"Shameful Act?"

"President Bush offered a vigorous and detailed defense of his previously secret electronic-surveillance program today, calling it a legal and essential tool in the battle against terrorism and saying that whoever disclosed it had committed a 'shameful act.'" (NYT)

Revealing that the government is illegally spying on its citizens is shameful and the actual illegal spying is essential. We really did go through the looking glass on November 7, 2000. Things are just too weird to be true.

Check out Jon Svetkey's song "Not the Hypocrite Rag" which predated this mess by nearly a decade.
