The Washington Post have released their latest expose' on the NSA's signal intercept programs. It reveals that the agency has breached their own data acquisition rules hundreds of times a year. It also reveals (the somewhat absurd) 2008 incident in which large numbers of Washington DC communications were intercepted because a software system mixed up the DC dialing code with that of Egypt... Anyway, as I argued back in June, we need to make sure that our assessments/scrutiny of intelligence operations are vested in facts rather than political gamesmanship.
Some of my other related thoughts can be found under the 'Other' section of this link page.
