To: Who is George Salt?
I grew up during WWII, to young for military service but old enough to remember civil defense wardens coming through the neighborhoods telling us to close our blackout shades. I remember detention camps for suspected fifth columnists, shore batteries up and down the west coast, rationing of strategic materials and a constant barage of propoganda about keeping security. I remember that anyone that spoke a foreign language or with a foreign accent were immediately suspect. I also remember that we weren't searched when we travelled by car or train or bus, airplanes were not available. The US government asked of americans many sacrifices and their support. Our current government has done none of these things, all it has wanted is to spy on americans in secret and to ignore the Constitution in the name of security.
