Americans lost a whole lot MORE of their rights during WW I and WW II.
And the Poindexter project was a serious one which involved tracking terrorists, just as Able Danger did. They weren't looking at white bread Americans like you and me, who have nothing at all to do with al Qaeda.
Thanks for the reminder and reminders.
I remembered the Poindexter project as prewar, but I guess there's been precious little prewas time in the Bush II administration.
