America: Total Surveillance Society

I still speak occasionally on behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union, so I was just reviewing the inexhaustible legal and moral assault on American freedom by the Bush administration, in particular regarding our kidnapping, torture and occasional murder of people in the course of the War on Terror, when I ran across the ACLU's really nice summary of the confluence of public and private initiatives which are rapidly creating the total surveillance society.

I can only take so much of this. I suggest you don't read it.
