reading about it just a few days ago, but darn if I can remember the source, might have been the Guardian under their NSA Files section.

Essentially describing the BND every bit as pernicious as the NSA, though NSA has larger global reach than the BND.. but they're doing the same, and citizens are reacting as one would only dream would occur here.
