He tries to remove himself from it and gets tangled in a web of lies and decit that could threaten to bring down the goverment. As he runs across the globe trying to put an end to this out of control goverment program, FBI Agent Barry Osama is hot on his tail, and determined to stop him at all costs.
Shame that breitbart guy died or I could have sold him the rights.

Posted: Mon Jul 22, 2013 7:36 amA question that I've been mulling for a while.
I don't think that anyone can doubt that it's legal to monitor the conversations of non-citizens overseas. Morality aside, it's legal for the NSA or anyone else to monitor the phone conversations of one buy in Pakistan with another guy in Turkey.
To me, the question is, "Is it legal to monitor a conversation between a guy in Pakistan and a person in the US?"
My solution, which admittedly involves the sacrifice of some liberty and freedom, would be to answer that question "NO", unless the other end of the conversation ended in a certain nation which was identified by the State Department as a "watch" country. North Korea, Cuba, Pakistan, Iran, etc.
For instance, if I called someone in Spain, it would be illegal for the US to listen to my conversation. If I called Pakistan, it'd be legal. But, publicize those lists and practices, so that I know that my conversations are being recorded. After all, if I know that I'm being recorded, then it's not illegal (according to wiretap laws).
