>>Why do you ALWAYS defend the liberal viewpoint in your posts?<<

The EO under discussion could have been written by Richard Nixon concerning the surveillance activities of the MK Ultra project. My guess is that the ACLU would go ballistic over the governmental activities described. The liberal position is that government should not be watching Internet activities, as this violates unreasonable search and seizure proscriptions, free speech, etc. I think these ideas to watch what is going on on the internet are percolating up from law enforcement authorities, not the radical left. The most conservative judges agree that law enforcement officials should have every tool at their disposal to fight crime. The Internet is just a new medium pursuant to which some commit crimes. Why would you tie the hands of law enforcement? Is weakening law enforcement and making the Internet the only place police can't enforce the laws part of the conservative plank? I haven't heard that, and neither has Mr. Bauer.

As for always taking the liberal viewpoint, I think you haven't been reading my posts on the abortion issue on the George W. Bush thread. I could point to many more posts on many other topics, but this should suffice for now. They're all within the last 24 hours.
