| Any other articles about this. Sounds like hogwash to me. It sounds like this is a little commission report that means nothing and has no power; as the lede even admits, the report just "recommends" screening for every citizen; it doesn't order it and there is no evidence in the article except for the idiotic lede that jumps the gun that Bush himself will push or order for such. The report will be issued and somehow WND makes this into a "Bush to screen..." story. As usual, just a case of WND stretching the truth.
See #447 and #540 on this thread, which contain links to the President's goals when he formed the commission and also to the commission's report. It's not unreasonable to infer that since President Bush wants to help all Americans wth mental illness, he needs to identify who they might be. In order to do that, he needs to screen as many as possible, and preferably all of us. Nothing in his stated goals is inconsistent with this conclusion. What is being considered, at the very least, is a major expansion of the federal government into an entirely new aspect of people's personal lives.
