Your personal attacks show limited knowledge and vocabulary. Police and FBI waste resources watching and harassing civilians for political and personal reasons rather than targeting people like this serial killer. Obama sends military to Libya to protect critics of Ghadafy. Try a course in logic. It will help your reasoning ability.

You've raised a critically important point that is not sinking in with respect to innocents abused by surveillance while criminals are ignored. A key element of this has to do with economics on a personal and national scale. Those who cannot do a proper job as individuals concentrate on the innocent easy targets just like terrorists in order to fake it to make it. On the grand scale oil is at the heart of Libya not human rights. That oil is critically important to Europe and the overall world oil price. The stability sought in dictators for oil supply has been lost in Libya's Colonel Gaddafi who has gone berserk. He would destroy his own country and who knows what he would do with the oil now.
There is also an alternate government at work in the US and elsewhere hidden under the guise of intelligence, protection against terrorism, state security and law enforcement. The Washington Post exposed this last summer as Top Secret America with a revolving door between the military and civilian security activity. These people have to earn a living when they get out of the military at all levels, and they have no skills. They can carry out surveillance in conjunction with law enforcement however. What do they do? They fake it against innocents to make it and ignore the real criminals. They are fraudsters seeking to milk the system.
In a very strange and quite complex way this all fits together under greed, glory and power where those without skills can make a living and wealth by faking it. It is quite independent of the elected government and out of control by either Democrats or Republicans. I've been one of these surveillance targets in London by former US Marines who fake it to make it since February 2001. I thought Obama's election would change this. Nope. He is caught in it and cannot establish standards just as he cannot close Guatanamo since it is such a mess now. He has to go along with the alternate government created by the US military and the intelligence community.
I have the very same complaint you voiced: why aren't these efforts and sophisticated surveillance tools being used against real criminals instead of being used against the innocent by people who are criminals themselves? Going to Libya under the guise of ensuring some form of democracy results is just an option for keeping the oil supply open in the future because Gaddafi has gone off the deep end. Against his people, yes, but also against the economic interest of the West and world.
The common denominator in all of this is the abuse of power for self serving reasons which is at the heart of misuse of surveillance and even the ultimate objective for the action in Libya. Humans still operate on the basis of self interest. The question is: are we moving away from this toward altruistic motivations and objectives in a meaningful way? I don't know yet. I'll let you know if the indefinite surveillance torture abuse against me stops. There's no reason for this to be done at all.
