Saying who was intercepted and what was discussed pretty much burns that source for the future, which is an incredibly stupid thing to do.

I'm afraid that given how much sense (or, rather, how little) the administration is making here (criticizing Snowden for revealing secrets, then revealing secrets?!), I have to say that a different song is more appropriate as their theme song. Yes, it makes no sense. But neither does what's happening here.

In reply to Steve Bates. He uses a classical rondo form in the piece, and says he was thinking about 1984 when he wrote it. He doesn't really believe that people don't 'get' the obsessive nature of the lyrics. That's also the reason that the video is so film noir. He definitely is better off doing his own songs, as most singer/songwriters are. They write for their own strengths.

I’d rather hear him sing that than John Dowland lute songs. Stella has that CD; the man is a competent amateur lutenist and singer of lute songs, but f’chrissake, why must he do in public something he doesn’t do all that well when he writes good songs of his own and IMHO performs them very well?
