Dick Clarke (the 911 critic) was the narrator:

Interesting factoid he repeatedly points out.

Terrorists were not discovered by the massive invasion of privacy of USA's citizens by its own government -

they were discovered by alert citizens.

Here's the link

Sad to say, I am not surprised.

1. FYI - We Canuks pay attention to what's going on in the USA

.
.
.

and we are rightfully concerned.

These attacks are getting too close to home.

2. The government has gone insane

with regard to privacy issues. It's been going on for some time, but they're completely off the rails now with all this surveillance business. It's really disturbing.

I like to think that Alaska is somehow immune from it all since we're way up here away from the rest of the US, but I know I'm only dreaming. The eyes are in the sky.

4. The eyes are in the sky. - yup

.
.

there is no real privacy anymore.

you'd have to have some VERY serious firewalls to protect your computer/net stuff from anyone that is interested. It hasn't worked for the FBI, CIA and all those other organizations . . .

And ya can't hide under the trees with all that heat-seeking capability.

But hang on a moment . . .

How is it we can't get a definite grab on what Israel has been/is doing . . . ??
