We need more surveillance to keep a watch on these animals, who kill and maim. O yes, look for the four paki bozos in the tourist sites dawn.com Big Brother watching A decision by the Bush administration to install round-the-clock surveillance cameras at Washington DC's major monuments has rightly invited severe criticism from humans rights groups and even members of Congress who have said that it might infringe on the people's right to be left alone. The US Parks Services, which oversees these sites, has said that the cameras will be in place within six months. However, what is disturbing about this proposal is that it seems to have cropped up all of a sudden and without any public debate. This contentious scheme follows a controversial decision by the Justice Department - that it would interview 3,000 visitors, who entered the country between November 2001 and February 2002 and came from countries where, according to Attorney General John Ashcroft, "Al Qaeda is operative". Several ethnic and rights groups have with some justification pointed out that such interviews amount to nothing more than racial profiling. It is not clear how simply installing cameras will help prevent terrorist attacks, since technology cannot be the answer to everything. This is especially true of intelligence gathering, since the utility of information collected often depends on how it is evaluated. No wonder many politicians, including Washington's deputy mayor, have spoken out against the move. Understandably, there are many in America who feel concerned that the Bush administration might be overplaying the events of Sept 11 to increase its ability to monitor and keep under surveillance the general population. America likes to tell the world the virtues of democracy, and most Americans are quick to remind others of their abundant personal liberties. But measures like installing cameras at national monuments are unfortunately a step towards the abridgment of many of the freedoms the Americans cherish.
