That was extremely frustrating to read. Scary to think how recently this happened, not to say that people like Mr. Tavenner don't exist in this country today, but I'd like to think we're past Congress interrogating and punishing U.S. citizens for exercising their first amendment rights. But then there's the potential of the NSA to do these sort of things more secretly, which worries me.
