Summary
The only thing we have to fear is government intrusion in our lives. Potential government abuse of privacy from a programme designed to prevent another 9/11. I am unwillingly to the see the government engaging in using data mining to look for suspicious pattern in phone number called and email address.To prevent a day where, out of fear, we give government a license to look at anybody personal detail. They accessing it in ways that abuse individual liberties and violate personal privacy and in a manner that is unsupervised.
Author tone
The tone of the author is worried in second paragraph line 1 till 4 (Yes, i worry about potential government abuse of privacy from a programme designed to prevent another 9/11).
Beside that , he also show the same expression in fourth paragraph line 1-2 (i worry about that even more).But in fourth paragraph line 3-4 , the tone of the author is caring (not because i don’t care about civil liberties, but because what i cherish most about America is our open society, and I believe that if there is one more 9/11).He show fearful tone in paragraph 5 line 1 to 7 (if there were another 9/11, i fear that 99 percent of Americans would tell their members of congress: “Do whatever you need to do , privacy be damned, just make sure this does not happen again.”)

Purpose and intent
The purpose of author is to inform us to be on guard for abuses and accessing private data from the government.

The article is suitable to those working adult audience because most of them consist a lot of private data . Beside that, most of the adult owns high tech gadget for example smartphone , ipad and so on so they shall be more interested in this article because most of their private data is stored in their gadget. Furthermore they should be aware of where they stored their private data.

The author use a lot example in his arguement from paragraph 11 (“you would think that the government was listening in to the secrets of 200 million Americans from the reaction and the hyperbole being tossed about,”wrote simon) . Beside that, there are also example given from paragraph 14 (To be sure, secret programmes, like the virtually unregulated drone attacks, can lead to real excesses that have to be checked. But here is what is also real, Simon concluded.Those planes really did hit those buildings. And that bomb did indeed blow up at the finish line of the boston Marathon. )

They are a lot of slanted language in the article for example from paragraph 3( and that terrorist aspire to repeat). The other slanted language is from paragraph 5(Do whatever you need to do to, privacy be damned). Furthermore, there are more slanted language in paragraph 6 and 7 (That is what i”ll reluctantly, very reluctantly ) and (heroic whistle-blower). The last slanted language is from paragraph 10(200 million Americans from the reaction and the hyperbole being tossed about)
From this article, Thomas L. Friedman was good giving sarcasm way of persuading readers not to accessing private data to the government. In paragraph 5 he wrote ‘...99 per cent of Americans would tell their members of Congress: “Do whatever you need to do, privacy be damned, just make sure this does not happen again.” Here he tried to give sarcastic quote of a behaviour of citizens in the country (i.e. People simply give trust to others when they are in panic situation).
Then, he also did well to give reason to support his argument in this article. When he stated that Government would not guaranteed to protect citizens from terrorist with this accessing data but instead violate it. In paragraph 8 he write ‘…we don’t live in the world any longer where our government can protect its citizens from real, not imagined, threats…’. Here he is trying to give reason supportive facts. (i.e. accessing though private data to locate unknown terrorist threats is an unseen otherwise not take security on domestic threats is the real threat).
However, Thomas L. Friedman did missing some point when he stated that he is worried on upcoming programme that would concern civil liberties when there is another terrorism attack in the last paragraph. Some point that he missed was that terrorism could not be prevent with just some practice. (i.e. Bombing on marathon)

To be concluded, this article shall achieved to makes readers worship these writing until they feels to contact with their privacy data keeper. I would recommended that this recital should be read by my college friends. Because it is time for revolution where people can go riot just to get their rights equally. Furthermore, this is for improvement as in way of thinking where students newly placed their privacy data in a safe place.
