My dear readers … I didn’t want any of you to miss what got pushed through yesterday, and took away another chuck of our rights.
Reported by the Christian Science Monitor
A surveillance law pushed through Congress and signed by Bush on Sunday will allow the government to monitor phone calls and e-mails without a warrant.

It just shows that we really do not live in a free country as we have been lead to think. Yes we have many freedom’s that many others do not but we also have so many laws that we can not poop sideway’s with out breaking a law. Gee!

Protect America Act
From whom?
Right from the pages of George Orwell’s 1984 Big Brother is watching and LISTENING. No one is safe.
It baffles me how people can believe the propaganda dispensed. Even though history is written by the winning side and often presents a one-sided askewed view of how things were - The tattooing, starvation and murder at Auschwitz, the Chinese students Tiananmen Square Demonstrations and Massacre. Stalin’s “GREAT REIGN OF TERROR” all prove that
(To quote Orwell)
“No one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power.”
If it is true that this news was leaked and the FBI is looking for the source then we might as well accept the fact that the FBI has returned to the days when J. Edgar Hoover’s agency had the power, in the name of American Protection, to go outside the law to prosecute Americans whose politics, thoughts, words, actions did not met with one man’s ideal of America.

I have to say, that I could not agree with you in 100% regarding Warrantless wiretaps expanded, but it’s just my opinion, which could be wrong
