This morning (Saturday, 01/21) the Amarillo Globe Republican published an article by Morton Kondracke supporting, nay justifying, nay praising president bush's spying on any and all citizens he chooses to. He quotes Michael Chertoff time and again about how it is not only justified but legal to do so. The one Chertoff quote that is scary, introduced by Kondracke saying "Civil libertarians seem to fear the government is collecting huge quantities of data that it can use later politically" is, "I don't think anybody has an interest in accumulating a lot of information."
Gentlemen, I refer you back to the days of the Director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover who collected dossiers on everyone from movie stars to waiters, and used them constantly. Who are you kidding?!
Incidently Kondracke's article was in the space that local writers can now use only once every three months! Why did the Globe Republican editorial board make that decision? I guess the paper needed more right wing space!
