    So what'd you guys think about the CIA spying on the senate? Does anyone else think it's ironic that those senators that were so complacent with the NSA's activities are suddenly angry that the same methods were used against them? :D

    Well it definitely serves them right that's what's up. I find it hilarious that after Feinstein seemed so harsh on Snowden, now she's eating her own words by going after the CIA's spying which is exactly what Snowden warned about.

    Our rights are being eroded more and more on a daily basis by a govt growing bigger and bigger and more and more intrusive.

    Big Brother is watching! I think that one should be careful with the amount of freedom provided to security agencies with regard to the access of private information. When a government starts to spy on its own employees and law makers, it is a concern. The war against terrorism is real and does require access to information. Where do you draw the line? What is deemed acceptable and what not?

    The CIA, by law, isn't allowed to spy on the domestic activities of US citizens. Its creepy, to put it mildly, that they'd be doing so on elected officials in the US.

    At least they were spying on people other than their own US citizens for a change..

    Man, our country is in such a mess right now. Obama just went too far with his fascist-like regime. It is just a cyclical and never-ending stream of spiteful acts against one another.

    I personally think it is funny! Nobody is safe from the CIA, not even our own government. When you give an entity that much power something is bound to come back and haunt you eventually.

    The CIA has long been a tool of the business elites in America. That's why the Secret Service is attached to the Treasury. Always follow the money trail.

    I suppose their could be a humorous side to this Rosyrain. I envision almost like a series of Chuck Norris jokes about not being able to hide from the CIA. I just wish Obama would get impeached. We are in a terrible mess.
