[privacy] Google Actively Aiding Intelligence Agencies?

Hey, I'm just the messenger... :-)

Former intelligence officer Robert David Steele recently appeared on
the Alex Jones show to make the provocative claim that Google is
currently cooperating with secret elements in the US government,
including the CIA.

Steele, who now runs OSS.net and is a proponent of open source
intelligence, said that "Google has made a very important strategic
mistake in dealing with the secret elements of the U.S. government—that
is a huge mistake and I'm hoping they'll work their way out of it and
basically cut that relationship off." In his view, Google's attempt
earlier this year to avoid turning over information to the Department
of Justice was little more than a hypocritical charade.
