We're being studied and manipulated like lab rats

President Bush has turned the executive branch into a two-way mirror. They get to see everything Americans do: our telephone calls, e-mail, and all manner of personal information. And we get to see nothing about what they do.

yeah...? and...?

Governments have to keep secrets. But this administration has grossly abused that trust, routinely using claims of national security to hide policies that are immoral and almost certainly illegal, to avoid embarrassment, and to pursue Mr. Bush’s dreams of an imperial presidency.

ferchrissake, nyt... you're laying out a thumbnail sketch of an out-of-control, criminal presidential administration, and THAT'S your conclusion...? how about a CALL TO ACTION, fercryinoutloud...? i'm tired of sitting around, blogging my ass off, wringing my hands, bemoaning the fate of my country...

WHEN THE HELL
ARE WE GOING TO
DO
SOMETHING...?
