So you thought you could have some degree of security by using a VOIP telephone service such as Vonage? Fuggedabout it. A Federal Appeals court ruled that Big Brother can essentially listen to anything it wants to and coupled with the Big Brother Bush administration’s attitude toward due process, you’d better start ordering your pizza in person if you don’t want the NSA to know whether you like anchovies or not.
In dissent, Judge Harry T. Edwards said the law "does not give the FCC unlimited authority to regulate every telecommunications service that might conceivably be used to assist law enforcement.” Silly Harry -- the law gives the Government the right to do anything legal or illegal the President and his band of thugs feels like doing, from torturing children in secret dungeons to reading your love letters. Just who does Judge Harry think he is anyway?
Yes sir, it’s a good thing we don’t let any “activist judges” muck up the one party control of everything that happens in America. If we had to worry about the Constitution every time we bugged your bedroom, it would mean the terrorists won.

Silly me, I thought my wife's relatives were being paranoid when they moved their family reunion from the US to Canada last year. The Europeans (Germans and Austrians) simply didn't want to come to America while Bush is in office - they figgered they'd be hassled at the border, bugged, searched, detained, whatever. At the time I though, "This is America, we don't do that sort of thing." Now I think they were right...
Watching the Bush Administration drill holes in it's own boat is like a drum solo. You know what's coming, but there's not a blessed thing you can do about it.
