“ Academic freedom and free speech mean the right to consider ideas with which you might disagree. ”
I came from a dysfunctional family - very dysfunctional. And my father used to find great humor in throwing me down the stairs.

There is a huge difference between gathering intelligence in foreign countries, even our allies, and secretly getting information on U.S. citizens.
Ever since 9/11, our intelligence agencies, as part of the 'war on terror,' have expanded their operations to include American citizens. I was 'terrorized' when I learned that the National Security Agency was intercepting information on Americans.
We need to gather intelligence, but we need to do so legally.
