So, if I have this straight......our govt. agency charged with protecting us goes outside our country to gather information on us in order to circumvent our own laws meant to protect us. 

Perfect.

lol, sounds legit to me.

My favorite part:   The information provides a much clearer picture of the individual than merely collecting their phone records, since it can reveal a person’s political, professional and religious affiliations as well.

Now I wonder which political, professional, and religious affiliations they happen to be tracking.

Yet another example of the AG's office needing to be out from under the Executive Branch.  IMHO, it needs to be an independent agency headed by the state AG's nominating a national AG and the state AG's acting as a grand jury.

If you own the prosecutor, are there really any laws?

This isn't a dig on just Obama because Bush broke the law as well.  Just google Bush breaking the law or Obama breaking the law and you'll get hundreds of examples from their respective opponents.  With situations like this, who is going to prosecute the government?  Seriously, who is going to do it?  Exactly, so there really are no laws with our current set up.

Wait, I thought the specific role of the NSA was in securing the nation through foreign intelligence and counterintelligence? Since when did they get into the drug smuggling business?

Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Honeland Security has had drug task forces for quite a while now....they operate in most cities.  I was surprised when we first came across them working the same case we were.  Nobody wants to be left out of the drug money seizures.  LOL

Where have I heard this before? Would government shrink if departments stuck to their original mandates?

You could also make the argument that every govt. agency has a single goal.....and that's to grow their agency.  Unfortunately, it's very easy to do just that.
