Condee Rice Let "IT" Out of the Bag

During the recent interview with Wolfe Blitzer Condee Rice defined what the NSA was doing as "detecting" rather than "monitoring"; the significance of which went right over Blitzer's head.
Detecting is another word for 'fishing", the carte blanche eavesdropping of a whole class of individuals without descrimination; i.e., something highly illegal. Monitoring is eavesdropping on someone suspected of doing something wrong, which is lawful, if due process of law is followed.
Detecting is covering all calls incoming and outgoing which means if anyone made a call overseas it was listened to by the NSA.
Some people might not feel that the government's eavesdropping is not big thing if they are looking for terrorists but our laws were enacted to protect the people from government seizures and intrusions into our lives. It is often stated, that we are a nation of laws, yet it is a great temptation to some to break those laws, to make it more convenient in pursueing justice, and what that all means, this transgression, is that Democracy does not work.
It is up to the people, to decide if it does or not, to cast out those who does not believe that it does.
