They need to be watched. Maybe they should not publish an editorial every day, and take a little time to collect their thoughts for a better product.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310158610197025977.post-31794905443280479712013-07-23T14:53:30.989-07:002013-07-23T14:53:30.989-07:00We seem to be in the same place on what's been...We seem to be in the same place on what's been happening, so I'm not clear with what you disagree.

Can unscrupulous indivduals take advantage of the situation to use private information against somebody, no doubt. But. that has always been true. I deal with data professionally, and I assumed all along the U.S. spooks were doing extensive data mining, and I think that is a good thing. The congressional oversight should probably be tighter, but that will balance out over time. Have a great day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
