else they talk to. it doesn't mean anything to not spy on world leaders. maybe you can save a bit of pr flack if another edward snowden comes along. i don't think actually the spying on world leaders would cause pr problems. i don't see that to me as a real concern. the real concern is that when you have an organization as powerful as national security agency has become and its five allies and the cost of engaging in mass surveillance is decreasing about 50% every two years because of the cheapness of computers and the cheapness of bandwidth, that is a threat to constitutional government in the united states. and also into other countries. what i wanted to see today was a mechanism that would retard that tendency, producing a long-term threat to constitutional government. i don't see that. i don't see that individuals are protected from those surveillance abuses. i don't see any prosecutions.
