US spy chief Clapper defends Prism and phone surveillance

[Magda Hassan]

Now there's an novel idea! Are you reading this NSA? Give peace a chance.

So what is a poor National Security State to do? Well, they might consider behaving themselves. Stop doing all the terrible things that grieve people like me and Edward Snowden and Bradley Manning and so many others. Stop the bombings, the invasions, the endless wars, the torture, the sanctions, the overthrows, the support of dictatorships, the unmitigated support of Israel; stop all the things that make the United States so hated, that create all the anti-American terrorists, that compel the National Security State in pure self defense to spy on the entire world.

I know, fat chance.
