Thanks for posting the articles. It is indeed tempting to turn this into a political football, which is exactly what's happening. What neither "side" seems to want to admit is that this sort of invasion of privacy has been going on with the knowledge of the ferdeal government since long before Bush was around. If people are starting to be more aware of it now, that's all to the good. Maybe it will finally be stopped.

I'm sure there are a lot of people who won't agree with me. Any takers?
