Pentagon defends plan for search of data [The Smirking Chimp] You know how the right gets their jollies out of calling the left un-American or unpatriotic? Let's tear them apart on this one. The Total Information Awareness project is about as un-American as you can get. Let's start hitting them with some buzzwords and catchphrases - President Bush's appointees are pushing this hard, right? They seem to want to turn the US into Soviet Russia, right? Stalin, right? Yeah, it's dirty, but I'm tired of being nice. I'll be nice when they stop calling everyone who disagrees with them traitors. I'm not saying we need to call the Bush Junta traitors, but it sure won't hurt to call 'em as I see 'em.
