"Reform the NSA" on the other hand not so much.

Not nearly so much.

I've tried to take a wait and see approach to this but it does seem that the pressure is building to some kind of volcanic explosion of truly dreadful abuses.

Time will tell who is correct and who is blowing smoke, maybe in fifty years we'll learn what was really going on.

I'm not holding my breath.
