The New Stasi

Right now it looks like the only real change that will come out of the 9/11 panel is the possible creation of a domestic intelligence agency. How sad is this? The lasting legacy of one of the worst tragedies in our history will be a government that spies on its own people(officially). Of course, I'm not the only one who thinks this is a bad idea, directors Mueller and Freeh as well as former AG Reno seemed to oppose the idea. But in a frenzy to shield the President from blame, the commission looks like it will unleash its wrath on the FBI and the CIA.
Maybe I shouldn't be all that scared, because we all know the govt. would only spy on the terrorists.
