Google has allegedly requested help from the National Security Agency in tracking down hackers who attacked its infrastructure. The development has raised concerns among privacy advocates. The Washington Post broke the story that Google had turned to the NSA on Thursday, citing anonymous sources. Security experts and privacy advocates have questioned Google's motives. Some have warned that this could constitute another attack on American citizens' civil liberties.

But, seriously, this is not *that* different than screaming that you are trying to "undermine racial equality", by calling the LA police when someone that you think you once saw *living* in a non-white neighborhood breaks into your business. That the LA police haven't always been known for being race neutral doesn't mean that you should call the Fresno police instead, any more than having a possible problem in the US means you should call... I don't know who the hell they imagine we need to call instead, just because the NSA has had powers handed to it that are unreasonable by some recent idiots.
