Brother to brother; man to man; soul to soul.
Robert:
Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe has approved a new law allowing the security services to intercept postal, internet and telephone communications.
And George:
The Senate bowed to White House pressure last night and passed a Republican plan for overhauling the federal government’s terrorist surveillance laws, approving changes that would temporarily give U.S. spy agencies expanded power to eavesdrop on foreign suspects without a court order.
And in Europe, keep in mind where you smoke pot. Unmanned aerial vehicles - UAVs - may be watching:
That's insane and scary. When are people going to realize we're heading straight into 1984???
Don't these fools realize this is just to cover their asses? Why adhear to the law when you can just change it?
I find the arbitrary distinction between citizens and non-citizens for purposes of surveillance, search and seizure absolutely outrageous. We expect to be treated with courtesy and with full rights when we visit a foriegn country - when we fail to extend that same respect to visitors we diminish ourselves in the eyes of the world.
If only the Democrats had some power in Washington. Then these things would not happen.
