This is Wire Tap*

Al Gore stole a march on the ACLU & CCR (not the one you're thinking of) during a speech on Monday before two johnny come lately civil liberty groups, but the point is, the NSA is listening to your phone calls and reading your email and you will never know. Christopher Hitchens thinks he's a victim (no surprise there) & so has joined the suit. Cranky bastard. It's a bit of a /we can't tell you who we're watching because that would violate national security/ situation (sound familiar?) But they don't think they need warrants and they're not accountable. And if there's anything Americans hate more than being told /no/, it's an absence of accountability.

I'm just saying, it's a hell of a way to celebrate Dr. King's birthday.
