The american intelligence maybe knows a little more than you do when it comes to what is best for the county. The very acts of terror demand that America be protected in some of these, invasive to privacy, ways. That is a fact of life, now more than ever. Especially now that America is dealing with external and internal threat. Do you think some of these anti-americans could be the next Timothy McVeigh? They sure sound like it.
The smallpox, you know I'm against, but some of the other intrusions into privacy can be worked out so it is in the best interest of all involved, and it doesn't scare me as much with Bush in the Presidency as it would with The Democrats in power.
