So we are only listening in and checking finances of those

who have known or suspected Al Qeada ties, according to every Bush sycophant I've seen today.

Well, fine, great, get the terrorists.


But I can't help but wonder...


If we are able to discern that these people do indeed have Al Qeada ties, then apparently we can prove it, so why not just get a warrant?


The more I see, the more I suspect that these fascists are just laying the groundwork for totalitarianism.

I have even heard hints of the inevitable next step today from pundits.


"Well, now we see the increase of home-grown terrorists. So what good is it if we only monitor international calls and financial transactions?"



Moreover, how do we know that Bush isn't just using this new power to spy on Americans, especially political opponents? What guarantee do we have that he won't abuse his power.


NONE

I bet they spied during the 2004 election
