<I don't know what you are talking about.> You are alot more naive than I originally thought. So, let me backtrack a bit. The majority of Americans actually feel safer living under the scrutiny of their government. That same majority of Americans is willing to spy on one another and encouraged to do so. They TRUST their government, even if it pokes around in their banking activities or listens to their phone and computer conversations. Under the definitions of "terrorism" in Section 411 of the USA-PATRIOT Act (HR 3162, now Public Law 107-56), you may be a terrorist when you go to church, or to the Boy Scouts, or to your local rifle range to practice with your friends -- depending on what some future bureaucrat decides. Clearly, you have not heard of Operation "Tips-Terrorism Information and Prevention System: USDOJ registered postal workers, plumbers, police and painters .. spying on you in your home." "In mid July 2002, the AP reported that the US Department of Justice would be asking millions of Americans to watch for suspicious activity and report it to the government under a program that they were organizing." dojgov.net So, my original question to you still stands: "Where have you been Tommaso"? How can you be so shocked that "(apparently) one member of SI reported another member of SI to that FBI site as a person to be investigated?" In terms of my previous post, I provided a link where the other person "passed on" information that I posted. "The response to your previous links was "Send more jihadists." Message 19225337 Yes, I do realize the difference between "passing on" information and reporting a person "to be investigated".
