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.

1) because the government can and will ruin peoples lives on a whim. The difference between me keeping track of them and them keeping tract of me is the amount of power I have compaired to them. Litterly if I have a problem with the government, and want to speak out or decided to try and do somthing to change things, the rest of America is there to dluite my vote, to keep the changes sane. However a government offical does not have the same brakes. No one is above the law does not include the people enforcing the law unless they want it.

2) The FBI is probably a nice group of conservitives. By their nature they resist social change. They are not flexable in their views. A good thing for a law officer a bad thing for the nation.
