Even the U.S. government disagrees with the terrorist howey, the one who wants an american citizen droned and locked away in Guantanamo.

The head of the U.S. government’s vast spying apparatus has conceded that recent surveillance efforts on at least one occasion violated the Constitutional prohibitions on unlawful search and seizure.
The admission comes in a letter from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence declassifying statements that a top U.S. Senator wished to make public in order to call attention to the government’s 2008 expansion of its key surveillance law.

'GCHQ is worse than US', says whistleblower Edward Snowden as he claims British spies are collecting huge amounts of data from internet and phone calls


  • Operation Tempora sees agency storing web and telephone data for 30 days
  • Access to innocent people's phone calls, e-mails and even Facebook entries
  • Collecting general public's communication data as well as targeted suspects
  • Sharing sensitive data with U.S. counterpart the National Security Agency
  • NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden charged with espionage in the U.S.
  • Says GCHQ 'worse than the U.S' in terms of 'suspicionless surveillance'
  • Cheltenham-based agency said it was 'scrupulous' in complying with law

British eavesdropping agency GCHQ has secretly accessed fibre-optic cables carrying huge amounts of internet and communications data, according to documents disclosed by whistleblower Edward Snowden.

The agency is able to tap into and store data - including phone calls and e-mails between innocent people - from the cables for up to 30 days so it can be analysed under an operation codenamed Tempora, the Guardian reported.

The Cheltenham-based agency would not comment on intelligence matters but insisted it was 'scrupulous' in complying with the law.

all of oceania sucks. I am fucking moving to iceland with snowden and just going to listen to sigur ros the whole time
 
criiminal actions have no legal protections, therefore the government only has the power to prosecute snowden based on the majority of howies being pussy cowards afraid of terrorism
 
Perhaps I am naive, but I believe that at this point in history, the greatest danger to our freedom and way of life comes from the reasonable fear of omniscient State powers kept in check by nothing more than policy documents.
