19 minuets ago the Associated Press released it's findings that the FBI criminally used the patriot act to obtain illegal infromation from business and phone companies regarding personal infromation on American Citizans. Hey, I am no fool, I am sure this has been hapening for decades, but now the truth is out. America is not a free country and today I find shame in my government. I am not ashamed to be an American or to be part of what our fore fathers wanted, I am ashamed for we have and are becoming.... Where and when will this end. I hate you george bush and dickless cheney you both have ruined everything this country ever stood for. Yesterday a young man from Germany told me I was lucky to be from America, today, he is wrong. We need to impeach this idiot now. He is a murdering criminal and by the way.... Just how many abortions did your right winged hero prevent? This may be a sader day the 9/11.

So some FBI agents overstepped their bounds and got caught.
Kind of demonstrates that the system works and protects our freedoms.
Exactly what is your problem?

I am sorry, but the FBI is definitely not Gestapo. I surely hope you are not one of these people who doesn't take the time to go and vote, but gripes and complains about it when you don't like what is happening in the United States. In my opinion, that is the worse kind of hypocrite that walks on the face of the earth!

I sympathise, and like you I'm worried. I'm a Brit, and I can remember the wonderfully optimistic feeling that surged through the country when Blair was elected - and it was genuine, there's no doubt about that. And now I feel like you about my own government. The recitation of its faults would be too long and most of it obvious, but we're beginning to move to a surveillance society where before long the government will know just about all there is to know about us. Furthermore, it's clear that they can't be trusted to manage that information properly - their management of IT systems is a joke - and it's not possible to hold them to account either. It's hardly possible to imagine what goes on in Blair's mind when he contemplates the gulf between the promise and the reality; and, saddest of all in my view, is that the situation we're now in with the Middle East is one for which it's impossible to imagine a good solution.
Have a handshake signal, at least. You're not alone.

I feel your pain man.
But I refuse to feel it any longer. I have developed the "I don't care anymore" attitude because I see no hope to return this country to the way it was because there is no effort in returning this country to the way it was supposed to be.

What a double standard you live. You believe and agree that the tapping and such have been going on for decades, correct?? Then blame it all on Bush and Cheney?? You are truly a PATHETIC American.

yes and the liberals who voted against the patriot act were accused of enabling the terrorist, but this is exactly the sort of thing they were trying to prevent. who hates america now, wingnuts?
