by contrast Clinton had used this "legal nuclear bomb" half a dozen times.
Yeah, and look where it got us. He bombed civilian structures in Serbia, and a recessing economy.
25 million people are not terroists. It's the fact that congress isnt looking into this for us, and the media is that makes us mad.
Do you mean 25
0 million people? If not, I don't understand what you're saying.
Of course, I'm not worried when they look at my international call list, or even my domestic call list. Know why? I'm not a terrorist.
I just want to know:
what are you afraid of them knowing by looking at your call list?
Hehe, snort snort, this guy called for phone sex 28 times. That was after he ordered the fleshlight. What a fucking loser. Hehehe, snort snortNo. This is everyone.
The AT&T thing is new. MetaL did NOT link to the AT&T thing, he linked to the NSA tapping thing that I described in my post.
I saw a poll on ... the news, CNN or something, today that said 65% of Americans accept the phone tapping/call database and 35% don't like it
WTF people, come on, this is getting down right scary.
The
one and only problem I could see this being for is if politicians in power (or politically-motivated bureaucrats) use the program to damage political opponents. Uncool.
As it turns out, on a related note, a friend of mine who works for a major bank chain says she uses Myspace during the hiring process to determine whether to hire someone.
As far as I can tell, they're building a who-calls-who network. That way, if your friend talks to terrorists, they can pull you in too. That's probably not true, but eh?
That idea would probably not go anywhere.
No American jury would convict someone because he talked to someone who talked to a terrorist. Now, if he talked to someone who talked to a terrorist, and then blew shit up, probably all three could be implicated.
On the side note, as I linked to GS's post above (about the
Fleshlight (different post)), I would just like to point out that it's not entirely difficult to resolve an internet handle (particularly one like mine, which has historically been associated with my real-name email address), and have talked about people's real names, that shit you say on the internet that is persistent is FAR more dangerous than what you say on the phone, since the internet is public domain and easily-accessible.
