Speaking of which, did anyone see anyone see the "Threat Matrix" last
night. It was on while I was doing some compiling and such and
contained some beautiful quotes:

  Journalist: What's to keep all the government from using
    [Carnivore] against U.S. Citizens?

  Gov't Spokesperson: The Law. Next question.

  ---

  Heroine: We've got to get them a lawyer.

  Hero: No. I'm making them enemy combatants. We have to keep a
    Chinese Wall between our prisoners and Justice

Ok, so there's more, but this show seems like something both
conservative and liberal people concerned about the eroding of civil
liberties can love to hate.

Reminds me that back during Clinton's term, the government was paying
for Anti-Drug messages in TV shows. I wonder if this is the Bush
Administration's attempt to do the same thing.

Mark.
