"...we're not 'mining'..."

[SHRED]

By the very definition of looking for patterns, they are data mining.

FUCK YOU LIAR BU$H.

Like Randi is saying...this is so pre-war Germany it is striking.
Strikingly similar in that this is how the Nazis knew if you were Jewish, or gay, or Gypsy (hippie), or...

The Fascist corporate/police state is upon us hidden in the paranoia of the "war on terror" while wrapped in the flag as it pounds on the Bible.

1. You are right. By definition what NSA *does* is Data Mining

"Data Mining, also known as Knowledge-Discovery in Databases (KDD), is the process of automatically searching large volumes of data for patterns. Data Mining is a fairly recent and contemporary topic in computing."

2. I dare a reporter to ask Shrub to define Data mining!

He was real quick to say we're NOT doing it, but I bet he has no idea what it even means!

4. He..he...uh Data mining is uh...data mining.....he..he..and we don't

3. so what does Fascist George call it? "Collecting"? NO difference!

Either way, they're sucking up and saving that data and combing through it WITHOUT due cause, WITHOUT warrant, and WITHOUT our knowledge or consent.

WHAT? It depends on what your definition of IS is?

Bastard.
