I was not aware this was a group that existed.

  It's kind of amazing just the level of rhetoric that has come out in
favor of increase surveillance ("monitoring") and decreased speech freedoms
(CISPA).... in just a few days.  Boston seems like one of the most
surveilled places in America, and I was just there like three weeks ago.
 The marathon, in particular, is taped from innumerable angles along the
entire distance.

  It's hard to see the logic in adding layers upon layers of surveillance,
when there's no evidence that it has any positive affect at all.
