In his “hearings preview” oped in the WSJ this morning - “America Expects Surveillance” - Attorney General Alberto Gonzales asks us to consider the facts [of the NSA controversy] “from both a legal and a commonsense perspective.” I have no expertise in the former and barely any in the latter (according to people who know me), but I will venture forth to say this is one of the great “duhs” of our time.
If we’re going to use common sense, let’s imagine this.
