Let me make some sense of that. If you order a pizza from someone that has a brother that he contacts on a regular basis, that has a boss, that has a conversation with someone that is pre-flagged as a al queda member, you are fully investigated....there's a tiered system that the puplic is unaware of. Like I stated before, the Bush administration is not only attacking those that contact our enemy over seas, but rather, investigates, wastes hour upon hour of time, investigating a tier of flagged guilty parties. This means you. Maybe you have nothing to hide, maybe the fact that a phone conversation you've had in the past may have been tapped, and this doesn't bother you, but look at the time wasted....and we all know the cliche saying, time is money.
Chances are, if you are one in 10 americans, you've had a conversation tapped into and have been flagged....and if you argue that this number is false, maybe your right and it's an assumption. But think of all the mass combinations of people...chances are, you know or are affiliated with someone that has been tapped.
I'm sorry, but this doesn't sit easy with me.
Sorry, DVP, but this just tore a massive hole in your argument against me.
You just made an argument on something that is made up. How do you know that many people get flagged because I called a pizza place who's unlce's brother's cousin is in Al Qaeda. By your logic every person in America is being listened in on and that is not feasibly possible. You have no more insight into the program than I do and nowhere credible did the scenario you paint ever come up.
You did not tear a hole in anything but made yourself look like a fool. Argue facts, not hogwash.
