worried yet?

I am. "Bush sets up domestic spy service." "The FBI is effectively being taken over by a spymaster who reports directly to the White House."

Jim Gilmore, former governer of Virginia, led up the commission whose report included the recommendation that a national security service be created, warned, when his commission sent the white house its report, that it is "important to separate the intelligence collection function from the law enforcement function to avoid the impression that the U.S. is establishing a kind of 'secret police'". How chillingly forward-looking, Mr. Very Conservative Republican. It sounds like you weren't a fan of this idea, either.

I don't care how much education about the criminal justice system you give to your spies, Mr. Gonzales. Haven't you ever heard of checks and balances?



Brrrr.
