Quoting from:


http://rawstory.com/news/2007/US_drafting_plan_to_allow_government_0114.html

National Intelligence Director Mike McConnell is drawing up
plans for cyberspace spying that would make the current debate
on warrantless wiretaps look like a walk in the park, according
to an interview published in the New Yorker's print edition today.

walk in the park compared to this, McConnell said. this is going
to be a goat rope on the Hill. My prediction is that we're going
to screw around with this until something horrendous happens.

The article, which profiles the 65-year-old former admiral
appointed by President George W. Bush in January 2007 to oversee
all of America's intelligence agencies, was not published on
the New Yorker's Web site. (It can be read here in pdf).
