Yes. A "moderate terrorist" is anyone in a roomful of conservatives who peacefully states that there is overwhelming scientific support for the reality of Global Warming.

I wonder how many conservative Americans who support all this spying also oppose background checks as a threat to the Second Amendment because they would lead inevitably to a gun registry. I also wonder if they understand information currently being collected with their blessing will be more than enough to compile quite an accurate registry.

"Metadata" isn't just a buzz word.

Thanks for demonstrating a level of understanding that is, sadly, rare in the community we're discussing.

Wish I had some mod points to push your answer higher. Thanks for the information.

Thank you. Your knowledge saved me a lot of scrambling around for half-remembered facts.

If the federal government was going to bring broadband to West Virginia, they should have gone in and installed it. Handing money to a Red State government for technology is like handing the remote control to your dog.

Come to think of it, I'd expect more from the dog.

So Chrome will show my what Google wants me to see much faster than Firefox will show me what I want to see.
