I have a severe problem with Ashcroft okaying using private citizens to spy on Americans

I am SOOOOOOO glad that the Sheriff in O.C., CA didn't feel this way last week.

I think you're missing the point. Operation TIPS wasn't simply about getting people to report suspicious activity... it went too far. It was basically an attempt to use mailmen, repairmen, and deliverymen as a means of an endaround the Fourth and Fifth Amendments.

Overall, I like Ashcroft, but Operation TIPS is a bad idea.

That's not what this article is about, though... it's about Grover Norquist.
