    It is both funny and sad that those elitists who aggressively seek the giant big-government in order to control peoples lives in all areas, pretend to be concerned about the surveillance of terrorists.

    Hell, Hillary did more domestic spying in the Whitehouse, getting those domestic FBI files, than all the satallite spying on terrost calls ever.
