NSA

I have been listening to this NSA debate with some curiosity at how “shocked” people are in thinking that this has only recently been happening. I have news for everyone; J. Edgar Hoover tapped citizens’ (that is right) citizens’ phones (without a court order), throughout his tenure. He put a tape recorder under Dr. Martin Luther King’s bed. He had files on JFK (and many American citizens).

No, this NSA revelation is amusing to me. Having worked in foreign affairs, American citizens would be dismayed with what their government has been doing, all in the name of preserving American democracy. No, actually; all in the name of preserving the “State,” (with a capital “S”).

In any event, I will be updating this blog periodically with interesting “tidbits” of intrigue about what has been going on. Stay tuned.
