Aaron Freeman: Spy on Me. Make my Day!. I want my daughters to have FBI files. I want them filmed by hostile government agents during mass protests against injustice. . . When my daughters are little old ladies and their grandchildren ask, "Where were you guys when the rebels saved us from Bush?" I want them to brag, "We were in Chicago, Washington, San Francisco. We're not lying, check our FBI files!" . . . Conscience makes rebels of us all. [The Huffington Post | Raw Feed]

Schneier op-ed on unchecked presidential power, NSA spying. . .[T]he president's wartime powers, with its armies, battles, victories, and congressional declarations, now extend to the rhetorical "War on Terror": a war with no fronts, no boundaries, no opposing army, and -- most ominously -- no knowable "victory." Investigations, arrests and trials are not tools of war. . . This is indefinite dictatorial power. And I don't use that term lightly; the very definition of a dictatorship is a system that puts a ruler above the law. [Boing Boing]

Hallelujah, brother!
