The problem here is one of balance of powers and socialist hypocrisy. Take note that we are all now considered sinners deserving of surveillance. However, try for one bit to criticize the FBI to Ashcroft and you will get denial, and do not even count for the freedom of information act to work. So they are sinless, we are sinners. I agree that the FBI must gain powers, but so should we gain powers in of identifying and dealing with abject FBI behaviors as well as getting rid of moles within the FBI.

But, at war, we would think this is ok, to take orders, to give up consumption so that the government can consume us for purposes of preserving the nation from some threat that confines our day to day business. However, consuming a soldier for war does not mean one can use his property as a means of blackmail to force him to do those things, rather the behavior of the soldier towards a mission or with respect to a mission should be observed, and that is it.

However, the problem here is that the threat of confinement against our business is not addressed directly here, the threat that is addressed is a vague and global bunch of people whose profiling is, well, a PC secret of some sort that certainly includes private property but not private experts.

In fact the FBI is not on a treck to balance powers against terror organisations. It is not waging a war on terror. And that is the finer point. The origin of the confinement is not addressed nor sought to be destroyed. Just something to uncover plots. There is a big difference between fishing for plots and going after targets to destroy actively the origins of the terrorist confinement. We do not go after the central nervous system of these threats, we just go after the endings.
