3/02/2003 02:48:00 PM | Brad Plumer re: Wiretapping Clint, interesting link, but there are a couple of possible problems with that article: First, as far as I'm aware, the NSA is supposed to gather information from a variety of sources. That's why it was created. Most countries have similar intelligence organizations, and they're all spying on the United States. Is the NSA using new, unprecedented tactics to gather information about other Security Council members? (Nowhere are wiretaps or intercepted e-mails mentioned in the memo itself, so how did the Observer deduce these particular methods?) Are they doing anything overtly illegal? Should the NSA be prohibited from gathering information on particular countries or organizations? Do other countries observe these prohibitions? Second, as I mentioned before, this is how the Security Council operates. You get votes and the resolution passes. Why isn't anyone concerned about flaws in the structure of the Security Council? I thought this was the liberal stance: if something doesn't work, you regulate, you pass explicit laws to make it work better. Any suggestions? perma link |
