This is the CIA's reply.
In light of the recent fight between the rather lazy NYC DA’s office versus Twitter, I decided to get off my duff and post the results regarding my government record. I did receive various letters from various branches a couple months ago, I just failed to bother due to other more interesting stuff plus I thought about filing some appeals. Eventually procrastination led to the point not being very relevant, so goes the way of a couple other whoppers (trip to Chicago ’11 finale, part two of Grandma’s passing and my review of The Dark Knight).
I changed my mind because I’m siding with Malcolm Harris, an Occupy protestor, and Twitter fighting NY over surrendering data in the state’s “criminal” investigation. The state is overreaching since they information they’re demanding would be more than the messages: IP addresses, login times/locations and recipients. Allied in the fight would be the usual groups too: the ACLU, Public Citizen and the EFF. I am a card-carrying member of the first.
Anyway, back to my results.
The numerous branches of the FBI stated they forwarded stuff on to the central office which replied there isn’t anything. If I wanted to file an appeal, I had 60 days and they did include some instructions. I would consider their answer to be relatively truthful. From what I’ve read, the FBI is busier doing what it’s supposed to be doing (fighting crime mostly) than the Hoover days (spying on the director’s enemies). Thus, they have fewer files on “uninteresting” citizens. DOJ falls under them.
The CIA and NSA were nasty and rude. They first stated there was nothing followed up with, if there were, it’s none of your goddamned business since my curiosity would compromise national security. This is coming from the schmucks who organized the Bay of Pigs fiasco, trumped up numerous threats and has no trouble giving weapons to our (future) enemies? This is why I’m against any involvement with the so-called Arab Spring taking place. We have no right to instruct other nations on how to conduct an open, democratic society when America’s is a sick, sad joke. Especially the overzealous attacks on the Occupy movements. It tells the world that the US police and other law-enforcement groups don’t work for the citizens due to their Koch problem.
