If this doesn't 'smoke' you...nothing will.

From the report:

"The White House assures that tracking our every phone call and keystroke is to stop terrorists, and yet it won't snoop in mosques, where the terrorists are.

That's right, the government's sweeping surveillance of our most private communications excludes the jihad factories where homegrown terrorists are radicalized.

Since October 2011, mosques have been off-limits to FBI agents. No more surveillance or undercover string operations without high-level approval from a special oversight body at the Justice Department dubbed the Sensitive Operations Review Committee."

In short: every American is fair game in the search for terrorism...even into our private e-mails.

But, the very proclaimed targets in this War On Terror" are off limits.

Welcome to The Matrix....

    I saw it years ago!... I don't remember him having an IPAD...there weren't IPADS that long ago (was there?) Here's what I remember...the girl from that 70's Show was in it...the couple in the little white house with the human flesh on plates and they were shaky and had something...the book, hidden in a a hollow vintage tv. And Eli traded something for something and he shot some people who were surrounding him...hell of an aim for a blind bloak come to think of it. And he kept heading west, heading west to the ocean and then he was in a boat going to a better place where all the books were. the end.

    You collaborated on what screenplay...and how would I know anything about you? You're not blind...? are you Eli? Denzel is this you? Do you remember that time you called into ATT about 15 years ago and were kind of an ass....something about your wife's calling card not working....

    I have a true love that I can reconstruct with my eyes clinched tight.

    And then I reach out and touch my wife...AAGH!

    I'd say any wine...but, Ripple can actually run a motorcycle.

    What Eli really needed was a tiny solar charger that even I can get off of TV for $19.95. (But wait...there's MORE!)

    Maybe LS can tell us how Eli saw the LOW BATTERY warning on his I-Pad, since he was as blind as Helen Keller? She will probably claim that he was using a braille I-Pad....

    You could be the most stubborn person on this planet.

    You do know that I collaborated on the screenplay, don't you?

    And that I am NOT blind?

    I kind of get Vincent Price and that feminine Uncle guy from Bewitched confused... they both have that weird laugh thing going on. I think they both wore (or would have worn) fanny packs.

    Hold on to your 'stuff'...you never know when you might have to trade for water.

    Shampoo is good to hoard.

    nope. all butter, eggs, and fresh cuts of meat. He was an earlier version of Martha stewart. very into settings for dinner or whatever party. It was a lovely book full of nice photos. I gave it to somebody as a gift, as I no longer hold on to stuff.

    He did just that, he had the book with him for 30 years.

    He would open it and touch the words, no differently than a man would affectionately touch his one true love.

    He was also 'inspired' and kept from death, until he could accomplish his mission. I sometimes equate Alcatraz as the Gulch, and Gary as one of the head looters.

    I knew it! You actually think that Eli was blind!

    He wasn't. He had the ability to read braille, which is the 'hook' that does Gary Oldman in when he finally gets the book after destroying his world in the process. Did you notice that Gary's blind woman companion gives the audience the indication that she could read it, but finally has a way to pay him back?
