The True Danger In NSA / DOJ Actions

Please scan this recent essay by Marcy Wheeler (you should read it in full if you have the time):

Obama ad-Dajjal and his minions have created a situation in which they at least implicitly claim that their actions are NOT subject to review and that the accused have no recourse. If they say you're guilty, that's it, and they can kill you if they wish. AND they claim that no court, legislature, or other earthly power can challenge them.


If that's not tyranny, it soon will be.


tyr·an·ny noun \ˈtir-ə-nē\


: cruel and unfair treatment by people with power over others


: a government in which all power belongs to one person : the rule or authority of a tyrant
