Government spying on its citizens isn't limited just to NSA spying on oversea phone calls of suspected terrorists. The Patriot Act considerably expanded the definition of "terrorist" to include suspected everyday crimes not related to terrorism. Despite the hype, there are no checks and balances.

FBI Apples and Oranges II
I returned the FBI's call yesterday morning. Someone who had identified herself as with the FBI had left a message on Thursday, April 17, 2008, to call her if I had any questions regarding a "no-records" response to an FBI FOIPA Request. I decided to hold any questions, until I received the letter that she promised to remail. I received it, and had one question: what FOIPA Request was this "no response letter" in reference to? I haven't been able to get a staight answer, so I called the phone number that she left. The number belonged to the person who she identified herself as, but the recorded voice wasn't the same- or it least it didn't sound the same- as the one that left a message. This voice sounded much older and different from that of the earlier caller's voice. At any rate, I called and left a message with my name and number and requested that she tell me what FOIPA Request this "no records letter" addresses. I still haven't received a reply to this simple question.
