We Want AOL & Google Records - For...?

First Alberto Gonzales said he needed the Google records to protect against child exploitation and kiddy porn, now he says he needs the ISP records to fight terrorism. Which is it?

The real story is that the administration wants our records to instill terror in us. If we feel we are being watched, we will be less likely to speak out against their criminal activities. People who are paranoid of being trapped by an intrusive government are more pliable and less likely to resist government action. If you need proof, look at the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

Phone taps, surveillance and monitoring our web browsing has the effect of putting he cabash on dissention. The first and fourth amendment and the entire Constitution is under serious attack today. If you don't believe it check out the last few statements by the FBI.
