McCain: How our enemies communicate
John McCain, in interview with Pastor Rick Warren, 8/16/08:
" . . . But the point is we have now had technological advances over the last twenty or thirty years in communications that are remarkable. It's remarkable ability that our enemies have to communicate so we have to keep up with that capability. I mean there is too many ways -- through cyberspace and through other ways -- that people are able to communicate with one another so we're gonna have to step up our capabilities to monitor those . . . "
Big hat tip to Sacha Meinrath for spotting this. Sascha observes, " . . . McCain's quote is exactly what repressive regimes around the globe have stated throughout history . . . "
Who says McCain doesn't get the Internet? It's how our enemies communicate. Just ask him.
