The Bush/Cheney Administration has spent the last 6+ years building an
organizational, legal, and technical infrastructure for Executive
Branch power, including anything from wiretap infrastructures to the
Patriot Act to stuffing the courts and Justice Department with pro-
executive-power people,

This has gone on forever. The NSA simply knows anything it wants to
about you. The best source of information are commercial spies like
Yahoo, Google and your ISP. NSA/FBI/CIA/IRS simply exploits that
resource and they are quick to comply to virtually any request. Those
are the real spies and I don't hear near enough concern about them

This note here is in that database, along with anything else you say
online. The fact that the government is looking at these data streams
is old news

"tapping" your phone is really intercepting a data stream, not
climbing up a pole and hooking up alligator clips like agent
Youngblood on the old Untouchables.

Whatever the Bush administration is doing, at least some of it seems
to be working quite well. How many terrorist cells have they broken
up with arrests? They just grabbed about 6 guys here in NJ that were
planning an attack on Fort Dix. Those guys are in jail now. And
there hasn't been an attack in 6 years here in the USA.
