Given the recent news about the NSA’s domestic surveillance programs, this PBS FRONTLINE documentary hour from 2007 is worth revisiting: “Spying On The Home Front. In the report, Former CIA Assistant General Counsel Suzanne Spaulding tells correspondent Hedrick Smith, “So many people in America think this does not affect them. They’ve been convinced that these programs are only targeted at suspected terrorists. I think that’s wrong. Our programs are not perfect, and it is inevitable that totally innocent Americans are going to be affected by these programs.”
