A couple of quotes from an interesting article in the Guardian:
"Obama did not reverse what Bush did, he went beyond it. Obama is just
able to wrap it up in a better looking package. He is more liberal, more
eloquent. He does not look like a cowboy," said James Bamford,
journalist and author of numerous books about the NSA including 2008's The
Shadow Factory.
A clause was added to the National Defence Authorisation Act that
had such a vague definition of "support of terrorism" that journalists and
political activists went to court claiming it threatened them with
indefinite detention for things like interviewing members of Hamas or
WikiLeaks.
So...
Let's see...
I have donated money to WikiLeaks. Does this mean those insane self-appointed Rulers Of The Universe, the Yanks, can now "rendition" me to some god-awful place and keep me locked up indefinitely, or torture me till I recant my assertion that Obama is an insane megalomaniac who's lost all touch with reality?

Well, I contacted the CIA via their Office of Public Affairs website, and they replied, saying they had no interest at all in you; that they suspected you were just trying to score a free holiday on a tropical island at their expense; and that, in summary, you were an insane blogger who had lost all touch with reality. :-)
The CIA often gets things wrong... :-)
