Glenn Greenwald’s Fish Tale

[reusrename]

11. I cannot make much sense of what you are saying.

I think you're saying that it's impossible to read everyone's mail or listen to everyone's calls. I agree with that completely. That's exactly why the metadata is so important.

As far as the numbers go, the uprising in Iran (pop. 25 million) was put down by making approximately 800 arrests.

I honestly don't think you understand how this technology works. To crush a movement like OWS they only need figure out who the most critical people are in the movement. I doubt if they need to monitor/neutralize more than about 100 people, once they've been identified.

By the way, the drone attacks are real. I hope you aren't saying that we are just imagining things.

All I'm talking about is science. How do you think the science works? What do you think I have gotten wrong about this? Can you please be specific.
