I think this whole debate has become unnecesarily politicised and both sides are using extreme examples to justify opposing arguments.<snip>
Good read. Thanks for posting.Hmm...

The GCSB was not deliberately proceeding outside of the law, there was a misunderstanding as to the scope of their remit and a lack of oversight meant they proceeded unchecked while working on a small number of cases over a number of years.
It is disturbing that they did so over eighty times. I would have expected them to understand the law that they work within to a high degree.
