and authoritarian U.S. Executive power for the last 50 years, the events
of the past few months have been exciting. The emergence of a de facto
coalition of progressives and conservatives opposing the National Defense ... MOREJerry Brito: How Much Surveillance Can We Accept?
Are the watchers worthy of our trust? Three months after Edward Snowden’s leaks began to reveal the extent of the U.S.’s mass surveillance program, “serious people” are beginning to make the case that it’s time for the outrage and indignation to subside and give way to a “national conversation” about the future of surveillance. ...

Reuters reporters this week that a secret branch of the DEA called the

That question goes ... MOREVIDEO: Obama To Leno: "There Is No Spying On Americans"

MOREAnthony Gregory: The War On Terror Is A War On Freedom
