As Newsweek reports in its August 13 issue, the FBI has used a secret warrant to raid the home of former Justice Department lawyer Thomas M. Tamm, taking three computers and personal files.

The government is searching for the individual who leaked information about President Bush's warrantless wiretapping program to the press, prompting a New York Times report in 2005. Mr. Tamm worked for the Justice Department during a period in 2004 when critics of the program included then Attorney General John Ashcroft and FBI director Robert Mueller. Tamm is said to have shared concern, but whether or not he was actively protesting is unknown.

3. Upstanding citizens

make much easier targets than current or former government operatives playing with the likes of Our Constitution ("just a damn piece of paper" --W), anthrax, or premeditating the exposure of a secret agent. They feel comfortable enough in their deceit that it's time for the pendulum to swing back, and this is an opening salvo.

Classic transference in action. We are ruled by petulant children.
