Bad News For Americans Privacy Rights

After reading a good news story about Iraq, I found a "bad" news story about America, and concerns that we will lose more of our "rights", because of the war on terror card being played again! We all agree that things are different since 9/11, but really if we go so far overboard with giving up our rights, then the terrorists have already won, because they made us "change" who we are and that is their main purpose. Well maybe secondary purpose, obviously their main purpose is to kill us, but not living as Americans, is the death of our spirit and makes us less than who we are doesn't it!

As Congress debates new rules for government eavesdropping, a top intelligence official says it is time that people in the United States changed their definition of privacy. Privacy no longer can mean anonymity, says Donald Kerr, the principal deputy director of national intelligence. Instead, it should mean that government and businesses properly safeguard people's private communications and financial information.

We shall keep a close eye on how all of this plays out and will update when more information is available about the rights they want us to give up. After all the people testifying, basically are saying that we can trust businesses and government, to protect our privacy, and we all know how good the government is at running anything right, So this will just be one more fiasco in the making, and we will all be less safe for it!
