Growing numbers of senators realize they'd better start making public noises about being concerned, or they risk sharing the same lamposts as the rest of the executive when the public finally gets fed up with all this lying and spying.
Oh, they sent a letter. That will surely show those NSA scoundrels the error of their ways!
Please, have some sympathy for poor Microsoft. It must be very difficult to implement and market a gaming platform with government-mandated 24/7 NSA-online home surveillance, in a way that only a few people will recognize. It's a delicate trade off - MS need to retain enough market share to keep funding Mr Gates' crucial population cull vaccines, not to mention avoid Mr Gates getting kneecapped by his Elite NWO 'friends.' While at the same time minimizing the number of hackers who figure out what the system really does, to a range that can be comfortably and quietly handled by the CIA's assassination branch. After all it only takes a few hundred cases of new cars suddenly accelerating into fiery crashes, young men dying of heart attacks just after eating lunch, guys discovered dead from auto-erotic asphyxiation, and shooting suicides with back-of-head bullet entries, before the public might start to get suspicious.
The Kinect component is probably the most stressful for Microsoft. How do you build in facial and expression recognition so you can identify people smiling as they think about k-lling the P-resident, so MS gets a nice income stream from CIA rendition kickbacks, while not allowing anyone to plug the thing into their PC and notice all the packets it's trying to send to Langley or where ever?
