surveillance state has lost Toure (MSNBC)
He said that he has changed his opinion on this issue. He studied up, and read Daniel Moynihan's book on the matter. His reading plus the fact that the PTB can't show any real hard benefits to the program in terms of national security incidents has changed his mind.
I spose that poll showing the concerns of young people vis a vis surveilance affected him as well.
OTOH, MSNBC's lawyer and host Ari Melber came out swinging today on the surveillance issues! He is a true progressive, and smart as a whip.
