It still bugs me that civilian Americans are outraged at domestic spying even when it is primarily aimed at terrorist suspects.......

Sorry, average American, the CIA isn't tapping your phone because you don't know what to buy for your friends birthday.


The problem we have is that the definition of "terrorist suspect" can easily change to meet somebody's needs. I myself am a fan of a controversial political group that can be considered "terrorist" by some individuals. Under the current "guilty by association" method, I could be arrested for liking the wrong combination of people on Facebook.

Well if you "like" the Hezbolah Facebook group for example, if one such exists, then I suppose that would qualify you for wire tapping in their eyes, since you would in some way share their ideals, in theory. But if you have nothing to hide then they don't care about little infraction you happen to say and will move on to someone else. Its meant to find things that can compromise national security.
