Because a lot of people in the media seem to have forgotten, and far too many Democrat partisans don't seem to care anymore, here's a brief reminder about what we're really talking about when there's a bunch of wailing and gnashing of teeth over the NSA's surveillance programs.

You can often find some comedy in the New York Times corrections section, and today is no different. An article and a picture caption yesterday about the funeral of Sgt.
