'Beneath You'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Explain again why we haven't yet pooled our resources with Emmett's mom and collectively emigrated to, well, anyplace that would have us?
Because we already live in San Francisco? Because my records are too heavy to ship? Because I'm still resolutely American despite the current administration? Because it's hard to go to A's games if I live in Canada?

The impression I've gotten is that a lot of the phone record stuff has been happening since 9/11. The fact that it's getting a lot of ink now, just when Bush is trying to get the former head of NSA put in charge of the CIA, strikes me as some inter-agency warfare via the press as much as anything.

Here's a good legal analysis of what the NSA's been doing.

Still trying to wrap my head around the CIA as one of the last bastions of defending our freedoms, no matter why they're doing it.
(And to be perfectly serious, I think inter-agency rivalries are actually a pretty effective protection. Call it second-tier checks and balances.)
