The permission was handed to them. Cheney is angry their secret program was uncovored. Expect less and less privacy.
Anywhere you go these days either the government, or a corporation is watching you. Companies like Budweiser fund programs to seek out marijuana growers. They pay for helicoptors to look into your house.
I bet they'll be funding unmanned drones to spy on us soon enough if theyre not already.
They elected Bush and that did not turn out to well so they tried something else. However I would agree they are nuts to give any president the power to spy on us. Edit: The Prism program began well before Obama was president see this NSA slide showing the time line.
If you think Obama began the program no wonder you are mad at him but as you can see Microsoft Google and Yahoo were brought on board by Bush http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/spe...
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
