Submission + - FBI Access to NSA Surveillance Data Expands In Recent Years (itworld.com)

itwbennett writes: The FBI’s access to email and other data collected from overseas targets in the NSA’s Prism program has been growing since 2008, according to a 2012 U.S. Department of Justice inspector general’s report declassified last Friday by the DOJ in response to a Freedom of Information Act request by the New York Times. Here are some of the milestones mentioned in the report: In 2008, the FBI began reviewing email accounts targeted by the NSA through the Prism program. In October 2009, the FBI requested that information collected under the Prism program be 'dual routed' to both the NSA and the FBI so that the FBI 'could retain this data for analysis and dissemination in intelligence reports.' And in April 2012, the FBI began nominating email addresses and phone numbers that the NSA should target in it surveillance program, according to the document.

Or try turning off your TV and actually meet some of the 1.6 billion muslims and you'll find that you're completely wrong.

I work with with a lot folks who have the Islam faith . . . but none of them would describes themselves as "Muslims". Hatice and Reha would tell you that they are Turkish, Karim will tell you that he is from Egypt, and Ali will tell you in better German then mine, that he was born in Germany.

None of them will tell you that they are "Muslim" . . . despite that their is their faith.

Insightful, my arse.

You should maybe pay more attention to your "arse" . . . it might have more intelligence than your brain . . .

I live in Europe and need to deal with these Muslim Troubles each day . . . I am really not looking forward to what the new on the TV will bring for me tomorrow.

Oh, a bunch of European leaders going to Paris? Take a quick glance at the security advises on CNN . . . the thing will be a Turkey Shoot for the Muslims!

Well, you, CaptianDork, are personally invited to travel to Syria or Irak to join the Islamic State or ISIS forces and join in their terrorist forces. They will be happy to "conform to the norm" of your opinions. Have fun! Don't let the door hi on your way out.

What are Christians doing to shut down the Westboro church?

If you look at the business plan of the Westboro church . . . it was not even a church at all. It was a scam organization run by lawyers. They would come out and bother you, and if you tried to do anything about it, they would sue you.

A lot of folks, Christians or whatever, were trying to do something about them. And the law enforcement knew everything about them.

But, when push comes to shove, those Westboro Wackos didn't take their AK-47s out for a romp, which Muslims are tending to do today.

If Westboro had done anything violent, the law enforcement would have taken them out. Not any "Christians". That's not their job.

You, sir, are an idiot.

I'm pleased to meet you, too! I guess birds of a feather, fly together.

The IRA were Christians, and there was plenty of Religious fuelled murder in Belfast (not Catholic? Sucks to be you). Given that Christianity espouses spreading the belief, should we assume then that all Christians support killing those with different beliefs.

"The Troubles" , as they are known in Ireland, were not about religion. It was about the Irish "Nationalists" and "Republicans" who wanted unity with Ireland, and the "Unionists" and "Loyalists", who wanted to stay with the Queen.

Conflating "The Troubles" and religious conflicts throws an NMI for me. Oh, NMI means "non-maskable interrupt" for you, kiddo. It was about sticking with the UK, or joining the Irish Republic. No religion here.

The Muslim terrorists are "doing their terror", because, what the fuck else should they do . . . ? Work in McDonald's?

Note, when I am flying in the USA, I am not afraid of "The Ohio Presbyterian Grandmothers' Association Luncheon." I know who the terrorists are.

That's why when I go through airport security, I call it, "The Islam Tax".

". . . which is exactly what Muslims are trying to do to us today, in OUR countries!" There is some truth in this, though they're just the 3rd Abrahamic religion to try it. They won't touch us Pagans!

This is why I don't believe that any political system should be based on a pile of Jewish Fairy Tales, that have been manipulated down the ages to control the general populace.

Most folks in Europe are beyond this religion thing. I remember reading that the average man in Denmark goes to church three times in his life: 1) When he gets born and baptized, 2) When he gets married, 3) When he dies, for his funeral.

I'm happy that many more folks in Europe impressed by works like these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T...

The scenario that you describe, is more or less already taking place . . . in the Islamic State. Ask a few Kurdish women how they have been handled by the Islamic State soldiers . . . whoops! They have all been sold off into sex slavery.

Since you made an oblique reference to what happened in Nazi Germany, I will respond to that. The Germans are rather intelligent folks, and it was very difficult for them to come to terms that they were following an evil ideology.

The same thing applies to Islam. It's just plain evil. It needs to be banned like Naziism. Just turn on your TV, and see what Islam is doing to the world today.

The West has been handling Muslims with kid gloves. It's time drop the gloves.

They've overstayed their welcome in liberal Western democracies.

It's time for them to go.

I'm not really upset about these wacky radical folks who commit such atrocities . . . but I am angry about the larger "moderate" Muslim communities that tolerate them. Look, back in High School, every kid knew who was dealing drugs, or up to other mischief. Every member of the Muslim community in your backyard knows who the radicals are. But, do they turn them in, to the authorities . . . ?

No, because they silently agree with them.

Muslims want the prosperity of liberal democracies, but wish for the draconian theocracy of the appropriately named "Islamic State". Let them go there.

When the USA was trying to form a liberal democracy Iraq and Afghanistan, what happened? A bunch of insurgencies with attacks with homemade bombs on the troops. Have you seen any such attacks in the Islamic State?

No, because the people there are Muslims, and that is what then want.

These Muslim problems can not be solved by outsiders. Only Muslims themselves could do that.

And until now, they have not managed to step up to the plate, and any statements from Muslim leaders have looked frighteningly apologetic.

It's up to you Muslims . . . it's your move. The rest of society have put up with enough of your shenanigans.
