We can't trust anyone who looks this much like Kurtwood Smith! I mean, come on! Hayden's a dead ringer! How could we not expect him to mastermind a spy program targeting American citizens? Didn't anyone see Robocop?
But seriously, did we really not see this coming? I mean, I already assumed they'd been recording calls made by the few non-terrorist Americans left...if they've just been gathering the phone numbers involved, well, then that actually takes them up a couple notches in my book. Prepare the medals of freedom! Oh wait...I started this paragraph off with "but seriously," didn't I? Sorry for the sarcastic digression.
Do we really have to go through 2 1/2 more years of this? Can we give these guys, and the 1/3 of us who still like them, an island or something and tell them that's America now? Or maybe convince them there was another terrorist attack and get them to go underground with the whole shadow government thing? And then we can just start over without them?
