Did you know that the government doesn't need a court order to view or monitor phone records? They just need to call someone and the three companies that are co-operating with their requests are just handing them over. No questions asked! I have nothing to hide or worry about, but how can this not be some kind of civil rights violation? If they can just take this without any problems, what is next? Our freedoms are being changed to best fit the needs of those who are in high places that think that they need them.
Our country is losing many battles within it, and yet most people do not notice or are apathetic to what is really going on. Not paranoid, but rather a concerned citizen that wants to know if this is what the new price of freedom is going to be...
Anybody have any thoughts (or for those of you in other countries what is going on in the way of fighting the war against terror that has changed the way things are done in your country)?
