NSA: Redefining Abortion

The National Security Agency (NSA) has violated the US Constitution around a thousand times every year since Barack Obama has been president. An internal audit and a handful of Top Secret documents delineated how the NSA put US citizens under surveillance and foreign intelligence targets within the USA. In order to do this within the law, an executive order and statute are required, neither of which were obtained in the cases cited. There were other violations that were referred to as office typographical errors that resulted in phone call and email interceptions. Oops.



Edward Snowden, traitor or whistle-blower (the jury is still out), had turned over documents to the Washington Post indicating how the NSA would keep Congress out of the loop by not telling it everything. Some NSA personnel were also instructed to keep things generic when giving information to the Department of Justice and the Director's Office of National Intelligence. Heaven forbid the Director of National Intel be given actual intel; that might make him accountable for something. NSA also failed to explain in any detail how it spied on Americans "accidentally." That's like flying across the Snake River Canyon on a Harley accidentally.

"We are a human-run agency operating in a complex environment with a number of different regulatory regimes, so at times we find ourselves on the wrong side of the line," a top-level NSA official who asked to be anonymous said, not willing to define what he meant by the term "line."

He babbled on: "You can look at it as a percentage of our total activity that occurs each day. You look at a number in absolute terms that looks big, and when you look at it in relative terms, it looks a little different."  

What this NSA top-level official who asked to remain anonymous evidently meant by all this garbage is that if there's a lot to do, and you do it every day, you are going to screw up, like forgetting to tell Congress the real story or accidentally tapping someone's phone when wishing Granny a happy eighty-seventh birthday. Oops. 

Remember, in October 2011, the courts declared this type of activity by the NSA unconstitutional. Maybe NSA forgot or didn't get the memo. We can only hope that President Barack Hussein Obama can find time in his vacation schedule to address immediate solutions on the David Letterman Show. After all, the American people deserve a solution to this illegal behavior, and Dave deserves equal time to Jay.

My latest novel, Jihad Joe, is about Islamic terrorism and suspense.  In it I challenge the precepts of the religion through my protagonist, Zed Nill, a journalist, captured by terrorists and who is destined to be killed if the American President refuses to release three Gitmo prisoners.  Of course, American policy demands we never give in to terrorists, and for Zed, the clock is ticking.
