I'm sure Rob will have more to say on this later today, and I will be out much of the day celebrating my wedding anniversary, but in light of this morning's report that the administration is collecting phone data on all Verizon customers - from terror suspects to ordinary citizens like you and me (and yes, I am a Verizon customer) - I thought it would be instructive to hear from a certain presidential candidate who held forth on this issue back in 2008. (Hat tip to Mary Katharine Ham for this one.)
