bullfroge··on Bruce Schneier: Drawing the wrong lessons from horrific events
I didn't care for the phrasing at all. By using 4/5, that implies lower, and stands out far more than the word double. The conclusion drawn by most would be "less than", which is quite misleading from the actual data of "almost double".

Edit: There is also an edit button if you wanted to fix your wording.

The article seems to be implying that it's more policy change, such as the case of Thomas A. Drake they use as an example. Additionally, they shouldn't need to use the espionage act for basic leaks. I would imagine other laws should suffice (though I don't know the particulars of which)
bullfroge··on Show HN: Hackershelf. Community curated collection of legally free books

Just a thought, I found the chat box popping up on every page to be quite annoying.
