Rep Mike Rogers said (about respecting privacy) "We did this in the 1930s and … that led to a whole bunch of misunderstandings that led to World War II that killed millions and millions of people. We did the same darn thing that led up to the [9/11] Osama bin Laden effort."

Did he really just say that 9/11 and the Holocaust happened because the US was too worried about individual freedom and privacy? That's really ridiculous.
