NCIS its most-watched network TV program, am I the only one that finds this a little skeevy? Investigators chasing a cold case following around the descendants of a long-dead suspect in order to scoop up whatever the descendants, who are not guilty of anything, toss in the trash can? And this was the first club out of the bag? How about asking the descendants to come in and voluntarily give a sample? Even if they lawyered up, so what? The case wasn't going anywhere, and even then, you still could do your spooky following after having made the request face-to-face. From the top down in American law enforcement, it seems like the first response to any problem is the covert one. Every cop at every level is now James Bond. The response to any complication in any investigation, even one that's four decades old, is to get sneaky. This is how you develop a population of sheep. This is how you develop a culture without rights, and make citizens into informants. This is how the substance of freedom gets changed, a little at a time. <<esquire.com
