conservative Americans that are in favor of low amounts of government
infringement on their privacy for any reason. In the first paragraph, the
author states that the government has taken more of our freedom away. This
alone points toward this audience.
-
One way that the author shows his target
audience is when he talks about a, “new handheld radar device that sends sound
waves through walls and receives back images on a screen of persons on the
other side of the walls.” He goes on to fight against this device because he
says if you were to do this to your neighbor, you would be arrested, but the
fact that it is the government doing it makes it fine.
-

audience is when he talks about the use of torture by the government against
suspected or convicted terrorists. He says that it is a severe crime but the
government gets away with it anyway.
Main Purpose/Message
-

the reader to think that any government surveillance on its citizens is
irresponsible and should be illegal. One way that he says this is when he
states that there are 60,000 domestic spies that are spying on Americans and
gathering all of their information.
-
Another way that he states this message is when
he says that the DEA bribed telecom providers to make their telephone lines
available to its agents. He goes on to say how the government should be under
attack for this but are not.
Contextual Details
-
The article states that the Government
Communications Headquarters, which is the British equivalent of the NSA, has
been reading US journalists’ emails since 2008. The only way they would have
access to this information is if the NSA gave it to them illegally. This just
proves to his opinion that there should not be any surveillance of American
citizens.
-
The article later quotes the Fourth Amendment
and states that the new radar that has become available to the police forces in
America is a blatant violation of this amendment but the government is refusing
to acknowledge this.

-
Another reason this this is the main point of
the article is that the author talks about encrypting emails as well, but how
it requires both the sender and the recipient of the message to be using the

states that this is changing for example Richard David James, a musician, is
only releasing one of his albums on a site that can only be accessed through
