It was interesting to me to look at the bar graph that showed that while FISA violations seemed relatively stable, Presidential executive order violations have steadily increased. Hmmm... Then we have this gem:
The documents, provided earlier this summer to The Washington Post by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, include a level of detail and analysis that is not routinely shared with Congress or the special court that oversees surveillance. In one of the documents, agency personnel are instructed to remove details and substitute more generic language in reports to the Justice Department and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
Hopefully (yes, I can be a dreamer), all of this fallout from the Snowden incident, following the Manning circus, will finally call attention to the ridiculous behavior of our gov't. since 9-11. I, for one, am tired of this striving for a police state mentality.
