Bull****!...... You ******s could not give a crap about Clinton etal. Doing the exact same thing... Why do you believe this is Republican vs Democrat? When Bush argues that we should sacrifice civil liberties to "save American lives" and the we should cheerfully sacrifice our rights for the greater good, SOME Republicans think that sounds like circa 1930's Soviet bull****. Other Republicans realize that, even if Bush is correct about saving lives, it's all small potatoes so far. If he really wants to save American lives, he (or his successor) will put the state security apparatus to work tracking down handgun owners and taking the guns away. That'll save 20000+ American lives per year. I don't see how anyone can claim to be conservative while buying into this. I'm glad to see a decent number of Republican senators and congressmen who don't. Democrats are supposed to support stuff like this, not Republicans. |

Well, Democrats are alleged to support stuff like this, Tim, but you remember who else did it? Nixon, with COINTELPro.

wrote: So it's not amazing to me that they're doing this (although there is some irony in sophisticated data mining when the FBI's computer system lets agents look up "flight," or "school," but not "flight AND school."). It's amazing to me that they can't cook up a way to sell it to Congress and the public; rather they feel they can just keep it secret, and when it gets out, they justify it by saying the President has the authority to authorize what the President wants. Or as Nixon said to David Frost, "When the President does it, that means it is not illegal." I'm too lazy to look it up the day after Presents Day (BTW, the 16 year old Bushmills Single Malt is very interesting, whether you normally drink bourbon or scotch, and this has a minor impact on my laziness), but I thought they DID have a data mining project that was largely public, with a badly chosen name, that was closed down a few years ago. Probably DOS based or done in PICK. FWIW, I'm talking about a comprehensive system, not the 'Total Information Awareness' or whatever the exact name. Curtis L.
