Your unreassuring headline for the day
From the Washington Post: "
Secret Panel to Govern Domestic Wiretapping."
You know, in any normal sort of world, that headline would be rather alarming. But it actually represents a significant
improvement from the situation a day ago, where domestic wiretapping was governed by the personal fiat of various individuals in the Departments of Justice, Defense, and Homeland Security.
Not to say that I believe that those three organizations will miraculously stop all wiretaps (and other forms of surveillance, both focused and broad-spectrum) that are not governed by the FISC.
