NSA monitoring of Americans? Large portions contracted out to Israeli companies.
Not terribly surprised. People in the NSA and the Executive Branch violated the NSA charter and the U.S. Constitution, and they don't care. It's probable that a lot of American tech secrets are going straight in to competing Israeli tech companies.

I listened to a repeat of an interview with the late Senator Robert Byrd, and he was talking about the time shortly after 9/11 when he did a scathing speech on the floor of the Senate lambasting his fellow Senators for cow-towing to Bush for fear of being branded un-Patriotic. Then Bush creates a shadow government without consulting the Senate. where Byrd was #3 in the line of succession to the Presidency, then goes on to create the Department of Homeland Security with zero input from the Senate.
Our freedoms are a far cry from what we had 15 years ago.
