Looks to me like simple political ass covering. After all, she does have to appear to be doing something to justify her employment.

It's quite possible that this was deliberate and intended as a teaser.

I find it interesting that a major adversary of information privacy is our own government. It kinda puts them in the same camp as the Russians and non-State criminal rings. I guess we have seen the enemy and it is us.

I see the benefits of globalisation but can't support Cook on it. It creates greater potential for negative global consequences, things in our arrogance we assume won't happen. Even the shipping of bees around the US to pollinate crops makes me nervous—that seems like a disaster waiting to happen (why not develop a sustainable crop variety to encourage bee population year round?). Also, through globalisation there is a reduction in the uniqueness of different cultures, and I think it's arrogant to assume those losses are inconsequential.

There are also consequences of non-globalization, as we see with the slowly sinking ship of the British economy.

And there are even dangers in democracy, if the electorate is ignorant and uncommitted to the principles of that form of government, as we saw in Egypt and other Arab Spring disasters, and we may be seeing in the US right now.
