A lot to learn from "Business Records FISA NSA Review"

This is a good article, deductions and informed speculation from John Gilmore, an intelligent guy.

Best quote: "When you start from a severely false premise, you can go a long way into the wilderness before you notice your error."

Best observation: The section beginning with 'Their "need to know" culture'. It describes the effects of the compartmentalized security - both responsibility and knowledge are boxed up in such a way that nobody and everybody is equally responsible, and that nobody has an overall view, so that particular classes of mistakes are almost guaranteed to occur.
