If anyone still has any doubts whether we are one step away from living in a police state you have obviously not been watching the news. First, just as many predicted an audit came out today reporting that the FBI has been violating the Law to the point of possible criminal charges. Exactly where would we be if W had gotten his way and blocked the audits?
We have the ACLU pointing out that Habeas Corpus no longer applies to ANYONE due to the fact that all of us can now be classified as a "Domestic Terrorist". And in case you think that surely this could not happen to a US citizen just remember the treatment of Jose Padilla. Incidently it was reported that the video of his last interview has "mysteriously" disappeared.
Recently news surfaced that the FBI is using a new computer program to read our emails, and track out internet usage. And in case that does not work the Justice Department and the GOP are reviving an attempt to force all ISP's to track all users activities forever. Don't you feel safer already?
