Yea, yea, a pitiful attempt at retaining a shred of privacy, I know. :-)<br /><br />The coup has come and gone, what was illegal is now illegal (as it was in the prior Administration) because they have legal opinions (secret legal opinions) saying it's legal and a court (a secret court)doling out the warrants, (secret warrants) and the not-secret high court has tied the law in knots to avoid getting involved. If we were watching this machine being diagramed on SNL or John Stewart's show we would be laughing too hard to breathe at its absurdity. <br /><br />What is amazing is that I and you and others, all over the Interwebs, have been saying that for years and it was as if one was howling into the storm and no discernable sound issued. Being ahead of the curve isn't what it's cracked up to be, there is no satisfaction in being right. Keep up the good work Dredd.<br /> <br />We don't live in Orwell's world or even Kafka's; we live with Alice in Lewis Carroll's world.
