>You know,the scary thing about the US intelligence community isn't that they all are "after out liberties" or "againsy our privacy". My experience and encounters related to the IC scare me because they genuinely believe they're the good guys who're on the right side of justice. The real scary part is that they are scared of what will happen if they don't do something (where something entails disregarding laws and the will of the people). I would rather they be "after me" than scared of me.
>I hope academics consider this before getting into bed with them. They don't just have a subersive mission,they're making decisions out of fear.

See the point? You could have said that about any group you didn't like.
In my opinion any individual or group seeking to restrict the freedoms of the individual is inherently subversive to democracy.
But don't laws that apply to all individuals inevitably apply only to some subset? Most people have no desire to murder others and so are basically unaffected by a law forbidding it.
