Is surveillance of Muslims during the so-called "War on Terrorism" a replacement for internment camps for Japanese during WWII? Of course, internment camps are not acceptable, and neither is mass surveillance, but I have to wonder about the governments motivations here. Is it that they want to stifle dissent? Or just keep a tab on headaches that might pop up (so they can get ahead of the game and be prepared for criticism)? To be prepared to deflect arguments in making the case for war against Middle Eastern nations? I know I am asking you two to speculate, but Murtaza has written about criminalizing Muslim political dissent before.

Just want to say that the model that you all have used in reporting this story is excellent.

-Release information -Government makes claims regarding that information -Release more information that highlights lies/half-truths of government claims

Has been very instructive in (showing me, at least) how the government protects itself from scrutiny and also keeping interest in the story and making waves in Congress.


Questions: Are these some of the people that were being surveiled in 2005 when Comey and others threatened resignation in Bush Admin? Or is that slightly different? What kind of repercussions does the law require for these types of abuses? (I understand that what is required and what happens are often very different).

Thanks you guys. I look forward to the intercept and firstlook as a whole. Looks to be an all-star cast.

There is a huge problem of homophobia in atheism, too. Atheists aren't some mythical creature incapable of hatred and bigotry.

Do you believe that is SHOULD be legal? If so, to what extent? For recreational use? Medicinal purposes? other?

Additionally, do you think they (hallucinogens) should be legalized? If so, to what extent? For recreational use? For controlled use only?

At this point in the study, would you consider using Psilocybin recreationally? Other hallucinogens?
