What is wrong with these people? How can anyone, let alone an educated, well-traveled leader, be so obtuse about the implications (and for that matter, the realism) of any such scheme?

Most of our leaders are much less bright and much more self-centered than almost anyone would imagine. The evidence repeatedly validates this, but we're reluctant to believe it. Many do come from relatively elite backgrounds but their knowledge and morality have surprising gaps.

“Lawful access” is the new soundbite for putting backdoors in all our software and hardware.

They’re malicious. It’s not that they don’t understand, or that some well worded essay will ever give them their “aha” moment.
They want power over you, and this is just another means to that end.

They are overwhelmingly self servicing to the point that intelligence is not even worth commenting on.
Smart or dumb, they are just in it to gain power.

Power I guess, only because they can. But if you communicate by Cell Phone (txt, email...), encryption can be stopped by law only because they are closed systems. But I tend to believe Cell Phones already come with a backdoor, so laws do not really matter for those.
If using gpg via email on an Open System (Linux, BSDs), good luck stopping that.
