  1. I’m not sure it’s anything new – under Hoover the FBI kept lists of thousands of “disloyal” Americans and, of course, there was McCarthyism …it took decades of legal wrangling (all the way to the Supreme Court) to declassify the volumes of FBI documents about John Lennon …9/11 is just another reason to finance a long-standing American tradition. (Have you seen the documentary The US vs. John Lennon ?)

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
