I certainly hope people who have their money invested with The New York Times realize just how crazy the people that are running that train are. Asshat would be a promotion. They have failed in their duty as responsible human beings to do what they can to help keep their community from harm. They are sick. They are so full of their own kool-aid that their ability to reason has been destroyed. I sincerely hope for felony indictments out of this.

Most of us don't have a problem with any of this - the NSA recording phone numbers, checking e-mails - whatever it is they want to do, the government seeing how little is in our checking account [okay, mine, anyway]. My goodness, I live in Saudi Arabia, I'm sure more than once our phone has probably been the subject of "interest," for that reason alone. I suspect the poor sole charged with listening to the weekly conversation I have with my Mother was bored to tears in a matter of minutes! I just don't see how those of us that are not criminals have anything to be worried about - or anything to hide. And further, everything that is currently being done by our Government in the Bush Administration is NOTHING THAT DIDN'T happen when Bill was sitting in the Oval Office [well, I mean as far as "security issues"]! I will just continue to shrug and nod my head in utter amazement...

If that doesn't work, I heard that Moussaoui is lonely at Super Max! Give up ALL your anonymous government sources on these stories and be prepared to suffer the consequences of your making and your choosing. Your arrogance and self-righteous behavior are NOT appreciated or asked for...and we CERTAINLY did not appoint you to "defend" us from the big bad government! Carol
