yeah, but I think they administration is finally getting the picture that they can't continue using the threat of terrorism to justify invading Americans' privacy. I think that Bushco is just as guilty of inciting terrorism becasue they keep trying to frighten American's into submission with "OMG!They are gonna kill us all if I can't listen to Joe Arab Guy's phone calls" I ain't buying it no mo!
Oh, hell, yeah; I've been more "terrorized" by this government than I ever was by the threat of a terrorist attack (which I tend to think of as getting struck by lightning - if it happens, it happens).
Combine this with the passage of McCain's torture bill, and it's clear that for the first time the spoiled child in charge of the country is getting his hand slapped. I really hope you're right that that's the "message" they'll take away from this....
