Surely everyone knows about this already from the antics of Mr Snowdon and other whistle blowers. Not being a terrorist, a paedophile or a drug baron, I don't expect to be of any interest to the authorities. They already have enough of my dirty linen to bore them silly anyway; it's called applying for DLA. Of course I'd love to go a-burgling, but I have trouble getting my dog to guide me up drainpipes. But I have to admit that the whole thing casts a pretty sad sidelight on our supposed special relationship with America. Of course, our people at GCHQ are doing the same thing to Americans, allegedly. Well, they can collect masses of data, but analysing and using it effectively are different ball-games.
