I was expecting Krauthammer to come out against the NSA program today, but I was wrong:
I’m not at all upset by what was revealed today about the phone program. It is ‘meta’ information and what you get, A) you have to go to a judge. B) It’s sifted by a computer looking for patterns – data mining – if it finds a pattern it has to go see a judge again and look into it individually. And that I think is reasonable.
