CRJ325 - WEEK 10 - DISCUSSION 10

"Electronic Surveillance"

Read the article found on the New York Times titled, “Bush Lets U.S. Spy on Callers Without Courts” found at http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/16/politics/16program.html?pagewanted=all. Next, support your opinion for or against the use of electronic surveillance of U.S. citizens without court orders in cases of suspected terrorist activities.

In regard to the use of electronic surveillance of U.S. citizens without court orders in cases of suspected terrorist activities random investigations are in violation of the Fourth Amendment. But if probable cause as well as reasonable suspicion exists then this in itself is a lever to submit to warrant or otherwise because of the elusiveness of captured evidence.

Although the infringement of expected privacy may be argued still exists the need to halt and challenge any inkling of a terrorism act hidden in adverse acts, deeds or speech that attack country, man and people. As a horrific day in this country of 9/11 this is the beginning of a true fight in this country to fight those who would destroy this nation.

Marking a threat to freedom this prevails as an insidious, blatant hate of all in this country and its right. Affording the Fourth Amendment is an admirable act but not at the cost of American lives and right to freedom and progressive advantages and evolving.

Dancing between the Federal Commission Act allows the corrective procedure to be followed but again the right is to protect our turf as the Eagle flies high we stand forth against the threat hot and ready. Acts of treason are paralleled to drug scrutiny and the right to move quick and fast is necessary to check, foil and control any threat and as such the need to do what is necessary is law and legal in this land.

Terrorism and Treason (T & T) have a face of dual purpose…a traitor to his race and country is an Achilles heel that will not be allowed without check but will be taken to task as any destroyer of this country. Lastly, I am in support of foiling both these acts and the means to catch and imprison all.

Thank you.

Hello Professor Abreu and fellow classmates.

I would like to invite you to my personal portfolio ... its easier to keep all info on a website for future employers or for chances of employment.

my website is:

feliciaswritingjournal.blogspot.com/ and it revolves around my mother who I love with all my heart and dad who pushed me to work and allowed me to dream. A sweet grandmother who went to college in her seventies and got her degree and a wonderful Uncle Willie and beautiful Aunt Daisy (second mom) who stood for me when I got sick and had to retire and other beautiful and courageous uncles. All in service to God and this country.

I have loved being in this class.

Please venture forth and see a dream come true that I am fighting tooth and nail for.

The complexity of finding terrorist activity is a problem. Imagine the vastness of America and its holdings that the government has to survey and scrutinize. It is a tremendous load and an act of terrorism must be dealt with before all legality is upsurped and criminal acts are hidden left and right. What is the purpose of terrorism? Its purpose is to destroy all legal sanctions, protections, structuralized government and freedom of the people and reverse a free democracy to a hate-filled tyrant hell-bent on controlling all. It has to be dealt with and the Fourth Amendment affords a courtesy of privacy but this will not allow hiding beneath it.

Thank you.

I agree but the depth of electronic surveillance also includes verbal and physical tracking as well as other methods. People suspected of terrorist acts is based on tactical strategy and it is done based on reasonable suspicion and probable cause that must be there to warrant and not on personal feelings. Also, I agree that it is life, real and an act that hopes everyone is sleeping while they erode everyone psychologically and attack internally to destroy the youth's right to safety, brain washing technique, seduction and play, trickery, bribes and anything else to destroy the image and respect afforded to all in this country and disrespect to our leaders.

This is what terrorism is...a different avenue but the same trick or treat style. Holding a country and people strong means no compromise and doing duty first and leisure lastly. Also, terrorist recruits find out the truth...they are not needed if the objective is foiled and our freedom is again and again showed to all and that each life is valuable.

Thank you.

I agree with you but the need to always afford the Fourth Amendment is necessary. But terrorism is not always situated in one place...it is elusive as "h" and takes finesse and tactical manuevers to catch these clever clever people. Further it is the average joe they use...who would suspect them? Further any active destruction of any business activity with intent is conspiracy and terrorism. All need to be stopped.

Thank you.
