officials don't generally need much encouragement to snoop on people, and
they're not especially shy about the practice, either — just look at the Obama
administration's continuing argument that legal challenges to domestic spying
shouldn't be permitted because they'd expose "state secrets." But a
little cover for preferred policies is always helpful, so that politicians can
point to "expert" recommendations to justify what they were going to
do anyway. That's where a recent report from the United Nations Office on Drugs
and Crime comes in, since it urges politicos hither and yon to impose closer
scrutiny and tighter regulations on the Internet.
