Re: joke There are some things in life that are not George Bush's fault. Like the fact that I can no longer get green onions on my Taco Bell food. But this, sir, is sure as hell Mr. Bush's fault! Subverting democracy and spying on its own citizens.
If we didn't do it during the second world war, we surely could have gotten away without spying on our fellow citizens during this manufactured, for-profit sham of a war.

I know we have a national fascination with 30 second sound bites, but I think there's something to be said about thinking before jumping...so we don't have to apologize later.
This is much worse than Japaneses camps...this time EVERYONE is a traitor and a suspect.

I thought you said we didn't do anything similar in WWII?
Are you just remembering certain items for the sake of justification of your point?

Chicago, IL | There is no similarity - except that both ideas were ill-conceived and could have used some old fashioned critical analysis - between locking up some of our citizens because of racist policies bundled as patriotism and illegal eavesdropping on private conversations on American soil

Uh. What?
