Well, isn't this just fucking cute?

U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and FBI Director Robert Mueller on Friday urged telecommunications officials to record their customers' Internet activities, CNET News.com has learned.

In a private meeting with industry representatives, Gonzales, Mueller and other senior members of the Justice Department said Internet service providers should retain subscriber information and network data for two years, according to two sources familiar with the discussion who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Brazen sons of bitches.

Notice how, this time, they're not even trying to draw a distinction between 'terrorists' or 'suspected terrorists' and 'American citizens.' They no longer feel the need. They are asking for this because they are going to spy on you.

Thanks ever so goddamned much, American Public. You stupid bastards signalled that you were okay with the phone snooping scam, and now they're emboldened. They don't give a fuck who you are, they are going to spy on you.

And don't give me that'Oh, they're not collecting the data, just telling ISPs to store it' bullshit, either. They're asking them to store the data because they are going to spy on you.

And you let it happen, oh, American Public. Thanks. And shame on all you uninformed, Fox News-watching, 'if you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to hide' types. Enjoy your porn and your blogs while you can. [tag:Internet] [tag:Illegal Domestic Spying] [tag:Abu Gonzalez] [tag:FBI]
