Has anyone thought about the fact that the NSA's snooping--illegal and immoral, if you ask me--has some very far-reaching social answers to sought-after questions?
By all accounts, the NSA has been reading Americans' email, phone conversations, etc. for quite some time (how long? I haven't seen the answer to that question asked or answered in the media) so they--the NSA--should know the answer to quite a few issues:
*Who used illegal drugs in professional sports
*Who cheated in Wall Street deals
*Which politicians are corrupt
*Where are America's most-wanted criminals
Having such an extensive database would presumably give the NSA access to the knowledge to answer some of these questions.
They claim the information-tapping is put to use in fighting terrorism, but what about all of the other potential uses? Who decides? Does the U.S. have a Minister of Secrets?
