""The Hill reports, 'Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) predicted Sunday that lawmakers who favored shutting down the bulk collection of telephone metadata would not be successful in their efforts as Congress weighs potential reforms to the nation's controversial intelligence programs. "I don't believe so," Feinstein said during an appearance on NBC's Meet the Press (video). "The president has very clearly said that he wants to keep the capability So I think we would agree with him. I know a dominant majority of the — everybody, virtually, except two or three, on the Senate Intelligence Committee would agree with that." ... "A lot of the privacy people, perhaps, don't understand that we still occupy the role of the Great Satan. New bombs are being devised. New terrorists are emerging, new groups, actually, a new level of viciousness," Feinstein said. "We need to be prepared. I think we need to do it in a way that respects people's privacy rights."'"" In other words, "We need to violate people's privacy rights in a way that respects people's privacy rights." Jim Bell

Translation: New political parties threaten the Demopublican/Republicrat Duopoly, and we must protect the elite from any and all LibertiGeenian threats to the AmeriKan panopticon. Fortunately, the peddlers in the currency of Fear do not seem to be able to comprehend those who know not the fear of disclosure, and encourage the light of day to dark smoky rooms.
