US govt's spying powers curbed
Click HERE for article.
In a crushing defeat to the Patriot's Act, the US govt can longer collect the phone records of Americans to hunt for terrorists, once again manifesting the tension between security and freedom. Like the gun laws, it seems that freedom is a more paramount compared to their security. And all this thanks to the whistle-blower Edward Snowden, who first blew the lid on the whole issue of govt spying. But this also makes it more difficult for the Obama administration to rein in terrorism.
Qns:
1. Is silence always golden?
2. Can terrorism ever be eradicated?
3. To what extent is freedom limited in your society?
