they don't question, the unprecedented removal of civil liberties that are being perpetrated on us in the name of "Homeland Security."

It's good to hear a few people starting to speak up for civil liberties again.. I am FAR from a civil libertarian but I think the government has had free reign in the name of security for long enough.
It isn't just uneducated yanks that have shut up due to patrotism... I'm not American and I think it has been very smart for all of us to stand 100% behind The US government after sep11... important to show the baddies we really all DO care enough to make it a bad tactical decision to do it again (hopefully)
But it does appear to have gone too far when a company like Yahoo thinks the public would think it was ok for them to give up that stuff WITH a subpeona, let alone just for the hell of it... Maybe Yahoo is forced to continue to host illegal shit?!!?
I reckon the first danger signal that Bush might go too far was when the USA told the world "We will not comply by the geneva convention" in relation to the taliban prisoners on Cuba... Any parents here think telling the kids to do what I say, not what I do is a good tactic?
