The Obama Administration wants the right to spy on our private thoughts. He's using terrorism as an excuse but at this moment he's trying to get the right to access your Blackberry and your emails.
I remember when all hell broke loose when the NSA was caught data-mining. Now the White House wants the right to intercept and read our emails and text messages. Is this something you feel comfortable with? He already has the right to disconnect the internet in what he calls an emergency. Now he wants to be able to spy on whomever he chooses.

The Obama administration will seek a new federal law forcing Internet e-mail, instant-messaging, and other communication providers offering encryption to build in backdoors for law enforcement surveillance, The New York Times reported today.
Communication providers, apparently including companies that offer voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services, would be compelled to reconfigure their systems so that police could be guaranteed access to descrambled information.
It could become illegal for a company to offer completely secure encrypted communications--through a protocol such as ZRTP, for instance--if its customers held the keys and the provider did not.
Valerie Caproni, the FBI's general counsel, stressed to the Times that agents would still need a court order to force providers to unlock encrypted data. "We're talking about lawfully authorized intercepts," Caproni said. "We're not talking expanding authority. We're talking about preserving our ability to execute our existing authority in order to protect the public safety and national security."
