    Will someone tell her that before we start (again) telling the rest of the world how to practice such things as human rights and ethics, etc. that one should start at home first? Yes... I'm looking the 5-eyes and their government paymasters on this.

    Of course, the simplest solution is to ensure that the data held and helpfully analysed by the likes of the NSA, GCHQ, etc. is available to anyone caring to pick it up.
