The Army, Navy and Air Force are SPYING ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. There I go shouting again. No reason for outrage? Consider for a moment if a few of the recent news articles were rewritten for more accuracy.
The United States Army has been secretly collecting the phone call records of tens of millions of Americans ~ USA Today 5-11-2006How does that make you feel? As bad as it is that our government has a massive, encompassing campaign to spy on us, it is worse that the campaign is run out of the Pentagon. There are many examples in world history where a country's military spied on its own citizens. From the Nazi Schutzstaffel though the DINA of Pinochet's Chile and Agentina's Dirty War, domestic military spying leads to domestic horrors.
Rice authorized the Pentagon to spy on UN Security Council in run-up to war ~ Raw Story, 12-27-2005
President Bush secretly authorized the Armed Forces to eavesdrop on Americans and others inside the United States ~ New York Times, 12-16-2005
Military personnel have been spying on a Baltimore anti-war group ~ Raw Story, 1-10-2006
By definition, the military spies on the nation's enemies. When they begin spying on us, they have decided that the American People are the enemy. When a military identifies an enemy it wants to wage war on that enemy. Unchecked, NSA spying will lead inevitably to the American military waging war against the American people.
I have to give the NSA credit where it is due. For a supersecret spy agency, they have an amazingly well designed web site, a museum, and even a park. In their Frequently Asked Questions section (a supersecret FAQ is just weird) they point out how socially responsibility they are. They do blood drives and recycle pizza boxes. I'm so reassured.

Unfortunately, one of the worst aspects of Bush's illegal surveillance program is that it has destroyed the reputation of one of America's most effective agencies. There was a time, not to long ago, when NSA held to their charter which is, in fact, quite strict and quite specific about what they can and cannot do.
