As jarring as it might be, there was nothing new in any of the attorney general's answers yesterday.
  • Freedom is the hardest idea of all

    While I generally applaud Mr. Olbermann's statement, even he seems to fail to grasp the concept of freedom from unwarranted government surveillance.

    He says: "Use Room 641-A to identify that E–assassin, sir, and I’ll stand up and applaud you."

    Why? Why would he do that? Is it OK for the government to retain all of our personal messages so that we can find out who said something mean about Barack Obama?

    Bad government is fine if it's used for good?

    The road to hell is paved with good intentions, sir.
