That sort of makes my point though... when someone is trying to portray some legal information gathering by the FBI as spooky and unjustified, they call it spying. But if it's the mob, it's surveillance, informant, source, etc.


my freedom fighters, enhanced interrogation, quantitative easing and revenue enhancement, your terrorists, torture, inflation and tax hikes.
Leave it up to the politicians to spin, there's something very wrong in America when NPR is trying to argue the doublespeak euphemism for the same action in opposition to the president.
I wouldn't begrudge that of the democrats, after all Obama went 8 years with a 100 ft restraining order between the words 'radical', 'islamic' and 'terrrorist'. But this is, as it has been for 2 years now, the media waging war on the president. I mean, a coalition of allies conducting a humanitarian intervention on the president

Far-left hero commenting on the "spy" label:

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) to @hughhewitt: "A confidential informant is not a spy."

Don't really matter what you call them. A confidential informant is still a spy.
