The link between NSA spying and DOJ Internet searches

[bonito]

snip. All is well until December 2005 when the media and the public learn about the program. Two lawsuits are filed. If any terrorist (or potential terrorist) is caught, and the trail of evidence leading to his arrest came from the NSA eavesdropping program, the charges could be thrown out of court.
And Now suddenly the DOJ wants records of internet searches. How hard would it be for the federal government to say the evidence came from the DOJ's anti-porn files instead of the NSA?
With so much going on I thought this might help to see through the fog. here's the link.

1. Who knows what they're really up to. The only thing for sure is that it's

not good. And not good for this country.

2. I know, who can trust them any more.

3. Seems terribly odd that DOJ needs studies of google usage. They

say it is to study pattern of child exploitation. Well - write it up and do the parameters and I'm sure google will say fine.

I hear DOJ is busy. I doubt very much they have the time to go over everybodies searches. So what are the parameters?

Saw it as a vote on a website.. and it looks enourmously like a wedge issue when you look at it like that.

Are you for or against the google records being given to DOJ?

No A matter of privacy rights

Yes A tool to fight child pornorgraphy
