Big Brother Bush Takes a Hit
Well, as usual I'm here commenting on news that is about a week old. I can
never seem to get around to posting something until well after the fact.
Anyway, I was poking about reading my normal news sites when I noticed two
interesting things. One of them is an article by John Mueller entitled
A False Sense of Insecurity in which it is discussed about
how the current state of fighting terrorism is way over the top to the point of
being hysteria compared to the actual statistical risk. It's basically
suggests that we step back, take a look at the actual real world risk of another
attack, and respond accordingly.
Of more significant interest to me though is the ruling by a federal judge that
the
warrantless spy program is unconstitutional. The judge had
some might strong words to show how she felt too.
There are no hereditary kings in America and no powers not created by the
Constitution.
- District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor
Of course the Bush administration is appealing the ruling. Even so, I'm glad
to see that at least some level heads seems to exist and are pushing back
against Big Brother Bush. I just hope it isn't to little to late.
