I knew I felt somebody watching me.

At least 186 antiwar protests in the United States have been monitored by the Pentagon's domestic surveillance program, according to documents obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which also found that the Defense Department collected more than 2,800 reports involving Americans in a single anti-terrorism database.

"It cannot be an accident or coincidence that nearly 200 antiwar protests ended up in a Pentagon threat database," Ann Beeson, associate legal director of the ACLU, said in a statement. "This unchecked surveillance is part of a broad pattern of the Bush administration using 'national security' as an excuse to run roughshod over the privacy and free speech rights of Americans."

And this boys and girls is why we must curtail these war powers that George Bush has laid claim to in the interest of national security. At this point it is a given that Bush is going to misuse this power. He has done so repeatedly and there is reams of documentation to prove it.

Bush is a child who was allowed to wear his daddy's shoes and he just does not have maturity to pull it off. It is time to smack his hand and take the dangerous things away from him before he does any further damage.
