Right On Joe!

Scarborough: Be Afraid, be very afraid

Scarborough: Now, whatever you consider yourself, friends, you should be afraid. You should be very afraid. With over 200 million Americans targeted, this domestic spying program is so widespread, it is so random, it is so far removed from focusing on al Qaeda suspects that the president was talking about today, that it's hard to imagine any intelligence program in U.S. history being so susceptible to abuse...

I'm actually starting to like this guy.

I'd also like to point out the above reference to possible abuse of the information that's gathered. The indefensibility of this program becomes pretty apparent when its supporters throw out the old red herring that phone companies and other businesses already keep this kind of data so why should anybody be bothered that the government is doing it? That's ludicrous on it's face. If the phone company decides to abuse that data maybe I get annoying solicitations during dinner or more junk mail. The government has significantly more power to make my life unbearable.
