Quote of the Day

From an editorial on the NSA spying bill in Congress, the typically asininely named "USA Freedom (Freedumb) Act" --

Privacy advocates said the N.S.A. could use the changed language to demand records for an entire ZIP code, state or region. Administration officials say they don’t intend to do that, but their record of exploiting legal loopholes doesn’t provide much confidence. “If we leave any ambiguity at all,” said Zoe Lofgren, Democrat of California, “we have learned that the intelligence community will drive a truck through that ambiguity.” The bill, she said, will not actually end bulk collection.

Kudos to Zoe Lofgren!
