Is there any guarentee that this will be the only thing they'll look at. Remember that the Pentagon is apparently spying on peace groups, listing them in a threat database and ordering extra surveillance.

So how much longer until it becomes those who democratically oppose the current administration. With no oversight and protection as afforded by the FISA courts, its very possible. There's a wonderful quote by a German paster from the second world war that applies: First They Came for the Jews First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.
