I don’t usually link to the bits and pieces of media that I do – it’s for a different audience than the CT audience. But I’ll be doing the “Warren Olney show”:http://pri.org/programs/point tomorrow, and it promises to be … lively – the other guests are Stewart Baker, Josef Joffe and Joseph Wippl (a former CIA security professor, who I don’t know). Wish me luck.

I don’t know the other two well, but Baker is horrific. Best of luck.

If there’s a link to an audio file afterwards …

Be sure to kick Josef Joffe’s big fat warmongering @ss.

Yeah, given Baker’s in the mix, you should take some charm to ward off the evil eye.

Joffe is ghastly. Please show no mercy.

I must say I didnt find Joffe’s argument, that we’re all spying on our wifes and friends anyway so whats the problem, all that convincing

I thought it was a peculiar enough choice of a metaphor. As I noted, if you find out that your spouse has been sending private detectives to follow you, you are not (unless you are a highly unusual person indeed) think that this is a trusting relationship. I don’t think it led at all in the direction that Joffe wanted it to lead.

“Can’t have your privacy violated if you don’t know it’s being violated.”
Rohypnol comes to mind.
And the total elision of unconscious “knowing”. People knowing things they don’t know they know. As if you can’t know something you don’t know you know.
Of course you can.
And the further away you go from a rational work life, a life of the mind, the more prevalent and important that unconscious knowing is.
Most people live there, I think.
The creepy prospect of things like “Celebrity Bog Videos” etc. Where the subject exists in a blanketing cloud of CCTV footage already, so what difference does it make who’s watching?
