In reply to the discussion: Stop Freaking Out About the NSA [View all]chervilant
(8,267 posts)64. "Stop freaking out?"
I am not "freaking out," nor do I appreciate your condescension.
Obama's experience in constitutional law makes me wonder why Gitmo is still open, why drones have been used against US citizens, and why the Patriot Act has been expanded. This "wiretapping" controversy may be merely the newest chapter in the fearmongers' Playbook, but Mr Obama seems to be a contributing editor.
