There's a lot of commentary on this story in the blogosphere. You can find all the latest at Memeorandum, but make sure to check out, above all, Glenn Greenwald, who in a must-read post with multiple updates declares that this is "extraordinary news -- extraordinarily good news -- on every level".
And it's about time.
