Names of NSA Spy Subjects Released

I found the level of paranoia and racism from the FBI agent regarding the Muslim Brotherhood interesting. It was also nice that the government agencies were warning about the veracity of this piece before it was even written. I'm guessing most Americans won't find this a big deal, but if you're concerned about the IRS targeting tea party groups, this shit should send shivers down your spine.

Even a U.S. citizen like Faisal Gill, who served his country both in the armed forces and in the White House, found himself spied on by his own government. “I was a very conservative, Reagan-loving Republican,” he says. “If somebody like me could be surveilled, then [there are] other people out there I can only imagine who are under surveillance.

“I went to school here as a fourth grader – learned about the Revolutionary War, learned about individual rights, Thomas Jefferson, all these things,” he continues. “That is ingrained in you – your privacy is important. And to have that basically invaded for no reason whatsoever – for the fact that I didn’t do anything – I think that’s troubling. And I think that certainly goes to show how we need to shape policy differently than it is right now.”
