The real capabilities and behavior of the US surveillance state are almost entirely unknown to the American public because, like most things of significance done by the US government, it operates behind an impenetrable wall of secrecy. But a seemingly spontaneous admission this week by a former FBI counterterrorism agent provides a rather startling acknowledgment of just how vast and invasive these surveillance activities are.

We certainly have ways in national security investigations to find out exactly what was said in that conversation. It's not necessarily something that the FBI is going to want to present in court, but it may help lead the investigation and/or lead to questioning of her. We certainly can find that out.

All of that stuff is being captured as we speak whether we know it or like it or not.

Yes the US is rapidly becoming a police state. And this from a nation that prides itself on being the HOME OF THE FREE and who believes it has a GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, AND FOR THE PEOPLE. The reality is we have a government of the government, by the government, and for the government. What a terrible irony.

Some Americans are awake to this tyranny. Hopefully a majority will soon wake up.

After the Boston bombings, few Americans were/are clamoring for MORE governmental action. Maybe we are finally recognizing the tyrannical nature of unlimited government. But action to stop it will be difficult when government, the media, and the elites are all in bed together.

This from the column you posted...
Some new polling suggests that Americans, even after the Boston attack, are growing increasingly concerned about erosions of civil liberties in the name of Terrorism. Even those people who claim it does not matter instinctively understand the value of personal privacy: they put locks on their bedroom doors and vigilantly safeguard their email passwords. That's why the US government so desperately maintains a wall of secrecy around their surveillance capabilities: because they fear that people will find their behavior unacceptably intrusive and threatening, as they did even back in 2002 when John Poindexter's TIA was unveiled.
Mass surveillance is the hallmark of a tyrannical political culture. But whatever one's views on that, the more that is known about what the US government and its surveillance agencies are doing, the better. This admission by this former FBI agent on CNN gives a very good sense for just how limitless these activities are.
 
NSA Utah ‘Data Center’: Biggest-ever domestic spying lab?

The biggest-ever data complex, to be completed in Utah in 2013, may take American citizens into a completely new reality where their emails, phone calls, online shopping lists and virtually entire lives will be stored and reviewed.
