The Bush and Obama Justification for Mass Surveillance Has Been Debunked (topinfopost.com)

I thought this was common knowledge. All those reports that Bush was said to have been supplied with prior to 9/11, even days before.

It's no surprise that spying is ongoing. The sheer scale of the surveillance is what really irks me.

Hopefully if anything good comes out of these NSA disclosures, it will be more attention brought to pre-9/11 data collection processes and the interpretation of the Patriot Act, especially Section 215.
