QOTD: Digby
On why
we can't reform the NSA:
Someday we might even be able to truly "reform" these programs in a
radical way (such as the opening up of government secrets proposed by the Moynihan Commission.)
That would require a president committed to doing it along with a
majority in congress that would support him or her. I wish I could see
that happening some time soon, but I'm afraid that's just not possible
in our current environment --- or maybe ever as long as we're a military
empire determined to organize ourselves by a need to meet some
existential threat (no matter how ludicrous.)
