Re: “Report: Islamic State handlers lured Colorado girls, recruited others,” Nov. 12 news story.
The Postap article on the teenage girls who tried to fly to Syria to fight because of Twitter and other social media contacts with militants left out the complete failure of the National Security Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency, CIA, and the other super-secret, super-expensive, super-intrusive spy agencies to catch this activity.
They claim they need to violate all of our Fourth Amendment rights to protect our “freedoms,” but can’t even detect teenagers plotting against the government. Give me back my privacy and dismantle the police state.
