How is it possible that these people can be so utterly opposed to the privacy and freedom and WILL of the people that this is what they have produced and passed?
Only two things come to mind... the lust for power, or the fear of blackmail. Since this deals with security agencies, it's possible that it's both.
I see the same thing here in the States... for the same reasons.
BTW, that was a well said and well-thought out rant. Wish I could upvote it a dozen times.
