It's all about how we are being watched, how info is gathered etc. It's pretty mind boggeling!

It repeats at midnight here in the east.

1. This month's Playboy has a pretty amazing article about it, too.
Scary. And they even bring up how "no one ever leaves the Bush administration," sounding an awful lot like the mob, eh? The article says Bush has taken government secrecy to an unimaginable level, and a typical tactic is to assign surveillance duties on anyone who leaves, monitoring them 24/7, in case they write books about them.

These are dark times.

3. Please do watch it. It's very well put together and very informative.
As I sit here now, I wonder how the hell anyone gets away with anything????

4. Watch "The Persuaders" from Frontline
Towards the end they deal with some of these issues...
