Quote from syswizard:
That was my thought as well. After discussing this on another forum, even if you have proof of some bad guys doing bad things, the NSA WILL NOT provide any of their information to assist you in nabbing those bad guys. In other words, their information is NOT for law enforcement as perverse as that sounds.
Their information is for tracking you and me and if WE DO BAD THINGS, then they can use the information against US.
What a deal...eh ?
It is for use against political enemies like it always has been. The security they talk about is of the power base, ordinary folks. The same reasoning is why government overuses secrecy in the first place. The truth can topple governments.
