Yes, it's a shame that the US constitution doesn't prevent a Canadian intelligence agency from spying on kidnappers in Germany and Algeria who are uploading videos of their hostages, along with Kenyans downloading bomb-making videos from companies in Hong Kong (Megaupload), Switzerland (Rapidshare) and wherever sendspace.com is located (their terms of use just says 'not in the US').

Perhaps not, but your constitution is.

Because I read the article and the accompanying Powerpoint slide deck, and those were the only concrete examples in it. You can't really make many hard conclusions beyond what was shown, and the examples that they did show weren't very infuriating...
