Our personal freedoms and the Constitution are no more worth the creation of a massive internal inteligence apparatus in lieu of the simple solution of eliminating the Islamic presence in America, than are the multiplicity of anti-drug laws in lieu of the solution of permitting committed adicts the priviledge of burning their brains out with drugs as cheaply as possible as long as they are permanently isolated from the mass of normal society whil;e doing so.
Bush is sowing the seeds of a future intelligence apparatus which can be used to control political thought in America and monitor people who disagree with the government - one which will be employed without scruples by inevitable future DemocRatic regimes.
