The Domestic Spying Renaissance
Mark Rasch, 2002-06-24

John Ashcroft's decision to unshackle the FBI's domestic surveillance powers seem perfectly reasonable... if you forget why the bureau was shackled in the first place.

This FBI intel gathering is sounding a bit like precrime investigation, like in the Minority Report (movie out now, I haven't seen it, but heard about it), see www.precrime.org

I feel the final sentence says it all... the freedom of thought should not be so hindered as to make people fear social involvement or political activism because they wear a bumper sticker on their car and are now under investigation by the FBI. I think this fear is prevalent, and should not be increased. I had a FREE KEVIN bumper sticker on my car, and know many others who had the stickers, but didn't advertise them on their car... and I think fear is a reason for that. This stifling of free speech is unacceptable in a country such as ours where our diverse thoughts and ideas almost defines who we are as Americans. Thanks for the article.
