"You're why we can't get jack shit done in congress - people like you.."

Well you turned rather insulting.

You are the one that shrank the topic from 'streets' to 'US streets.' Just as you have done to others in this thread.

Could you acknowledge how having control is indeed having control? These installations didn't just trip and fall into place.

The rightful distinction between a political story and a story with politicians involved, yes.

This just feels part-way there, if you get my drift. I fully appreciate the focus on the details given by many here while avoiding the trap.

"Because, if you'll recall, that's what we were talking about."

This thread is called 'The NSA Is Commandeering the Internet.' Throughout it you have been attempting to diminish or shift the subject to "US citizens on US soil."

Please stop.

edit: I just noticed you took the subject of CIA renditions and attempted to turn it into a "US citizens on US soil" subject as you have done to the others in this thread. While completely ignoring the subject you made the response to.

What the heck, guy.

Not sure what to think of this story. I would appreciate less political content on 'hacker/startup news.'

That said there is no doubt what Hastings was working on would touch many in the tech community.
