Comment OSS is in most trouble (Score 1) 424
You keep talking about how the NSA has been doing this for years and how the NSA should get in trouble for doing illegal wiretaps. But arent you at all recognizing the OSS.
The Office of Strategic Services tells the NSA to do the wiretaps. By making a law stating that illegal wiretaps are beoming illegal, do you really belive that this will stop the NSA and OSS and CIA? NO! It wont becasue these people have been going aroung the law for years. I am always being made aware of everything going on with these branches (as well as FBI branch, but besides the point)and I can tell you that for the last two years, thee branches have had many cases stating that what they are doing is illegal.
But they always win becasue they say that it is a matter of National Securtiy. Another example of this happening is from an interview with Nixon in 1977 "...where the president can decide that it is in the best interest of the Nation or something,and do something illegal?" His response was "Well, when the president does it that means that its not illegal." Saying that they can use FISC isnt goint to help him eavedrop on his citizens for it specializes in Foriegn wiretaps. The OSS is in trouble becasue now they have to actually focuse their attention on important stuff, such as Wars and matters of national security.
I really like this new law, but I can see why others may not
