Have Faith in Your Gov't—They Always Do the Right Thang!
Ever read The Count of Monte Christo? It's a big book even in the condenced version, but it might be time to start. In Dumas' classic novel, secret government letters allow agents to sneak around and lock perfectly innocent people up without the accused having any recourse whatsoever.
Of course the story is fiction. Certainly in America nothing like this would ever happen, would it?
If you haven't read "The FBI's Secret Scrutiny" On the Washinton Post site, maybe you should now. Sure, you're telling yourself, they'll only go after terrorists. Right. The government has only ever gone after "evil doers." And I've got a bridge in Brooklyn I'd love to talk to you about as investment property.
By the way, the FBI now has the right to know if you're reading The Count of Monte Christo, and they could construe this as seditious activity. The really neat thing is that they never have to prove it.
Welcome to 1984. (Isn't that a seditious novel too?)
