The NSA Is Commandeering the Internet
Commandeering implies control, and the NSA does not have control.  No one has "control" over the Internet.<p>I also don't like this, "us vs. them" rhetoric that this story has turned some people towards, where the NSA are the unequivocal bad guys and we, the "little people", are the unequivocal good guys.  That's a great way to get absolutely nothing done.  The NSA is, despite everything we're being told by some people (Bruce), on our side.  It's paranoid delusion to think the NSA is actively out to get us - at least ostensibly, the NSA is trying to help the citizens of the US.<p>What we should be doing is asking for changes and modifications to how things are done.  There are some not-so-big tweaks to the currently running programs which can feasibly be made without compromising these program's efficacy while also providing more insight into what's going on.  We can have our cake (terrorist monitoring) and eat it too (maintain individual privacy) - it's possible.<p><i>That's</i> what we should be figuring out, not this chicken little/us vs. them bullshit.
