Watch this very carefully. I predict that this purported effort to curb bad behavior will in fact attempt to legitimize the very bad behavior most of us find contemptable. Having shined the spotlight on the really bad behavior, I predict this administration will then find an only half-bad solution to tout as a compromise.
I know, I almost thought that the whole Snowden thing was their way to bring it out in the open to make it permanent. There is a collective, "meh", and the programs (include the drone assassinations) are made law.

Wow... I just spent an hour reading and rereading that small bit of text you linked to. I was never even aware of such a thing.
What a powerful idea. Thanks for pointing out the possible connection here.
