    It is indeed a repost, but it goes further even than that. In TFA, which takes the form of an interview, the response to the first question begins:

    Robert Guerra: Well, this project is actually the second report.

    Sounds like someone might have been nobbled. But in any case, describing countries such as the US or Australia as "free" - when citizens are free to view whatever content they want so long as they have no objection to so-called "Intelligence" services spying on them and taking whatever action they see fit - seems a bit hollow to me.
