In a past article published by CNN almost a year ago, people had mixed emotions about the United States en posing a wiretap to stop terrorism and protect Americans in general from anything evil. Viewers from all over the world, responded in both positive and negative manner. Some said Bush and the intelligence agency are doing the right thing to prevent attacks and any harm. But on the other side people disagreed and felt if you take away that freedom what else is the government going to do and its our right to have privacy.
Using a non-bias point of view I believe both cases have huge points. One point is that we need to be safe. Our government pays intelligence agencies so that they find out information to protect and ensure safety for us. So of course its necessary for the CIA, NSA, etc. And it should be appropriate for the government to make sure calls aren't violations or a threat to us. We shouldn't be breaking the law anyways. One point to stand with the government.
The second point of argument is this a violation to our amendments and natural rights for privacy? Many in the emails responded by saying yes it is. Because we are in a government who is powered by the people. And people should be able to speak out and surely have their privacy at home. If the government is given the power to do such things what happens if they begin to grow hungry for more (and of course humans have the need for greed)? As Americans we should have privacy and knowing we are actually to coming home sweet home not home "I'm listening" home.
So fellow classmates, friends, viewers what would you do?
