Reading Your Thoughts

Like the Republican party once used to, I believe that government involvement and investigation into the personal lives of Americans should be extremely limited.

Under President Bush's eavesdropping program the NSA may "listen in on phone calls and read e-mails of Americans suspected of communicating with terrorists." This administration refuses to say how many are affected, how they decide who is investigated, or if the program has produced any intelligence.

The NSA (nicknamed "Never Say Anything") is the largest of the US's 15 intelligence agencies.

The question I am left to ask is what evidence does it take for one to become "suspected of communicating with terrorists?" Does an email that includes a word such as "terrorism" or "al-Qaida" trigger such an investigation? Should it?
