In fairness, I don't think that's Simon's point. I think his point is, the government should be allowed to do things like they did on 'The Wire' as long as there is due process, i.e. independent oversight, transparent criteria, ability to change the criteria through a democratic process. And yeah, we did ask for it because we knew about AT&T secret rooms and there was no outrage. Until we demand public hearings about exactly what is going on and what constitutes due process we're still asking for it.
