAD." Anyone using that slur should not be deciding shite regarding surveillance under FISA.

Greenwald Reports: 5 Americans Targeted by NSA
They're Muslim, nobody will care
fricking sad sad sad what America has become and the people that will defend this blatant overreach by our government.

5 people with Muslim names does not traction get.
Just look at the blatant abuses that government agencies under Obama have gotten away with.
This isn't a smoking gun, it's a steaming sling shot.
Greenwald needs to step up his game, IMO. This isn't even worth swatting away for this administration.

So, are you concerned about the IRS as well?
Because I am concerned about both.

I have a TS-SCI. It is not signed off on (per se), but you do realize that you are subject to being monitored.

I would say this is an understatement. If the rationale for monitoring them was sound and unimpeachable, then it should stand the scrutiny of an independent review. Produce the evidence that their activities required additional scrutiny.
FISA and the NSA monitoring system are ripe for abuse.
