Answer 2

Well we have all the terrorists to blame for that, they come from all different countries, then they betray us, and cause panic worldwide, so the government have now adopted the idea where we are going to be monitored with every move we make, I think yes in one sense it is a betrayal of the data protection act, as we keep all our personal details private, I mean what happens when it becomes available to every bugger, how safe will we be then???

Answer 3

From arresting and prosecuting journalists who are attempting to bring us this sort of information and keep the American public informed,

To the patriot act which is undermining our right to privacy by allowing federal organizations to sieze records without due process,

To attacks on abortion rights which is in essence, another privacy issue for women,

To presidential signing statements that declare the executive branch's right to ignore every law President Bush signs into being,

To writing in discrimination into the U.S. Constitution by denying an entire segment of the population the right to marry under law (ignore religion, this is a matter of state. If church's want to deny homosexual's the right to marry under religious circumstances, they can withhold services if they wish).

To government involvement in all levels of the Internet deciding what is 'obscene' and what is not (ignoring the fact that it's really the parent's responsibility to bar what their children see and have access to).

We, in America, are slowly losing the very freedoms guaranteed by our Constitution.



The idea that Republicans are against more government involvement has grown into a farce... and Democrats are paralyzed by a lack of conviction.

Answer 4

Yes they can - it is a complete betrayal the DPA and a complete betrayal of human rights - but we can't do much about it.

Answer 5

It's unconsitutional. It's illegal. It's typical of Bush. Nobody is above the law and Bush has crossed the line a few too many times.

And he will answer for it.
