Thanks. You know a great deal about these things. Maybe too much....Originally Posted by dMole
From the Amazon page for Puzzle Palace:
Bamford quotes U.S. Senator Frank Church: "If this government ever became a tyranny ... the technological capacity that the intelligence community has given the government could enable it to impose total tyranny, and there would be no way to fight back, because the most careful effort to combine together in resistance to the government ... is within the reach of the government to know."
