THE SIZE OF THE THREAT TO PRIVACY

I've thought that what we now know about the NSA is only a tiny fraction of what the U. S. Intelligence Community is doing or is planning to do. Billmon links to a post by William Arkin at the WaPo that lists 500 programs that have either been implemented or are in development. We may be really facing Big Brother in the not too distant future unless we can restore oversight of the intelligence agencies.

Now hold on here a moment. MindManager (despite its admittedly Orwellian name) is a very benign program that has no connection to the NSA. The content is created by the user, not by some dark agency.
