> how very seriously the recent attacks have been taken in France The laws that were passed have very little to do with the attacks. All people are saying is, if the executive power wants to spy, and they can already, they need a court order. Increasing executive powers without checks and balances only leads to tyranny and despotism. When Obama allows drone assassinations, he is killing in your name - assuming you are american. Today it's in Yemen, tomorrow in Canada, in 10 years in US ... These people that failed protecting us at first place don't need more power, they need less. And it's well known that you stop terrorism with human intelligence, not with spying everybody at the source.
