So you're saying the NSA isn't spying on Americans effectively enough?

They have not justified the existence of these programs -- if they were efficacious they would still be wrong, in my opinion, but luckily for me my opinion never has to enter into it because as it stands it's just a double whammy of a 1) massively unethical 2) giant waste of money.

So yeah, even if #2 wasn't in play I'd still be against it.
