Scary piece on NSA’s supposed evils in USA Today this morning. Will have a more thorough treatment up later today, but in the mean time, allow me to do my bit for the environment and recycle another post that should provide some insights and balance out the hype.

Moring coverage from Michelle Malkin, Strata-Sphere, OTB,
Update: Retooled response for presentation in a periodical you are all familiar with (baby needs a new pair of shoes). Hopefully will be available soon. Short version has been covered here and at sites linked above and others: as long as you willingly let yourself get abused for money, shut up about people trying to keep you from getting blown up.
