Does anyone find the following somewhat distorted: "...White House
and Justice Department officials have argued forcefully that is a
necessary information-age compromise between the constitutional
right to privacy and the *traditional* powers of law enforcement
officials." [my emphasis] If wiretapping laws were passed
in 1968, I don't consider that *traditional*. Is Markoff speaking
about surveillance in exceedingly general terms?
