NSA has your phone records; 'trust us' isn't good enough

If you wanted our trust you and your administration, you shouldn't have lied to us about everything since, and including, 9/11.

This program is not helping track terrorists, according to NSA analysts, so who is it tracking?

USATODAY.com - NSA has your phone records; 'trust us' isn't good enough:

"The government is secretly collecting the phone records of millions of Americans.

Stop and think for a moment about the meaning of that simple, startling fact, exposed Thursday in a remarkable report by USA TODAY's Leslie Cauley.

In the narrowest interpretation, of course, it is benign. Possibly even helpful. It means that the National Security Agency (NSA), the Pentagon-run spy agency that monitors communications, is using a new tool to hunt terrorists: Monitor phone traffic to identify threats and stop them.

This is all it means, President Bush told the public Thursday in a brief appearance aimed at quelling the instant outrage provoked by the story. He assured Americans that their civil liberties were being 'fiercely protected' and that the government was 'not mining or trolling through the personal lives of millions of innocent Americans.'

In other words, never mind appearances. Trust us."

When hell freezes over, you lying SOB!
