Okay, you know I am not one to go off into a rant :-), but ... maybe a little around the edges.
Bushie has nominated, for the Head of the CIA, the General who has spent the last 4 years in charge of WireTapping Americans without due process or following the law. Bush won't answer questions about the wire tapping program, the Attorney General has told us that during this time of war - the President has nearly unlimited powers. (FYI - Time of War here refers to the "War on Terror", so my guess he would have the same powers during the Wars on Poverty, Drugs and TransFatty Acids.)
Now of course, many hard working, patriotic and loyal Americans have some serious questions about both the legality and the fundamental "Americaness" of bugging phones willy nilly. How does the Administration respond to these valid complaints? He stonewalls us. Talk radio calls anyone who isn't "with he President" a traitor. And then His Bushiness nominates the head of the organization that ran the whole kit and caboodle to run the CIA.
Maybe General Gladys Cravits has practiced enough on us at home, that he is ready to snoop of the world. Or maybe the CIA will turn into a domestic intelligence agency (it is so much easier to learn English than Arabic). In any case, say good bye to Privacy and Unreasonable Searches - they were only a couple of Amendments anyways.
