Yesterday, we learn this: NSA broke privacy rules 'thousands of times each year,' report says. At the same time, the chief judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court admitted that the judges who are supposed to be protecting our rights really have no way to do so.

2,776 incidents of "unauthorized collection, storage, access to or distribution of legally protected communications" were reported by the NSA’s own auditors. I think it is safe to assume that the abuses are far more extensive than that.
