Someone correct my if I'm wrong here, but if you're referring to PRISM, that's not lying. Note that Dropbox as well as any other US company is subject to (distasteful, but otherwise legal) demands for information.

PRISM is basically a secure upload endpoint, not some automated, unaccountable, secret data siphoning tool. (Though they have those as well..)

If I were a popular enough internet company to get frequent NSL requests, it would only make sense to sign up. I have to provide the data, might as well make it as painless as possible.

Easy downvote. I don't think any of your (inflammatory) assertions are supportable.

While exarch's comment is inflammatory, Dr. Rice was involved in asserting the legality of torture during her tenure in the executive branch.

Her defence is that she was only the messenger?

You do realize that confirms she was not a war criminal?

Guess what: 99% of people don't give a flying fuck.

That's progress. Last year it was 99.1%.
