> I am specifically not talking about the NSA Right, and there was no reason to think I thought you were. > As for GCHQ oversight: it'd need to be a conspiracy spanning government (all parties); judiciary; etc Yeah, it seems unimaginable that one side of the same coin could be in cahoots with the other! If they tell us GCHQ is being carefully overseen so that it won't do anything naughty, then it must be true! Besides, they're probably only spying on those naughty terrorist foreigners - not Englishmen - so everything is alright! It's already public knowledge that the GCHQ is saving a copy of every byte passing through England, but hey, they need to do that to fight pedophiles and terrorists, and.. racists, of course!
