Sounds like the Congress could use something like Parliamentary privilege principle:
it allows members of the House of Lords and House of Commons to speak freely during ordinary parliamentary proceedings without fear of legal action on the grounds of slander, contempt of court or breaching the Official Secrets Act.[1][2] It also means that members of Parliament cannot be arrested on civil matters for statements made or acts undertaken as an MP within the grounds of the Palace of Westminster, on the condition that such statements or acts occur as part of a proceeding in Parliamentâ"for example, as a question to the Prime Minister in the House of Commons. This allows Members to raise questions or debate issues which could slander an individual, interfere with an ongoing court case or threaten to reveal state secrets
I found this extremely offensive website through just a simple Google search. It must be banned instantly! After all, we can ban child abuse images, why not MPs who are idiots?
Interesting you raise the point about the "mandate to spy on as much as possible on the off chance that it may prevent some terrorist act".
There is a very interesting article on the BBC blogs indicating just how useless MI5 has been at any sort of intelligence gathering, even the sort that's been painfully obvious over it's entire existence.

This. The Nokias I've owned before have all been great pieces of hardware. It's likely that if they launched an Android phone it would sell well. In fact, if they only put Android on one of their Lumia 925s, I'd be very tempted to ditch my Nexus 4.
If only we could use this against the Daily Mail website.
It's filled with things that could be deemed porn.
Well, the same town. But considering this Town is London, that still means a 30 mile journey..
Depends on one's definition of fair. If all multi-national companies in the UK paid the tax they are supposed to*, the UK deficit would vanish. That in turn means benefits for the poor wouldn't need to be cut, nor a squeeze on the health care system, education, investment in science wouldn't need to be reduced. Hey, and maybe everyone could pay fewer taxes if everyone paid what they ought to.
*: By this I mean the corporation tax based on their profit margin as reported to their investors and their regional sales.
It seems rather unlikely to me that if you committed a crime you would volunteer into giving your DNA in this sort of style. Was it a full match or just based on a few key metrics, which seems the most common form of testing? It could be family of him, for instance.
Judging from AT&T reception, that's certainly where their mobile masts are placed.
