While the Bush administration has shown a callous attitude towards the rights of Iraqi nationals, another new program threatens the privacy of all Americans. Called “Total Information Awareness,” this Pentagon-initiated program proposes to gather personal electronic information including credit card and bank statements, travel plans and e-mail, without a warrant. Total Information Awareness would infringe on the Constitutional right to privacy—foreshadowing a world reminiscent of the chilling vision George Orwell described in 1984.

...dead victims of Nazism. To not see that the real crime of Hitler’s Germany was not that (like Castro) it cracked down on dissent but that it cold-bloodedly decided to exterminate whole ethnic groups, is to be willfully ignorant—or perhaps just monstrously callous. Thank God for all those brave Cubans who fought and died to liberate their country from half a century of being America’s vassal state. And thank God for Mario Coyula-Cowley...
