I'm OK with spying on real enemies and those that we have reasonable cause to believe would do us harm.
I'm sickened that we feel justified in spying on our friends, allies and our own citizens on the chance that we might trip over a terrorist. The right to privacy has been forgotten. It is naive to think that the NSA is only looking for terrorists. They are looking for anything that can exploited and turned to an advantage for the powers-that-be.
I support the right to privacy. I'm willing to risk taking a hit if the alternative is to simply become that which I detest.
