Goosestepping Towards A Police State

Bush creates a domestic spy service.
US President George W Bush has ordered the creation of a domestic intelligence service within the FBI, as part of a package of 70 new security measures.

The White House says it is enacting the measures to fight international terrorist groups and prevent the spread of weapons of mass destruction.

The authorities will also be given the power to seize the property of people deemed to be helping the spread of WMD*.
Groovy, eh?

Of course, the NYTimes thinks all this is just peachy.

It's pathetic how little debate this subject has gotten.

All because of 9/11.

The Bradblog has some good words on the topic.

*I wonder how broad the definition of WMD will become.
