The title says it all...

the headline of latest post on robert parry's consortium news site tells you everything you need to know...
This Time, It Really Is Orwellian

Over the past several years, the word "Orwellian" has sometimes been overused in describing George W. Bush's authoritarian policies. But a newly disclosed government operation to electronically warehouse the phone records of 200 million Americans over their lifetimes does truly capture the essence of George Orwell's Big Brother nightmare.

i do have a small nit to pick... we've been living in an orwellian nightmare since the supreme court decision of 12 december 2000... the depth and dimensions of this ceaseless bad dream are only now coming to light...
