Technology is disrupting all sorts of things -- why not spying? I don't think Obama is personally committed to an escalation of the national security state, but I think it has happened on his watch due to where we are in history, and he isn't committed to fighting it. I don't think Clinton, Dole, W., Gore, Kerry or Romney would have made many different choices in this area.
