Trust Us We Know Best
is the justification for the further intrusion into our privacy. My problem is that the goals of some of of those in power in the government and the true needs of our country do not coincide. I have a large problem trusting the government as the track record speaks for itself- Nam, Watergate, Iran-gate, 280 dead Marines in Lebanon, The Gulf War effort that was not allowed to finish of Saddam and now the info that the FBI in D.C. has been alerted at least 2 mos before 9/11 about the large number of Arabic flight students. I have a bumper sticker that sums up my feelings well- I love my Country but fear my government. One fact of the anti-terrorism bill that was hurriedly passed is that nowhere in the bill do they define what a terrorist is-so anyone can be labeled a terrorist if they are engaged in activities that pisses-off those in power. Our liberties are being nibbled away in the name of security.
