Frontline: Spying on the Home Front

Great documentary from PBS. Worth your time especially since you can watch it for free on their site:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/homefront/

Go there, watch it, add your comments here.

Would topics like this be of particular interest to our readers if we ever decided to get into some investigative reporting as opposed to just doing our tutorial based topics?
