GLENN GREENWALD: The US Wants To 'Destroy Privacy Around The World'
Brett LoGiurato    | Jun. 7, 2013, 8:52 AM CNN

The journalist who took part in breaking two attention-grabbing stories on government surveillance charged that the United States is interested in destroying privacy all over the world.

"There is a massive apparatus within the United States government that with complete secrecy has been building this enormous structure that has only one goal," Greenwald said on CNN's "Piers Morgan Live" on Thursday. "And that is to destroy privacy and anonymity not just in the United States but around the world."

Greenwald's subsequent comments came just hours after The Guardian and The Washington Post both broke another bombshell report detailing a program dubbed as "PRISM." According to the reports, the program involves the National Security Agency and FBI tapping into the servers of nine leading Internet companies to extract information.

"The US" being the current administration and it's collection of political throwbacks.

slippery slope.  most people would think someone paranoid that believes they are being watched.  how much we depend on computers now lends a little credence to the notion we are being watched to some extent.   the perfect timing of this leaves open that the powers that be republicrats and demicans will use this to maintain their power structure by eliminating the opposition in a tea party irs way.

I always thought it amusing both republicans and democrats seem to be annoyed by the tea party in the extreme.

When it's GOPers in charge and it's baseless allegations of scandal, they are identified by party as trying to destroy the world. When it's libs in leadership positions the whole country gets indicted to avoid incriminating the libs.
