Instead, he tried to be the great mediator, suggesting both sides get together and attempt to devise a solution that would protect individual privacy yet still allow law enforcement the opportunity to secure data that might help them fight criminals, perhaps prevent a possible terrorist attack.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, there are also examples of people talking past one another, and making statements that just aren\u2019t so.
