I think this has A LOT to do with the NSA wiretaps. Didn't Bush state that "NO DOMESTC CALLS" were being surveilled, that this was only about catching the terrorists?

And yet, we keep turning blind eyes, making excuses or saying there is nothing we can do...... what will it take.

For the love of God we are being violated and having all we hold dear torn from us and all people are doing is complaining, making excuses, turning blind eyes and saying we can't change anything.

We need the press to be able to hold their sources confidential so that their sources are not scared to come forth....... HOWEVER, we also need to hold the press accountable that the sources they use and the stories they break are factual.

What this OP shows is that the sources are now being compromised, that the bullshit about "No domestic calls" being monitored was a BOLDFACED LIE and that whether we want to believe it or not, sources to the press will now be ever more reluctant to ccome forth and feel the freedom to speak out.

This has to end, regardless of yourr politics if you can't see this is wrong and that the government is overstepping any and all it's boundaries and their duty to be held accountable to the people...... then perhaps instead of accusing those who speak out as being the communists and the weirdos and the ones who hate and wish to destroy this country.... you need look into the mirror and see the true person wanting to destroy this country, our freedoms and our ability to hold government accountable.

For some, it's blind hatred of the other political side and thus a blind following, for others it is their belief that as long as they play the game and do not make waves they will be ok...... both are sadly having their fears and greed used against them. Because when opposition dies, those in power begin to feast on their own and then it will be too late.

These things (our rights taken away) will keep snowballing and unless we stop them while we are able to, once they get big enough, we don't stand a chance.

Because without a free press, without sources being able to tell their story and remain anonymous and safe..... we will never again have the tools to hold government accountable.

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
