FOCUS | Pentagon Admits to More Spying on Peace Activists
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/040606Z.shtml
The Pentagon said on Wednesday a review launched after revelations that it had collected data on US peace activists found that roughly 260 entries in a classified database of possible terrorist threats should not have been kept there.

4. Great satire on this

A new book The Department of Homeland Decency: Decency Rules and Regulations Manual has what's called a "LookSee" which allows government to check up on your reading, your eating habits, your sexual positions. It's not too far from what is actually going on under Bush. Check it out at http://www.homelanddecency.com

10. Uh oh, a few more bad apples

Golly, it seems like some folks just can't keep themselves from snooping. Well, no harm done, I'm sure. After all, they're coming "clean" with this, right? No need to suspect that there might be more than just these "roughly 260 entries." Because as we all know, the Pentagon is the very model of government scrupulositudinality.

Looks like we're gonna need the pipe to start busting the fingers of these crooks who've hijacked our country and won't let go of the wheel. I had hoped to avoid it, but I figured all along that it would have to come to this, and probably more.
