YOU & I are all NAKED

NSA has refused to answer questions
about how many Americans they are
spying on.



"NSA has sent a letter saying that they refuse to reveal the number
 of Americans that they have spied on through provisions made in 
2008 to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), a 
legislation that allows the government to go through 
correspondence that they believe is being sent overseas. 
The reasoning, explains the NSA, is that informing Americans 
about any spying they may have been subjected to would be 
damaging to personal privacy."

Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Mark Udall (D-CO) appealed to the

NSA for an answer. And were rebuffed.


Office of the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community

is refusing to answer. The Inspector General.

In a response dated June 15 and made available to Wired, the Inspecto

r General dismisses their request with the explanation that a “review

of the sort suggested would itself violate the privacy of US persons.”

Additionally, Inspector General I. Charles McCullough says that

responding to the request would be “beyond the capacity” of the

Office of the NSA’s Inspector General, George Ellard, and that

“dedicating sufficient additional resources would likely impede

the NSA’s mission.”

George Ellard is fudging, he has a simple answer.

But he won't disclose it.


Lets look at the paradigm.
The threat now are lone wolves who on their
own initiative might launch an attack.
The most effective method to try and weed out
these lone wolves is to monitor EVERYONE.
And that is the simple answer Mr. Ellard
won't tell us.

Stuxnet Duqu and Flame are rootkit worms used
to combat Iran's attempt to gain a nuclear weapon.
And demonstrate the ability to penetrate any security
suite.  over 100 of them.

There are at least two more in the wild yet as undiscovered.
This presents the option of monitoring all computers in the 
world with an artificial intelligence application.


To ward off the lone wolves and protect America Obama
signed a finding allowing NSA to monitor everyone,
and resulted in Mr. Ellard telling the American public nothing
and by refusal to answer even to Congress exposed
the scope of the outrage if they admitted what they
were doing.

Even our cell phones are recording our voices,
not only are they searching for key words but
also key voices.

And they have been very effective, there have been
no successful attacks in CONUS.
Its like living in a vice, the tighter security is
the safer Americans are, and the more privacy
they loose.

Will Americans ever get their privacy back?
Very unlikely, the technology will mitigate to
the police as evidenced by the use of drones
by the police.

I grieve for the loss of American Freedom/Privacy
some how I thought it was guaranteed by the 
Constitution.

And even the President shouldn't be allowed
to usurp the Constitution.

Is privacy worth the cost of American civilian
lives, from the attack of some lone wolves.

Is the risk worth privacy?

I think it is.

Our BSU's have been monitoring al qaeda
wana bees world wide for quite a time and reporting same.
It used to be 15 or 20 a DAY.
in the past 3 weeks its been zero.

 I would support the NSA effort up to and for a period
after the attack on Irans nuclear plants.



Then this issue should be addresses.

Both Obama and Bush took extraordinary precautions
to protect America. When should our privacy
RETURN.
