I really don't give a rat's ass if the CIA got any information or not. Those bastards deserved to be tortured based just on what they did. Democrats are a bunch of pussies. Makes me sick.

We killed over a million Iraqis prior to 911. Funny how that works. meanwhile, fascism marches on here at home and you right wingers could give a rat's ass. CONGRESS PASSES BILL WHICH GRANTS “UNLIMITED ACCESS TO COMMUNICATIONS OF EVERY AMERICAN”Amash labels legislation "most egregious I've encountered" by PAUL JOSEPH WATSON \| DECEMBER 11, 2014 According to Congressman Justin Amash, Congress just passed a bill which grants the government and law enforcement “unlimited access to the communications of every American”. When the Michigan lawmaker discovered that the Intelligence Authorization Act for FY 2015 had been amended with a provision that authorizes “the acquisition, retention, and dissemination” of all communications data from U.S. citizens, he desperately attempted to organize a roll call vote on the bill. However, the legislation was passed yesterday 325-100 via a voice vote, a green light for what Amash describes as “one of the most egregious sections of law I’ve encountered during my time as a representative”. The bill allows the private communications of Americans to be scooped up without a court order and then transferred to law enforcement for criminal investigations. The legislation effectively codifies and legalizes mass warrantless NSA surveillance on the American people, with barely a whimper of debate. Read the full text of Congressman Amash’s letter below, which was sent out before the bill was passed.
