How is this politicizing exactly?  Is CIA directory John Brennan running for an office that I&#x27;m unaware?  It seems his commentary on surveillance is pretty relevant to the discussion here.<p>Also, &quot;being in a database&quot; is not enough and doesn&#x27;t point to the failure of the <i>concept of </i>surveillance.  In fact, it points to the failure to properly surveil.
