Mr. Graham said that he is a Verizon customer and has no problem with the company turning over records to the government if it helps it do its job. The South Carolina Republican said that people who have done nothing wrong have nothing to worry about because the NSA is mining the phone records for people with suspected ties to terrorism

" The South Carolina Republican said that people who have done nothing wrong have nothing to worry about....."

Uh..where have I heard that before?
Such a clear use of a false, twisted idea..

Whatever else may be significant, it is people who have 'nothing to worry about' but get caught up in the net..like dolphins...who DO have something to worry about.....

He and most of his colleagues have spent their entire careers helping to bring this and other totalitarian policies to fruition.
