ACLU lawsuit
The ACLU is suing the National Security Agency for violating the U.S. Constitution.
I quote from the ACLU site:
The illegal NSA spying program authorized by President Bush just after September 11, 2001, allows the NSA to intercept vast quantities of the international telephone and Internet communications of innocent Americans without court approval.
Without a system of checks and balances, the government can monitor any phone call or e-mail they want, and they can collect and disseminate any data they find however they like. Just knowing that the government is spying without cause on innocent Americans sends a chilling message to all of us that our conversations are not our own.
They are absolutely right and I have no doubt that they will win in court.
