We have seen the greatest breach of internal security in NSA history and nobody has been held accountable at a senior level. Organizations that do not hold themselves accountable get held accountable through external means. In this case pervasive unaccountable surveillance is going to be met with pervasive unaccountable encryption. Of all the evils in the world, where does snuffing out democracies in Chile, Iran, Brazil, Greece and the rest stand next to terrorism? Pinochet alone murdered more people than all the terrorists of the 20th century did. Where does starting an illegal war that causes a half million deaths stand? This is an international organization. Suggesting that we leave such matters to those in authority without specifying which authorities makes a large set of assumptions that are probably more apparent to those of us who are not US citizens. You might think it improper for someone like me to question the decisions of your government. I think it rather presumptuous for US citizens to assume that control of the Internet should lie exclusively with their government because none of the rest could ever be trusted. -- Website: http://hallambaker.com/
