Upon hearing (click here) that the FBI sought and received the phone data from millions of Verizon customers using Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act, Republican Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner expressed dismay....
Let's just go there.
The worst has happened, we have another "W" in the White House.
What are you going to do about China? And would it not be better to have a USA program that is doing the work that China would be doing, but, perhaps bumping up the data in reporting suspected terrorism in the USA.
What are you going to do with that? China just collected data without Verizon knowing it and has reported to the USA there are going to be terror attacks within the USA and they can prove it. Now what are you going to do?
Would it not be better to have a USA program that looks at all this meta data to KNOW what is transpiring in the country and can no immediately if another nation is trying to cause problems within the USA? Or would it better to allow China to know more than our own government does.
Don't avoid the question. What are you going to do about it?
China has just called Rep. Sensenbrenner with information about terror attacks. What happens next? The USA doesn't have a program to know what activity China is talking about, so does Sensenbrenner issue demands for the FBI to make arrests immediately? Or does Sensenbrenner submit the information to the FBI stating, what can you tell me about this according to our information?
Answer those questions and then you'll find out what national security is all about.
