There is no way that tapping into my personal information, without even the facade of having to explain yourself to a judge (usually sympathetic ones at that), has anything at all to do with defending my freedom. Get out of my emails, allow me to download what I want not based on corporate ties with a certain browser/ISP, etc., stop trying to limit free speech. That is defending my freedom.

As per our beloved Constitution, our privacy is guaranteed. The village idiot from Texas, now in D.C., and his minions are far beyond their rights in attacking our rights. While it is true that terrorism must be fought, this is not the way to do it.

Are we going back into time? People come from far to the USA so they do not have to go through these things. (Its called democracy.) There are other ways of finding out if there are terrorists in the country. This is why we vote for candidates for different offices so that things can be taken care of with out an intrusion on the American people. We might as well be slaves with no respect. What is this world coming to?

This is not new - wire tapping, going into your records whether at work or banks. Companies that are collection agencies do almost the same thing by contacting your neighbors, landlords and stating that the courts have given them the right to ask for information on you.

I agree with the civil liberties people! Don’t let Bush or anyone else invade our privacy. I do not trust him nor his administration! Let us keep our right to privacy, that has been fought for and won!

I value my privacy very much. There are other ways to keep track of the terrorists. The spying program is illegal and it is not fair for the working class people. Working class people work hard to keep the family together, to educate the children for a better future and to survive with the salaries we are getting. This is a violation of our rights, the U.S. Constitution and our freedom.

The civil liberties organizations and their judges weaken our right to safety vs. terrorist plotting. Where does it say in the constitution that our enemies have the right to secrecy?

This is something that, based on this administration’s past record, would surely be misused and abused.

Privacy to persons and property is top on the list of fundamental human rights all over the world. It is a shame that America, which is a role model to other countries in upholding this very important right, is about to breach it. I hope they are ready to face the consequences of their actions.

This is absurd. Our rights are being stripped gradually. Is this what will become of America or has it already begun?

Well, they may investigate someone like me for a day and realize I am a waste of time for them to be pursuing. Then they would leave me alone, so I'm not that worried about it because I have nothing to hide.

If a phone needs to be tapped, then the agency that will be tapping the phone can get a warrant to do so. That is the American way. To quote Ben Franklin, "Those who would give up liberty for security, deserve neither liberty nor security."
