And as usual, when I wrote I knew calls were intercepted
I was not paranoid, like some assume.
The USPA and FISA have been broadened to the point that assuming this is happening is a given.
Welcome to the total information state...remember that gem from the days

2. Neither am I.
But I have been accused of being paranoid...this never happens....domestic...I have assumed for years all calls to Mexico are intercepted...now I assumed all calls after we started working as reporters. It seems much earlier than that.
On the bright side the tera trillions of data seem to my eye almost unusable. Like drinking from a five inch fire hose. But the refinements will come.

4. Did you leap from metadata provided by Verizon to 'call interception'?
Or do you just want to assume the worst?

10. I guess you missed the program with Verizon
Even if it is "just meta data" they are still intercepting mega amounts of data. It takes foreign media to report on our not so free activities any longer
So unrec all you want, it will not erase reality

12. Missed the program? Yeah, the US media blows, but I guess that's something you DO know about.
Intercepting calls does not equal metadata no matter how much data is collected.

11. No calls were "intercepted". This wasn't wiretapping
It was metadata collection after calls were made and the records were obtained via a FISA warrant.
Please inform yourself before posting OP's like this.

16. I guess some of us get it, some of us don't

Surely since she's posting at one of the most partisan message boards on the web she misspelled again and meant to say "some of us are not Parisian".
So now she is an expert on wiretaps and signal intercepts. She must have gotten her training early watching Get Smart and Inspector Gadget.

That thing called my rights are not a partisan thing.
Feel better though, I have not been a good democrat since 2009, and for professional reasons (and now civil rights reasons) will not join either party, I don't think in the foreseeable future.
