Al Franken Defends NSA Surveillance: It’s Not Spying, They’re Protecting Us

32. And with evidence

there is no spookism. What you are suggesting is that the government tell everything they are doing. Oops there goes that line of surveillance. I trust Obama and I trust Al Franken.

I think this whole thing is being blown out of proportion. We should be looking at the little stories tucked away in the corners and back pages of the papers for what is happening of concern that all this is overshadowing.

I have to explain in every one of these posts that I don't like surveillance, especially by corporations and mercenary organizations. I don't like it by our government. But our government is being hacked by other countries, notably China recently, and until our government can make us safe from them spying on us, and hacking into our security systems, I think we have to be proactive in searching how it is happening. It needs to be done by far fewer agencies. Way too many spy agencies.
