Someone would blow the whistle. And then get tossed into solitary for three or four years and fed through the nose. Sure, that's likely to happen.
“We’re damn lucky as a country to have the kinds of technological capabilities we have to learn things about people who are planning to attack us, that we wouldn’t otherwise have,” said Joseph Lieberman, no longer even a Senator but still a clueless and somewhat inarticulate jerk, also in said no-link Globe.We're damn lucky to have you too, Joe. We have more entertaining dreams with you around.
Meanwhile the President and "other government officials" explain, "in order to actually listen in on [your] calls or read [your] e-mails, the government would need to gain another court order," or, to be clear about the thing, the government would have to obtain a warrant you are not allowed to see from a court you are not allowed to know about to look at whatever stuff they want to, and they don't have to tell you what it is. Nothing to worry about there, right? Move along.
And don't forget to be afraid of the terrorists. Everything depends on that.
