» Christine Scivicque - Totally disgusting

I'm just sickened by the wire tapping and blatent abuse of power that is going on in the United States. I hate it when I hear people say they don't have a problem with being watched or listened to because they aren't doing anything wrong. It's a principle that we, as Americans, believe in our civil liberties and freedom from an over zealous government. We should not have to be subjected to this kind of threat against our freedoms. Was it Ben Franklin who said something about those willing to give up freedom in exchange for safety deserve neither?

Ben Franklin did say that.

Do you believe the U.S. government should be permitted to listen in on conversations taking place between people in the U.S. and suspected terrorist cells overseas?

I'm not talking about the U.S. listening in your phone call to your friend across town.

What do you think?
