From the Wall Street Journal: Dancing Spychief Wants to Tap Into Cyberspace

The content of the article is quite disturbing, to say the least.

At issue, McConnell acknowledges, is that in order to accomplish his plan, the government must have the ability to read all the information crossing the Internet in the United States in order to protect it from abuse. Congressional aides tell The Journal that they, too, are also anticipating a fight over civil liberties that will rival the battles over the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

Oh no, the FISA battles will seem like a fond dream compared to this fight.

The dancing part?  You have to wait until the end of the article.

McConnell, a South Carolina native, also reveals that he fancies himself a fabulous dancer.

Well, isn’t that special?!
