Big Brother

The New York Times reports that the Pentagon is working on a computer system to spy on us.

"As the director of the effort, Vice Adm. John M. Poindexter, has described the system in Pentagon documents and in speeches, it will provide intelligence analysts and law enforcement officials with instant access to information from Internet mail and calling records to credit card and banking transactions and travel documents, without a search warrant."

"Without a search warrant." Can you say Big Brother? I knew that you could.
