Quote by: xyzer Posts on this thread indicate no one is aware that the surveillance(not wire tap) was done in wartime to seek advanced intelligence of terrorist intentions.. It did not target US citizens but surveilled traffic of known terrorist and sought to see if there was any indication or terrorist plans to blow up people in the US. Only those messages that met certain key phrases were involved. Do any of you know of any US citizens prosecuted as a result of this activity?

At this point, I couldn't care less about US citizens.... this is in relation to my own personal freedoms and rights that this law plans on jumping all over and many other's around the world.... this adds one more pile of crap on my Mistrusting the US scale.

Do you seriously expect me to believe that this will only be used against "Terrorists" or those who threaten the US security? "Terrorist" and "US Security" seem to be open to interpretation by many in your powers.

Case in Point is Arar..... and in fact there is some even more interesting news about his illegal capture and torture by the US that was just recently released, which I will post shortly since I just remembered.

Note!!!No US civilians have been brought to the bar through this surveillance!

What makes you think everyone in these forums are from the US and actually care that it doesn't directly affect US citizens? This relates directly to the rest of the world's international security from the US, and the US shifting from the World Police, to the World Goon Squad.

Note 2. We haven't been attacked again since 9/11!

Nor has Canada.... in fact technically we haven't been attacked by Terrorists yet since or just before 9/11.... we don't need useless spying garbage that infringes on other's rights around the world like this scum bag Bush plans on doing....

Mind you, we have had attempts and we've stopped them..... But since 9/11 so have you guys....

Note 3 FISA delays were crucial in this terrorist scenario where instantaneous evidence might save lives

Delays..... you're complaining about delays? Those so-called delays are there to make sure things are done right..... NOT LIKE IRAQ! The UN had proceedures and agreed there wasn't enough evidence to assist in an invasion of Iraq.... yet you peons followed Bush to your slow and inevitable distruction..... and the more you guys continue to support any cockamany plan his moronic brain can think up, the closer and quicker you guys come to the end of the country you once were.

Get with it guys, this is a wartime scenario and the President is Commander in Chief of our forces charged with defending(protecting us) Isn't it logical that advanced notice of enemy intentions is crucial?

Get with it.... haven't you figured out thus far that everything Bush has and is doing is all based around lies and deception for his own personal agenda, not for your protection and your country? There wouldn't be a war time scenario if you guys used your dam brains in the first place and not supported Bush in his invasion of Iraq.
