The US President has directed that a website be created to provide
"immediate, ongoing and direct access to factual information related
to the lawful foreign surveillance activities carried out by the U.S.
Intelligence Community." The address is: http://icontherecord.tumblr.com/
Two things:
1. tumblr? Really? Why? It's headed as from the Office of the
Director of National Intelligence. Why is it not a .gov host? This is
really odd. But the best fun is #2.
2. The name. They intend it to be read: IC on the record, with IC =
Intelligence Community. But it could equally be interpreted: I Con
the Record. I prefer the latter.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
