sorry, I wasn't clear... telling that they've taken me away or that they
visited is the violation.

I thought they only could do that to non-citizens and those citizens
who voluntarily entered a foreign country that would do renditions for
the United States.

I did not attack you.

I attacked your anti-government rants. I stand by my position that if
your rants were true, they'd have come and taken you away long ago,
using the many powers and techniques you claim they have.

According to you the government ignores the laws (like the
Constitution) and does what it damn pleases.

An out of the blue out-of-subject-out-of-drift attack wasn't personal,
sure.... whatever.

Even if I were to accept that characterization, you did so in reply to
an extremely brief summary of supreme court history. Very odd.

Your argument is like saying if your car's engine hasn't siezed a badly
performing oil pump that's getting worse is not a problem.

I guess you just need personal experience. Sooner or later you'll get
some. I won't expect an apology. Although I suspect you'll find a way to
rationalize it until the very end.

"Can" and "do" are often quite different, especially when you're dealing
with secret military teams under the control of the CIA, none of whose
activities are ever reported to the public. If they were violating the
law, how would we know?

The only worse program we have is FISA (which allows the gov't to get
secret warrants, from a secret rubber-stamp court whose judges aren't
even publicly named, to spy on anyone within the US, including citizens).
