this proposal crosses the line - because recording every web page you visit - is essentially the same as wiretapping your actual phone conversation - its the monitoring of content - what you read, what you email, etc.

I supported the phone number database archive, but not this. this is content.

Not really. It's actually worse because, as you have assumed, it implies that every link your browser pulls down is something you chose to download.

A browser hit pulls an index page, and then starts pulling images from God knows where, etc.

For example, if you read a Tony Snow thread on FR, the FBI might think you've got a fetish for Helen Thomas, since your ISP will invariably get dozens of subsequent requests from your browser for the Press Hag's images!

Thanks for the alert. I am getting a bit tired of these "requests" for information that Gonzales and his crew seem to love so much.

One toe over the line begats a second toe over the line ... and eventually a third. Then the whole foot. Then they just jump over it.
