But for the Guardian to imply there is something nefarious going on with law enforcement agencies working to unencrypt emails -without giving us information to fill in the blanks about warrants- strikes me as dishonest journalism.

Of course law enforcement has the capability of unencrypting emails. That's how they catch the real bad guys. Now are they doing it to also spy on anyone that strikes their fancy? I don't see any evidence of that so far.
