Bio
Life's been sweet, and it still is. And I'm rumored to blog a bit as The Astonishing One.
(Several of you have recently thought it useful to bring to my attention that I am a crabby pessimist with a bad attitude. Yes, and you might as well have told me the sun rises in the east. That is where the sun rises, isn't it? If you think I'm crabby, then I say you're the one with the ratty attitude, going around supposing everyone else should be cheery all the time. I'm not here to be "liked." But life is still sweet.)

Re: Through A PRISM, Darkly
Thanks for the insights. Still, I think it is too soon to tell what was going on, but what we know so far about Snowden getting access in the first place indicates there certainly are problems with the way NSA protects the data it gathers, if not with the breadth of gathering itself.
What a bitter irony if NSA is properly limiting its own access to constitutionally protected data, while incompetently allowing our enemies to gain access to that very same data!
