After the revelations came to light of the NSA’s massive domestic
surveillance program, the President and other’s in his administration and in
Congress are in full damage control mode, claiming that they are not reading
the emails of Americans, everything they’re doing is legal, blah, blah, blah.
My question is, why should we believe you, Mr. President?
Everything this administration does is implicitly followed by the phrase,
“Trust us. We know what’s right.” Why should we trust you? In 2007 you said
this:
“That means no more illegal wiretapping of American
citizens. No more national security letters to spy on citizens who are not
suspected of a crime. No more tracking citizens who do no more than protest a
misguided war. No more ignoring the law when it is inconvenient.”
Were you lying then? What made you do a complete about face?
You once called for transparency, but this is the least transparent
administration in American history. And on top of everything else, you want to
prosecute whistleblowers, the very people who are shedding the smallest amounts
of light on the activities you say are completely legal and appropriate.
You’ve lost the trust of millions Americans, and rightly so.
Your actions are clearly unconstitutional and immoral.
