Well, I thought it was only terrorists that were targeted?

One man's journalist is another man's .... ;-)

And the same invariable lie is always used, "oh, don't worry, we're only going to use this against the bad guys". Bad guys only exist in a world without nuance.

[mtnGoat → stavros]

bad guy is a just not a term that should be trusted when coming from politicians at this point. "bad" is an opinion in the sports of politics and power, because they are worried about their own hind end, not that of the state at large.

Exactly. 'Bad' and 'terrorist' is just the word play decision of some politician who surely does not have your best interest at heart.

People are really getting fed up with being lied to on a constant, grand scale.

[stavros → DSingularity]

Terrorists, journalists, only a few letters are different.

[dathinab → stavros]

Yes, just a word edit distance of 13 (6del, 7adds).

It's the same distance as changing <Freedom> to <Dictator> ;=)

EDIT: Yes I miscalculated, I overlooked the r.

[stavros → dathinab]

Such trivialities do not matter in a TRULY FREE country, and please look over here, not over there.

[Rapzid → dathinab]

Edit distance, sedis shun'ist. They are all ists; what more do we need to know?

[rodgerd → DSingularity]

NSO customers' definitions of terrorist may not align well with yours.

[ekianjo → DSingularity]

everyone is a potential terrorist under imaginary laws

[Hamuko → DSingularity]

A lot of the current world news strike fear into its readers. Surely that is some kind of terrorism.
