You miss the point.

Wholesale trolling of this sort is specifically _illegal_.

You're seriously not trying to argue that there's no problem
with this sort of lying and specific side-stepping of U.S. law,
are you?

Sorry -- I'm not going to be sucked into a discussion of this
sort. I'll voice my opinion, move on, and vote the bums out in
November. :-)

I think they can still make that claim, since they're essentially just
collecting router logs - not listening into communications.

A fine line, but all the more fun to watch them dance on it. I mean,
no one really believes the US and China are the only countries spying
on its own people. Do you?

Is it me, or do I correctly recall Alberto Gonsales standing in
front of a podium and saying recently that (paraphrasing) "We are
not conducting surveillance on domestic communications"?

I know I wasn't delusional.  :-/
