Unbelievable! Every time I think it can't get any worse...
The Bush administration has issued a blanket subpoena to Google, Yahoo, AOL, and MSN asking for the records of searches done on their web sites. No specific people, no direct connection to any crime. Just everything they have for a week. Why? The War on Pornography (to save our children, of course). What did one talking head say in response to the obvious privacy questions? "If you aren't doing anything embarassing, you have nothing to fear" (paraphrase). Sound familiar?
Google is the only one resisting these strong-arm tactics. The other companies surrendered immediately. Not only be careful of what you say, who you phone, what you listen to, and what you read... now worry about what you search for. Who needs the Bill of Rights when Papa Bush is on the job?
