"Remember the old CIA adage, you know their failures, but not their successes" This is horseshit for the stupid natives. Smoke and mirrors. We most certainly DO know their successes, and you would do yourself a better service to practice a little less naivete.
You're putting words in my mouth. You are on a soapbox about warrants and not really reading WHAT I'm saying. You're defining the issue for me, then telling me "what you're saying is" and this is not a good form of argument, especially when you've read my comments as completely wrong as you have.
You make an assertion "wiretaps work, they are good" THIS IS TOTAL BULLSHIT. You can't prove that they do, and if you could I'm certain that you would. That is EXACTLY my point. You're just parrotting their lines and expecting me to go along with your assertion, ironically.
I don't have any bigger point actually. I'm not defending legality or illegality, warrants versus non warrants or any of the other crap you claim I'm saying. You have it from me, in direct speech, live and in person.
And on that point, in your world all they have to do is prove that it WAS legal for it to be perfectly alright with you, and believe me they're not going to try. They are going to assert that it was legal TO THEIR BASE, and their base will buy it because it comes from unquestionable authority in defense of their shivering ass safety, because that's all that matters to them.
Wiretaps. Let's discuss. You use software to key into aural concordance algorithms looking for words like BOMB and ANTHRAX. Don't you think that people who really ARE involved in that stuff are just a tiny bit more cautious? I can assure you that anyone who has anything to worry about the law in this day and age (besides petty narcotics trafficking) does not discuss details on the phone, or at least not using terms, context or phrasing that a sniffer could pick up.
