If we cut up beasts simply because they cannot prevent us and because we are backing our own side in the struggle for existence, it is only logical to cut up imbeciles, criminals, enemies, or capitalists for the same reasons.
C. S. Lewis
In a new interview, the former head of the National Security Agency’s global digital data gathering program – William Binney – says that “not doing anything wrong” isn’t grounds for avoiding trouble:
The problem is, if they think they’re not doing anything that’s wrong, they don’t get to define that. The central government does.
Binney also confirms that the pervasiveness of spying under Obama has only “gotten worse”.
And he notes that the government will go after anyone who is on its enemies list:
If you ever get on their enemies list, like Petraeus did, then you can be drawn into that surveillance.
As our enemies have found we can reason like men, so now let us show them we can fight like men also.
Thomas Jefferson
