Live coverage of NSA testimony at House hearing, if anyone is interested

10. Well, that's part of the propaganda they are giving to the media. I watched one of their media

puppets trying to 'look serious' and 'neutral' the other night droning on about the British Terror Cell that was exposed. He tried to look 'neutral' by working the 'report' he was giving on how it was exposed. Not one time was he able to, nor did he try, to explain how collecting phone American's phone numbers (can't they just use the yellow pages anyhow) had anything to do with that case.

But nevertheless after telling this whole 'scary story' about that 'terror cell' he finished by saying something along the lines of the NSA's claims of having helped with that. If you knew nothing about any of this, you would walk away hearing only 'terror cell exposed' 'NSA' somehow involved. And that is how they do it. He was NOT asked to explain exactly how that cell was exposed, which had zero to do with the NSA's data collection on Americans.

Alexander is using the same tactic here. Throwing out 'terror' (god, they will never end terrorism, what woud they use to justify all the money if they did?) and 'NSA' and making claims with nothing backing them up. But some idiots will just hear they caught terrorists using phone numbers, and that's okay with me.
