Question About The NSA Wiretaps

[The Whiskey Priest]

When they programmed the NSA data mining for wire taps…did they only look for words in English? The last I heard there was such a shortage of mid-eastern language translators that there was tons of stuff that had not been translated.

Which stirred the thought about how they were selecting wire taps…were they only looking for words in English? Might not real mid-eastern terrorist being speaking to each other in one of the mid-eastern languages?

3. They are spying on people who speak English like you and me.

Like John Kerry and Al Gore...Like Robert Byrd and Jay Rockefeller. They could care less about OSAMA, because if Osama hits us, the BushCo crime family, will outlaw the Constitution and break out the Fourth Reich in full view of all the idiots, that "Trusted The pResident!"

as a data key....if they only used english,to me that looks VERY BAD.

They fired a lot of the Arabic translators because they were gay. :eyes: Email your question to someone who will be involved on the hearing who's a democrat.
